This is brilliant.
The concept is genius; the character names - Yellowbelly the turtle, Hollyhock the Conie, Fable the fox - are brilliant and evocative. I'm very impressed by the seemingly simple system - it's quite elegant. The question mechanic, the profound detail of the setting, Pluck, and all the advice on how to set things up ...
... again, it's brilliant.
Thank you for saying so. I was pretty happy with how the game turned out.
The names of characters took some thought and effort, just because most human names wouldn't work for animal characters (since they don't have the same cultural background that we do).
Hollyhock is named that as a joke for fans of Nobilis and/or the Victorian language of flowers.
