This is a neat concept - I like the look of the Murphy's slider table as a mechanic, and the mockumentary rule feels like it would add some levity to the climax of a difficult journey

Thank you! The table is based on Mesopotamians cards by brilliant designer Nick Wedig. The trick is to derive a “higher level” value from a dice roll, bringing structure.
The mockumentary is more like a second wind. See, I needed to keep busy the players that had finished the game. I’d say it’s a relief to regain agency, an easy way to express one’s feeling, and it gives some power to help those still on the road.
