Love, love, love the idea behind the new class. However, I'm not a fan of once per 4 rounds or once per sesssion mechanic in general. Do you have alternative rule? Really high DC for the once per session instead?
Which of the new classes were you referring to in particular?
Yours is the 6th submission that I've rated and I've got to say--this is the most creative entry I've read so far, and I read some good ones! This is packed with interesting and innovative takes. Also, I'd give six stars if I could for overall atmosphere and feel if I could.
I like how you used the landscape format for your map, it really gave it that "western" feel!
The d66 table is so clever!
Um, D*MN (complimentary) There's some deep stuff in here about the nature of sin and one's duty to their fellows that I really dig, and the consequences of ignoring them.
Love the art. Structurally I've always been a fan of using the page size however you want, and the landscape pages make great use of their space for the map, tables, etc.
I think what struck me most, though, is ho well fleshed out the Plains are while being limited in their scope as stages of a journey. It would have been easy to have each area be a one-note expression of its goal, and this doesn't feel one-note at all to me.
Awesome map, and I love the monsters and parts table, especially the Not-a-Thing.
Well this is an interesting twist to the whole 8 pages thing. Using a landscape layout was clever.
Love the artifact of the past tables. Use-yes. to me! ha.
Oh! It's an interesting twist on death. Cool concept. Great hex map.
