I could possibly see it viewed that way, but I see it as potentially overpowered. Aside from being an Elder, you do have access to the ceremonial mask that allows for meta wishes and requests, that you haven't used yet.

You can actually see what might have happened just this turn if you wernt around, before I corrected to count your extra roll.

I would much rather it be when I use the ceremonial mask instead of asking a question get a bonus. Because I will almost never remember to ask a question or never can think of just one. Again not complaining just giving some feedback/constructive criticism. I do know how hard it is to balance things, having made may a game(some of which were nowhere near balanced).

I know some other hosts are different, but for me when you give feedback publicly, you are challenging me to justify the game all the other people are playing. Something I can do because I made it. But if you really want to give me feedback in a way I will actually be receptive to it. Discuss it in PM, or even better at the end of the game, when I am thinking about how things might be changed from the ground up if I host similar games some day.

The ceremony can be used for a question or a prayer/request. And it would be pretty powerful if you delegated what actions you'd be willing to give the extra roll to...
When 0cra_Troper was The Crafter, they never even crafted, but TricMagic has made a spear and a basket that has a big effect on turn outcomes, and you can see the difference between using a role's potential, versus not.

10 Turns Survived
5 Turns Until End of Winter
Start of Winter


The Eye of Wrath is a cloudy memory. No immigrants from other Tribes have come, and The Tribe is down to just three. Less mouths to feed, but less room for mistakes.

As the bad weather rages outside the cave, The Elder imparts some wisdom before The Hunter heads out with a basket.

As The Elder lays back down, The Nomad begins to toil on a new crafting project: preserving food with cold. They begin by gather up 3 Spoiled Meat, and the Rodent Carcass...


The Hunter decides to stay close to the cave, only searching in the Home Territory for fruit. They hold one arm in front of their eyes in the blizzard, while they grip the basket close to prevent it from blowing away as they make tracks forward...




Dubious Cold Food Storage Learned: Well, maybe some of this will stay fresh? The Nomad has dug out a hole in the ground and packed it with two layers of snow, with a layer of some items in the middle...It should stay cold enough, but the food will get soggy, it may even become poisonous if not used this night. It was worth a shot?



The Hunter's eyes are full of tears as every glance about is punished by a harsh lashing of the wind...but. They just don't see anything. It's getting dark. They head back.


Hunger Phase: Start of Winter Feast Preparations

As the others look up to see The Hunter returning, they overturn their basket. Only snow falls out. Nothing.


The Nomad is getting very hungry.
The Hunter is practically starving.
The Elder is practically starving.





Hunger Phase has begun! It will go until ~3:00PM Pacific Wednesday
(mod extension by 48 hours if some players have not eaten yet)

KitRougard it was my belief you were choosing not to eat, but if that not the case, just do so in the next couple hours. Food spoils and spoiled food rots away next phase...

(others may act aswell)

(Correct, I recognize that Very Hungry is an acceptable place to be, because I'm not catching any malus yet.)

(Good job, me, for some reason I thought that both / and // were "No malus". Ah, well, I deserve a -1 for forgetting that I can at least keep myself fed by pulling suspiciously fresh meat from my hammer space back pocket)

Winters hard enough already, so don't beat yourself up about it. I was pretty much expecting to extend anyway.

After the between season intermission I'd like to ramp up the end slowly. I'll allow you to vote to shorten if you want to, or you can wait the full time.

I'll set it to 2 votes to shorten, since it seemed like things were nearly wrapped up.
