Oh, this is a lovely one. I really enjoyed your mechanic of using the number and face cards for different types of prompts, but combining them together to fill out a log entry. I think this creates a sense of variety because things can combine in all different ways, and these prompts are open-ended enough that they do feel combinable in this way. I particularly like how you addressed pacing - increasing the number of face cards per entry, therefore increasing the complications, is a really neat way to capture the panic-mode of "everything is going wrong!" It almost makes me want to simultaneously decrease the number of other cards drawn to make the log entries shorter and even more skewed towards the impending disaster. 

You absolutely can do that. Depending on how chaotic and short you want your voyage to be. And the jokers really give you that sense of a ticking clock. Once you draw that first one, you know it’s only a matter of time… ⌛️☠️
