I'm very excited for this! I'm thinking of making a game based on my experience with BPD.

Hey! When I read the premise, the first thing I thought of was tying my game into the April version of the Eternal TTRPG Jam. If I did, I would want my words to be Storms & Fools, to fit the theme of the jam. But since those words weren't randomly generated, I wanted to check if that would be ok first.
The 1.1 version is much easier to read now; I appreciate the better contrast! I like the example encounters you made; it really helps clarify the mechanics. Just to be clear, the degrading mental faculties are the 8 in the table, correct? It would help if the pages were numbered so you could say exactly what page they're on.
In the original PDF, the dark pink bg with light pink text is very hard to read; there's not enough contrast. The accessible PDF is much appreciated for that reason.
Aside from that, a page saying how many players are needed & what items are needed to play the game, along with setup, would really help clarify things. I'm also a bit confused about the game mechanics and the possible setting(s). What are "active mental states"? Why would I roll for something like heart rate?
The bones of a great game are here, but it doesn't feel fully fleshed out yet. I look forward to seeing more of this!
I ran this game multiple times when I was in some mental healthcare facilities--it really brought out a creative side of people that you didn't always get to see there. Now I'm going to be running it for a little TTRPG event, and I'm so excited!
Update: The TTRPG event (Dreamation) went really well! People loved the game and were very immersed. They also liked my homebrew ending, which was nice to see! I love this game and am grateful that it exists!
Hello! Wanted to let you know that we've made a sequel! https://norbez.itch.io/to-train-a-killer-last-winter I'd love it if you could check it out, if you have the time! No pressure though.
