Thank you very much for your comment! And thank you even more for taking time to play my game!
So yeah, the 'gather a resource without gaining any benefit from it' means that one of your action must be spent to Gather something for the Presence. Yep, I should clearly clarify it!
Thank your very much both for the compliment and the ideas! Yep, one of my idea was to create a game for 2 players, one playing the ritualist, the other, the Dark Presence. Both must help cleanse the affliction, but, ultimately, have different goals. But the One-Page format was a bit too restrictive for that! So maybe in a small zine format, who know :D
Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to try my game! :D
Yes, the wording can be a little confusing, and I think I'll do an update to clarify how it works and also simplify the day&week routine structure.
Basically, you have two actions to perform each day for a week to reap the benefits. In other terms, this means you only get two benefits per week.
So, for example:
Week 1, I choose 'Investigation' and 'Pact'. At the end of the week, I can make an 'Investigation' roll and gain a benefit from the Pact (and roll on the Sacrifice table as a counter-benefit).
Week 2, I choose "Investigation" and "Alchemy." At the end of the week, I can make an 'Investigation' roll again, and also gain 1 point for the ritual ceremony.
Regarding the "Sacrifice" section, it's a table to roll when you receive a bonus from the Pact action!
