Hi! I bought a physical copy thru kickstarter, and I'm about to run a game of this. however I cannot for the life of me figure out what Omen score is for. Any help?
hey there! The Omen score is in some ways a shifting difficulty class score for each character. If a PC has an omen of 55 and they roll 30, they succeed on their roll and their omen score becomes 30. The next time they roll they would be going for under 30, so if they rolled an 89 they would fail, but their omen would become 89, giving them a pretty good chance at success next time. Repeat forever.
A heads up: the game’s byline says “a solo game about the end of a life” but the first part of the game description on the actual page says “2-5 players // GMed”

Hopefully that helps a little bit!
