This does the thing. When it said it would give cozy vibes I was like, "I don't know..." and then BLAM. Right away I could see the 1980s Ghibli-ness of it all. The itchio page has all of the information you need and the document itself is set up perfectly with that cover image to establish the tone and then the instructions flow so well. Easy to understand and at first I was like, "Oh, is that it?! No secret crazy mechanic?" but nope - it was off to the raises with ease and then you just GET it. It was charming and you have my seal of approval.

Thank you so much! As a new creator, your kind and encouraging comments made my day. Yes, it is super simple with no secret crazy mechanics, as you said. I had TTRPG beginners and/or younger players in mind, so I wanted the gameplay to be very accessible. Sometimes simple works, and I hope that's the case here. As I gain more experience designing games, maybe I'll get more adventurous with mechanics. I know for sure that I'm looking forward to participating in the itch.io community and learning more from all of you! Once again, thank you for your thoughtful and supportive comments. I really appreciate it!
