That time delay between pages is a Twine thing that I haven't figured out how to remove. It drives me mental. It's somewhere in the build CSS and I haven't been able to kill it.
I also found the options block the flow in some cases (I would keep the tavern name generator as is) but I intentionally kept it in to see if people would say anything and because part of what I was experimenting with in the generators was UI/UX. There are three(?) different methods I was experimenting with for presenting info and choices and wanted to see what worked best.
Thank you for the 5/5 post office letters!
