I like the idea, but I have some questions about the rules. For one, funds aren't explained at all. How do you get funds, and how do you use funds? Additionally, how does NPC voting work in class trials? Does the GM just vote in the stead of the NPCs? That seems a bit problematic considering that it's a majority vote, and the NPCs will pretty much hold the majority.
Hi! thanks for the questions. Here’s some feedback on them:-Funds are talked about loosely on page 12! They are an optional currency for if you want to bring in the randomized gift dispenser the DR games are known for. They are given in post trial, and should probably allow for only 1-3 gifts per arc, so to speak. If you don’t plan to have any from of means to buy gifts, however, then funds do not need to be recorded. -NPC voting is something Cecil and I have thought about for a bit, actually! It’ll be explored in a future update(!), but for now, remember that the player has just as much control about how the NPCs vote that a GM does -- after all, trials are all about convincing people to your side, and the DR protagonists certainly didn’t have the odds in their favor when the trial first begins! By the end, however, the NPCS should generally be voting in the player’s best interest -- sans the culprit, of course.I hope these help! We’re hoping to expend on several things (not just these questions) in a future update as well, so look forward to it! ‘v’)/
