Came for the title referencing The Longest Johns, stayed for what sounds like an absolute wild little ride of a game!
This is a really interesting little system you’ve created! I’d love to try it out and see how it plays some time when I get the chance. I think you’ve also got the flavour perfect- it gets me fired up to play as a bumbling shiphand! I also like that you’ve kept the premise very specific.
One thing that you could perhaps add in an ‘expanded edition’ further down the line is a GM section. Perhaps you could have random prompt tables for the complications/endings/goals/etc? Overall, great work! I’m looking forward to more haha
Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. I was really hoping to add a series of prompts, I even had a fair few written, but I had to scrap it unfortunately to fit on the page and be (mostly) readable. I definitely hope to make an extra section in the future with this stuff, even if it's just another page.
This looks like so much fun XD Totally added it to my collection to play later. Love it!
Neat! The background texture was a little overwhelming for me at times but I'm reading on a mobile device so maybe that is a factor.
Thanks for the game!
Cheers for the feedback. When it is printed it seems fine, at least to the people I've shown it to. I should probably make a plain text version though for exactly that scenario.
