Thanks for the well considered and thoughtful feedback nomoredroids! I think all of your points are totally valid.

We've never done a Game Jam before, so this was a learning experience for both of us. We really focused on putting together a solid framework and getting it completed and published on time. With the tight turn around time, there will always be lots of ideas that get left on the cutting room floor- we have a running list of things we'd like to implement or revise (ranged weapons are a perfect example!).

The requirement for the full set of polyhedral dice are for the Pit Crew stacking mechanic. We considered only using the 6d6 for this mechanic, but thought it would be too easy. That's something we should playtest more.

Really appreciate you taking the time to write this up, we'll explore the items you mentioned. And congrats on completing your OPR submission!

Words to live by!

Thank you, appreciate it!

Thanks for the kind words Adalil!

We actually originally had "Cyberball" in the draft title until we saw your post in the Discord! Guess we all have androids on the brain haha

Like johnnyrabbi said, our initial idea was to take an old-school game like Yahtzee and combine it with a card game. It just sort of spun out from there. We were really excited about the dice stacking mechanic as a test of speed, skill, and as metaphor for the Pit Crew's quick work. Everyone has the experience of distractedly stacking dice while playing D&D, but under a short time limit it becomes a bit more challenging!

I'm not familiar with the other games you mentioned, will have to check them out sometime. Congrats on completing your One Page!
