Thanks for the feedback!
There is a boatload of mythological significance scattered throughout, but they are deep cuts that aren't immediately obvious. I was going for subtle, and didn't want a simple retelling of the Minotaur tale.
The d55 dice cause a probability cascade. The base chance of getting a story encounter is 20%, and it increases by 4% after each random encounter. A d20 would unfortunately break this and make the scenario a lot flatter.
Statistically, this is only about 12 encounters long, including the story beats, so while individual entries are punishing, it's unlikely players will see everything in a single playthrough.
