This is fascinating! I really like what you’re going for here; the real-life integration of rolling to see when you get out (and framing ‘getting out’ as running from an enemy) is a great way to make a game about trains. Having this as framework and excuse to wander places you’d never normally go, and see those places with an eye to reinterpreting them through a fantasy lens… right up my alley! The list of secondary worlds is extensive and evocative, too, nicely done!
Thank you so much for the comment and I'm so happy you like the vibe. Let me know if you give it a go!
I haven't actually played it myself yet but a couple of new train lines opened in my city recently and I've been hankering to go visit some of the new stations so I will probably take some dice and a journal with me when I do and try and see how this works in real life.
