arrrrrgh not the stress. sending warmth and love.

the "new game plus" options here are so much fun, and add a level of replayability into this solo game that i hadn't really thought possible in the medium.

in short, it's a delight. i strongly recommend you pick it up.

stoked! that's a glowing review. Will show it to my 10yo.

by "much later," i'm not kidding about. i think i probably skimmed some of Designers and Dragons, but nothing stuck except odd details. i think it was probably 2019 or 2020 when i first understood anything about the genesis of D&D, some 13/14 years after i first got interested in games.

another one if you don't mind: do you need to pay the Adjacent Region penalty everytime you move to Forage, or just the first time? it makes a big difference to some recipes.

thank you. i think i would have just assumed that i could, but i have the Inspiration Goal so i think i need to be cute with movement.
