the everitng is on the map thing is really cool, didn't fully understand how you find the chalice
I like how you generate the map, and represent the players' locations with dice. I also like the space faring theme of your game.
However, as others have pointed out, it feels more like a board game than an RPG to me.
That is a really neat mechanic to build the "map" and establish the available resources on it, is that something you've seen elsewhere or was that original to this contest? Well done.
Thank you! It was original; the theme made me think of games like Galactic Civilizations II, and I wanted to replicate those random maps. I experimented with other things like playing cards, but dice turned out to be the simplest way to achieve that goal, given the word count.
This is a great board game. It looks a bit difficult to maintain enough trade material to obtain the goal. Seems tricky, but I'll give it a spin.
