I cannot disagree with your alignments, although I think that English is Chaotic Good - it's such a mess, but it's a lovely little mess of a language. For every rule, there are a hundred exceptions to that rule. Study hall is completely chaotic neutral. And I do think that there is some potential of Resolute as a card game, but I'm not sure where to go yet... although the idea of making it solitaire definitely opens up more possibilities. I want there to be meaningful choices as you play, and cards can be pretty random. You'd need to have options as you go forward. Maybe drawing from multiple piles? Hmmm.

I'm partial to St. Patrick's Day though. <br /><br />3. I can really see the card game roots in this when you talk about followers of Odysseus. I'd still be interested to see how the mechanics would work for a card game.<br /><br />4. My take on a few alignments...<br /><br />English: Neutral to Neutral good. <br />English Grammer: Lawful Evil. <br />Study Hall: Chaotic Neutral. <br />Detention: Lawful Neutral.

My doctors are very happy with how I'm holding up so far... two weeks and two days left. :)<br /><br />I do like how Resolute has to fundamentally alter how I view some fundamental concepts. I'm leveraging my reading of the Odyssey here as much as I am anything I've done with game design before.Dr. Mike Desinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826501692186095437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3922722966649601130.post-14721216668943264742022-03-16T14:25:22.450-04:002022-03-16T14:25:22.450-04:00First of all, it's great to hear that you are ...First of all, it's great to hear that you are holding up well! Hopefully, you'll be out of the laser-dome with good results soon! Second, the "Followers" idea sounds like a great fit for "Resolute." It keeps things fast and simple, allows the followers to make a difference, but keeps the focus on the one Hero, which a solo game should do!
