I'm really impressed with how crunchy this feels within the 48-word limit. For some reason I was also driven to create feelings of doom with my entry but I think you did it better.

Nice one! I suppose that rolling an additional d6 still counts for Omega countdown and abandoning a companion might result in a -2. Will totally give it a try on a coffee break some day soon! Cheers!

I like this very much! I really want to give it a try. I would use another supplement to flesh out the wounded companions, so it hurts more to ditch them. Great and elegant game design here!
