| Feb 11, 2023 at 20:37 | comment | added | Anne Aunyme | I asked them earlier today and I got this: apparently he meant not that the benefits were too small but that he got bored of participating in the whole system. He wants a game where he can just come to sessions and play, but that simply can't work in Westmarches: you need to plan next expeditions with other players, relay the info, decide how you split loot... and this can't fit in sessions. | |
| Feb 10, 2023 at 4:54 | comment | added | ESCE | @AnneAunyme Have you specifically asked them about the apparent contradiction in their response? I'd phrase it like "hey, I'm having trouble understand these two points of feedback. Could you clarify them for me more?" | |

| Feb 10, 2023 at 1:49 | comment | added | Anne Aunyme | None of them have used Create Food yet and honestly I won't mind if they do. Getting basic food isn't supposed to remain an issue for the whole campaign, just during the early stage. I also agree that there seem to be a contradiction between the system being too important and not giving enough, this is one of the reasons why I think I can't take this feedback as it is. | |
| Feb 10, 2023 at 1:43 | comment | added | Anne Aunyme | My downtime system is actually a simplification over the normal rules (because I don't want to handle day-by-day activities for 10-ish players) and it basically only require those who want to do something to post, anytime during the week, a description of their action (some are very direct to rule: "I use Forager to feed everyone", some require a bit of work from me: "I excavate the tunnel so we can access the dungeon"). Anyway I use the official downtime rules as a benchmark. | |
| Feb 10, 2023 at 1:34 | comment | added | Anne Aunyme | Most of those things I have already done. Of course I already talked to them, and that's how I got those feedbacks. I wasn't asking this player in particular, just all of them, but this one is the feedback I simply don't understand. Same goes for admitting my mistakes and implementing feedback (but it hasn't changed the issue) | |
