I loved it as well! Really nice map-exploring vibe of the old games :)
Just a question about the Ask the Oracle roll:
Wouldn't it make more sense if on a 4 or lower, the result was the UNLIKELY outcome. And you could choose to hold A to roll +1d6 to push for your so desired LIKELY?
Then on a 5 or 6, it’s the LIKELY outcome and on a 7 or higher, it’s a MISFORTUNE?
Thanks!
About your question, let me explain it this way: faced with two possibilities (ex.: does the monster notice me, yes or no?), there is one that would be worse for your hero, but easier to happen (it does notice me), thus LIKELY, and one that would be better for your hero, but harder to happen (it does not notice me), thus UNLIKELY. The way it is, it is more probable that the LIKELY one happens, but you can try to push your luck into the less probable one, risking a MISFORTUNE (ex.: it noticed me even before I noticed it and is gonna ambush me). I hope it's clearer now!
