This has so much atmosphere and the writing is superb. Each sentence raises questions and horrors. Fantastic work!

Hi! Thanks for your question! They don't affect anything in Exploration Cycle, but I have a role-playing game, Treasured Possessions that the systems come from. In Treasured Possessions, the characters are spirits protecting a village and the interact with the world by inhabiting the villagers. To be compatible, the spirit needs to match the suit of their trait, Will, with either of the villager's traits, Strength or Skill.
Because you can use both games together, I left the suits in here so they're 100% transferable.
I'm hoping to publish a play test version of Treasured Possessions soon, maybe once I've got an example adventure to go with it.
Hope that helps!
So glad you're enjoying the game! The table of contents was supposed to be interactive, so let me take a look at that and see what's happening.
I put the four tables that you use most often inside the back cover so they'd be there for easy access.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, it's really helpful to hear your thoughts.
Congratulations! I made it to the end, but didn't always stick to a bit every day - I was putting things out once a month, so I could be a little flexible. Some months felt like a struggle, others ripped out quickly.
I think the main things I learned were to try to have a broad idea (each month) before jumping in but also not to stress if ideas weren't coming - a lot of things popped into being while I was out walking my dog rather than slaving over a hot keyboard. December only came together later in the month when I figured out what was going on and a few loose ends from earlier in the year got tied together.
