Hi, thanks for your words and for your time, it's very important to me to have feedback!
So, point to point
Maps:
I understand your point, however if you take a look at the "routes" sheet, the differente segments have an effect on resources and hint for the imagination with question. The topology affects the game in this way, I hope.
Style:
Eheeh, yeah, because I toootally knew that it was tails and not cross, sure, ehehe (thank you)
I'll see what to do with the font, it's my first game so I surely made bad decisions. (We engineers don't have a good look for this things, I'm afraid). Thanks, the tone was exactly what I wanted.
Elegant:
Well, I see your point about the flip of the coin, but it can be replaced with no cost at all by the roll of a dice on the table, with the division 1-3, 4-6 for success. I'll add a note for that, no problem. The core mechanics I thought was a "push your luck" one. BEcause a greek Hero always win, but at what cost? I was inspired by "never tell me the odds". If you don't know it, have a look, it's great. So you can win but lose something of yourself, of your home (Nostalgia).
I intended to keep it simple and fun, to feel you great and heroic. I think elegant means the most efficient and simple way to reach a goal. SImple it is, but I don't know if it is well aimed.
Easy to understand:
Yes, I'm sorry about that. It's a first draft of the first game I made, so I'm sure is confusionary. Even because I think it's more understandable with all the sheet printed and under your nose, maybe I shouldn't have divided in multiple documents. But for the sake of clarity:
-You lose for Nostalgia, not hubris. Hubris is your way to explore the world, and make yourself less prone to lose your will to come back home.
-The "good ending" is when you take all the routes on your sheet (it's a A4 paper divided in strip)
-The Home/Exile is the equivalent of the class of DnD, in a some way. I've uploaded one example, the Father (Home) and Demigod (Exile). For the words limit I didn't make more example, but ideally you would have a choiche of X Home and Y Exile where to choose.
I surely will make more clear in the draft after the jam.
Thank you for the review! If you have a look at the sheets you didn't read and you have more questions, here I am. :)
