Congrats on getting a RPG done in 48! I had a few thoughts while reading:
- Really like the concept of being the shopkeepers / equippers of the adventurers. And it's fun that the shopkeepers think they know better than them. That's a fun idea.
- I would call the adventurers heroes instead. Then you don't end up with phrasing like "adventurers on their adventures". Makes it less clunky.
- I would have liked more of the system to focus on the shopkeepers. Right now, it focuses on the adventurers which I don't think is the interesting part of your game.
- Good job on those recipe tables! You packed a ton of content into them for the short time!
Again nice job! If you do continue on with the classes, you should add a general goods shopkeeper. I'm curious what you could do with some mundane items...
