Really clever idea to set the game to music to keep the sense of pressure/energy going!

The dABC is clever - most dice systems fall into a binary+crit for their outcomes. Being able to quickly generate three ranges of outcomes with different percentages can have lots of applications. Like how you used it with your random tables - allows you to target different percentages intuitively and in a condensed space. Great job all around.

Favorite kind of ttrpgs: I am loving OSR more and more. Like things simple. Shadowdark, Mutant Crawl Classics and current faves. Been meaning to try Mork Borg.

Is the your first time competing in the Jam? : I’ve been active in the OPRPG Reddit. I don’t think I have submitted to this specific jam before.

What do you hope to accomplish or how to you hope to challenge yourself during the jam? Thinking of making a full d100 table for the game . . . but ideas still melding.
I think GIMP is what ppl usually recommend. I can’t say I have experience with that software package tho. https://www.gimp.org/
Thank you Lunar! Yes I hope this VN (and some other projects down the line) help people see what kind of narratives Under a Hostile Sun can explore.
Some of the strategy of the ttRPG game does depend on a map (do I have the time to run over and collect? Should I just run to safety? Is collecting X worth getting close to the lava pit . . .)
I do have a base-building adventure in progress!! Very excited for that. Will introduce recipes for Components (SS+OO=Acid. Acid+MM= PowerCell)
I enjoy goofing around with Photoshop. If we like, I can make illustrations of some of the more creepy or trippy stuff to illustrate the rooms.
Post here if you want me to make an image for your room, and describe what you want.
You can see my Photoshop work at Hostile Sun or Martian Muckraker.
Cool, thanks for adding me.
I don’t have a super large network myself - most of the ppl on this jam found it simply through the Open Game keyword (I presume).
Will share with those I can.
As for the gods and the masters, I do notice that things tend to get out of hand without both. Case in point - if I could do this jam again I would more clearly define what (really) is an open game. Anyhow, Will start finding some rooms to populate.
For your jam itch page , you should consider shaking up the color scheme a bit - default grey might not be as inviting.
