Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad to hear you had a great time with this rough game. A lot of what you mentioned is actively being fixed or completely re-written for Courier 2nd edition (Courier Repacked)!
Trinkets were very rare and required a lot of luck to get one. I like the idea of exchanging rewards for others. Good stuff!
The factions are super rough in this version. The amount of bookkeeping is very high and the rolls needed to get reputation gains is a bit much. I'm happy to say all of that is going to be fixed in the new versions.
I'm offering a 50% off for all owners of this version once the 2nd edition is released, so keep an eye out for that in the coming months.
