I LOVE the way that the narrative and rules alternate on the page. That gives the entire experience this poetic, dark vibe.
I don't know if it was intended, but the "dug too deep" and "awoke flame and shadow" feels like Lord of the Rings, where the dwarves dug too deep. That isn't a negative thing, I think you did an amazing job of capturing that (intentionally or not) and making it sing on your own.
I also love the hopeless nature of this. There isn't even a chance to roll a six five times or something, so you can live. But you still honor one another nonetheless, and there are still epic deaths to describe.

Hi Beth, thank you for your kind comment.
The âdug too deep / awoke flame and shadowâ is indeed a direct reference to the Balrog of Moria.
WOOHOO! LOL I wasn't wrong đ You sincerely wove it into your game beautifully, I absolutely loved it, it was a very powerful inclusion
Thanks a lot âșïž
Vraiment pas mal du tout ! Concept trÚs cool. Pas mal du heavy lifting qui fait gagner plein de mots est fait par "Le Seigneur des Anneaux", c'est bien joué ! :)
Par contre, contrairement à d'autres jdr en 36 mots que j'ai pu voir, et c'est sans doute trÚs personnel hein, pour que je sois pleinement à l'aise pour y jouer, il me faudrait quelques instructions supplémentaires.
Mais j'aurais envie de creuser ce jeu, qui m'intrigue.
Câest clair quâon touche lĂ aux limites du format :) Jâaurais pu gagner une phrase dâexplication (enfin, une phrase⊠4 mots) en sacrifiant une phrase dâambiance mais je regrette pas mon choix. Mâest avis que sur ce genre dâexpĂ©rience, il nây a pas de mauvaise façon de jouer et ça me convient de simplement Ă©voquer une mĂ©canique, de la mĂȘme façon que je me content dâĂ©voquer un thĂšme (mĂȘme si, jâen conviens, ça convoque un imaginaire bien fourni).
Merci pour ton mot en tout cas!
I love it !
I really love dwarves and this game is just one I want to play with !
