Hey! Thanks for taking the time to comment! Appreciate the kind words, glad you like the theming. I really like Liminal concepts, and while this was written for a game jam with Utopia as its theme and Solarpunk in specific, I also really like recursion and subversion. I wanted to play around with the premise, and to contrast our expectations on utopia with a utopia that doesn't have us in mind. To your points however.
Yes, a character tracker for you, the GM and the Garden would absolutely be something to add. We might circle back and do so. The reason there isn't anything like that now is I had a page limit for the Jam to work under. When we Playtested it, the players kept their own. Different color dice would certainly help with the Stained dice. Since we did this over Discord, people just tracked them separate on their character sheet.
Yes, Forest should be Garden for "A Vagrant enters". Good catch!
I just went with Damage as an abstract term. It can no longer weather damage, it is destroyed as opposed to you cannot do damage to it, it is destroyed. Since the concept was keeping things standing, rather than intentionally tearing them down, I felt it fit. Other words would probably be more clear however.
