Fallen London: Zeefarer

[quote=Ragnar Degenhand]just the 7-8 gap between safety and total destruction[/quote]You may be onto something there, perhaps the crisis cards should already start appearing at level 6, or have higher frequency.

On the one hand the present system kind of resembles how it worked in the past once you hit TW10, but on the other, if I’ve understood things right it seems there’s a couple of key differences:

  1. The new TW7 crisis cards are not, in and of themselves, the backstop for TW like they were in the old system, and since they’re not guaranteed draws, you might miss them and end up going straight to TW8 with no chance at redemption

  2. Instant transfer into a menace zone seems a harsher outcome than the loss of progress suffered in the old system when failing in a crisis.

So while I never actually suffered that progress loss in the old system or died yet in the new, I guess I can see how this may be a fair bit more punishing.
