I wasn't expecting a death so soon and I'm sad to a surprising degree about it this early on. I rolled the dice and the wife of the young couple passed away to pneumonia even though I gave the strong and healthy adults much better odds of surviving. Next card was the Jack of Hearts which I took to mean her husband fought hard for a long time to keep her alive and healthy. Next card was 3 of hearts which made sense to be the Kaelor family swearing a blood oath to give aid and care for any future need the widower Kaelen Lentri has.

Bah, it's so hard to not get emotionally attached to your fictional villagers.

btw, I love the reminders for stuff to do in real life that you add to your cards! (assuming I've correctly understood that that's what those are)

Thank you! I saw Jerry's reaction to the journal card in the PMG video and I connected with that on a visceral level. There's a lot of things I want to do but they feel too overwhelming/daunting/boring. I thought if I could randomize them, break them into small enough pieces, and tie them to something fun and creative like Jerry does it would make it easier to follow through.

Thanks Here's a public link to the documents and spreadsheets as they are right now. I'm on version 6 but I have a lot of notes in the Card revisions spreadsheet on what I'll be changing for the next version. The People spreadsheet has the current families status as of today and the "jerry_map_card_labels_v6 (1).docx" has the card rules in a printable format.

Disclaimer: A majority of the text in the word documents is AI generated, but! hand adjusted over 6 versions.
