Devlog 004 - We Found Our Bearings

Tides of Madness
A downloadable game

Based on some very helpful feedback over on Reddit (thanks Vern!).

What's new...

  • Clarified rules flow (Roll  > Mettle > Adjust > Narrate)

  • Event tables moved inline:  Fewer flips, more flow.

  • Renamed event tiers: the new structure fits tone and mechanics better.

  • Pale Drift rebalance: now flavorful without being a game-killer.

  • Port bonuses clearly explained

  • Old mechanics cleaned up: “Maneuver” and “Work” now gone.

  • Lexicon added
