I decided to make a pretty significant change to the Overland Sheet for the Game System. I removed the blank field on the left - originally used for Character Sheets - and instead decided to include more mechanical tables. Now you will find Enemy Loot Drop tables. Additionally, there are now shopping tables, lodging tables, and travel costs.
I've also included Minor & Major Healing Elixirs. To align with these, I altered the Settlement Available table. These just about don't change how to use these sheets at all, but I believe, will make them far simpler to use, and allow for more fluid sessions.
Why did I do this, after these sheets have been well received as-is? I follow the Instagram Account, Immersive Dungeon Delving, a great gaming account that post many insightful posts about D&D style games. Recently, they'd written about trying to capture the flavor of original Final Fantasy Games. This lead to Monster Loot Drops, which led to Tents, which then led to fleshing out all the shopping tables.
I cannot recommend their account highly enough on IG, and I thank them for their always giving something interesting to think about!
I really think these changes further increase the gamefied nature of the sheets, and frankly, should allow for even simpler solo play!
I know, I have been developing this product for too long, perhaps, and folks are maybe tired of hearing about them. But I want to make them the best they can be. Happy to hear your thoughts if you check them out!
Thanks for all your support!
