Love the concept and the artwork is great. Particularly like the grey / pink colour scheme too - makes a really good looking faction.

Thank you very much, the color palette was almost an accident, I started working on the base of the vagabond board with the idea of changing the colors at the end, but when I added the characters I really liked the contrast they generated and I decided to leave that shade of gray XD
obviously !! I would love to find some mental health / Sanity scale. Like in CoC …. You know, A way to impact enemies who are exposed to the horror, with différent level of madness … sort of relationship chart of the VB …
« when enemie Warrior is sacrifice , Roll a Die and this enemie lose this amount of mental health » … and this could affect the next battle between you and this « shocked » enemie. (Sorry for the bad wording, i m french ^^)

Thanks a lot! Since uploading them we've tried them a couple of times in my playgroup and I can confirm that they're fun, they definitely need to adjust their scoring speed but we'll get to that in the near future.

Thank you very much! Yes, I definitely recommend waiting for the post-jam adjustments before doing a final translation and printing, I was also thinking of translating it into Spanish since my gaming group prefers that language. As for a Discord channel, I'd definitely like to use one to upload updated versions and especially to see if other players can help with balancing and testing, but I have no idea how to create one XD I guess I should ask an admin in the Weird-Root Discord. And speaking of meeples, yesterday I was making some on Thinkercard, check out how they're coming along (do you recognize the hat?) 
They look great, I can test-print them in a few hours, just let me know the desired colors as I prefer to print multi-color instead of just painting :) as for discord, I can send you invite link to both official and weird root discords. Both are great places to share own creations.
*edit* - welp, turns out that itch.io doesn't allow sending DMs (or I cannot find it). Hit me up on discord (username: blichew)
oh and also one more question: when removing warriors from the blessing of the deep when altar is destroyed. do those tracks function like any other token/building track? or it's the other way around: from left to right?
for example, community track: I don't place my own warrior at the beginning of birdsong only if there are already 3 warriors there? or 1st one goesn on the slot on the left?
If one of the symbol spaces is free, you place the piece directly on top of the space with the symbol, so I guess it doesn't work like a normal path, I thought of it as a kind of insurance to be able to take action in case all the pieces are removed from there, it's also the way you take action on the first turn.

Thanks a lot! I also liked how that semi-random way of choosing the herald turned out, I know that some players don't like RNG too much in their games, but personally I think that the restriction on choices could lead to interesting things like strategy changes in the middle of the game xD
