I tried it, and it takes an unreasonable amount of clicks to get to sleep at the inn.
to skip 1 time slot I need to click:
esc, enter, up, enter, enter, enter, enter

I need to repeat this entire process 3 times in a row to go from morning to night before the inn keeper will allow me to go to sleep... this is unreasonable.

There needs to be a quicker way to pass time, like a 1 click button next to the time indicator. (I know RPGM can do that because I saw it in other games)

Additionally, the inn keeper should let you go to sleep in the morning. this should result in it automatically passing time until night and then going to sleep instead of making you manually do it via the aforementioned sequence.
We're already aware of the deck of cards problem in the v1.01 and it has been fixed in v1.03 too (like the easy quest).
Due to the fact that this modification took a ridiculous amount of time we decided to not update older versions because it would stop the production of the next versions. In v1.03 it asks you what time of day you want to reach and lets you skip directly to the next day too.

Never thought of an on-screen click to pass the time, to be honest, I'll consider it for future versions but I think it'll take time to implement correctly.

For the innkeeper, it was a mere lore-friendly choice. Surely it can be done, but I think that the new deck of cards interaction will make up for it

My main quest is stuck on:
"Begin your Adventure"
which happened after I recruited the cleric to the party. (so i have MC, cleric, and wizard).

I tried going into the tower, I tried finishing a medium quest. neither counts as beginning my adventure. so what am I supposed to actually do?
also I killed several monsters and got 0 XP.
The main quest is pretty generic until you reach some important steps of the main story, look in the quest journal if you have something else to do and use "Set Active"

For the exp, you don't get exp by killing monsters but only by killing bosses or doing "difficult things", so the common mobs are not giving you exp. That's by design, we're not into grinding for exp and most common mobs encounter are easily avoidable.
That's not explained in the tutorial too but it's explained in a lore-friendly way by Elild and the girl of the Adventurer's Guild in Thalvefell.
I can rework the dialogues if it's not clear, tho

Right, maybe I am missing something here, but I can't see how the hell you can survive the dungeon if you are unable to level up on the way up.

I've been forced to enter kill one, exit, kill the same mob non stop, just to get money and buy equipment.
As for the barmaid, I've been trying to get that quest done, I tried sleeping, passing time, exiting the map, exiting the game, she's never heard of that food box.

Been at it for over an hour, my stats have not changed due to how the leveling works, meaning, so far, I've done more work than I usually would to reach L2 in virtually any other game. I'm still as weak as when I began playing, and still can't figure out how to progress in the dungeon while being so weak...

I'm not convinced by the design choices there I'm afraid.

If you look at the board in the Adventurer's Guild they give you an Hard quest to kill a Goblin Captain in a cave near Thalvefell.
If you kill the Gob, you level up to 2 and the Dungeon should be easier

!rst quest I try is the easy one, get food from tavern barmaid in Thalvefell and bring to the gardener. I ask the barmaid, all I get that is close is 'About the package'. She has no package. Do I buy simple rations?

Simple rations does not work. This game needs some work.

they have said already 20 times that the quest is actually broken and it's fixed in 1.03, here you have 1.01. all you have to do is read other posts, it's not difficult at all.
5 pages and always the same 3 questions because no one has 5 seconds to read, but you have 5 seconds to whine, don't you?

Hi everybody, we want say thank you for all your feedbacks!

I want to emphasize that your help is really appreciated and we figured out that it need more guidelines inside the game for make you all be able to understand how the system works more easily.

We are currently working on something that will be released but it will require time OFC:D.

In the meanwhile i suggest you all to join our discord server to stay more in contact with us.

Thank you again and see you soon!

D&D has a built in system wherein XP scales to the difficulty of the encounter.
This allows you to get a couple of early levels so that the level 1 gnolls are not 1 hit KOing your cleric every battle. (like they are in this game)
But at the same time makes it onerous to just grind level 1 enemies to reach level 20.
Hugely nerfing D&D XP gains results in a much more grindy game. Which in turn sours the user experience.

Also, D&D is very vast and very complex, and also hugely popular.
So if you want to implement D&D in RPGM you are going to be spending the vast majority of your effort on it rather than on the actual game, and it shows.

Honestly if you want D&D on RPGM then making an open source RPGM scripting package designed for D&D not associated with porn could very well garner decent amount of user contributions both in code and in finances.
Make your game family friendly and use it as the flagship for showcasing your D&D on RPGM implementation.
Just make sure you are using the open gaming portions and not the proprietary stuff.

I'm pretty satisfied with the new combat. I bought a breastplate 4 armor and gave it to Elild, now she's almost impossible to hit

I've reached lvl3 entered the Cawic City affected by some plaque, got a cut scene with Mr Blue he offers the three gifts if they can find the source, it is in the purple dungeon to the North West corner. I couldn't beat the boulder monster, or whatever the fuck that thing is. Make sure the MC's perception is high enough go into the Cawic Adventure Guild you should see a colored circle in the center of the building, if your perception is high enough you should get a dialog box saying somethings hidden under the countertop, go behind the counter and search to your left there's a hidden lever it opens a trapped door go down and defeat (what I think is) a female orc, after defeating her leave and you should meet the female demon responsible for the 'plaque', Mr. Blue (Dusas) appears and stops her from attacking the MC's team. The plaque is gone, it's just an abandoned city now. (SIDE NOTE: Go into the INN/PUB you'll see an envelope sitting on the floor choose 'read it' its the 'Pen Pal'. Return the letter to the female and both quests are done.

However I did find out something else while in Nulbadin go into the Inn and talk to the few people in there one is a bounty Hunter named Mr Grimm. He asks you to keep an eye out for a wanted thief. I also found a "Beach" that allows you to advance the time into the night (also a few CG pics). While its nighttime go back into the Nulbadin, go to the INN to sleep you get attacked by the Thief, a very short lived combat ensues and Mr. Grimm comes out and thanks the MC's party for finding him. After some dialog he suggests you visit him at his camp site. (Also remember you have the deck of cards, found in 'Key Items' and you should have a sleeping roll (or bag). That can advance the time as well.

To be honest the game should have a walkthorugh, since the only quest your made aware of is the Dungeon and the bulletin board at the Adventures Guild. In fairness any RPG game always requires the player to find quests, talking to any and all NPC's outside and in buildings (well the buildings your allowed to enter).

After you get all three Guild quests completed there's a women standing outside who concerned about her Pen Pal, she asks you to find out whats going on. I believe you can only do this once you reach lvl3 (since I tried a handful of times to enter the Cawic City only to be told I need to be at lvl3.

As far as the food delivery, I was able to advance the time into evening/late afternoon by using the sleeping bag, went to the INN and got the package. I tried to this during the daytime or morning but the INN keeper said she had no idea what I was talking about. So you may also want to do the Medium and Hard missions before trying to talk to the INN Keeper. This appears to be a repeatable quest you can keep doing which can help you to build up more gold/money.

Something else if you want to gain extra lvl's, once you take care of the Thief go to Mr. Grimm's camp he'll sell you some interesting potions, one is a purple poison . I went to the Dungeon to face the second Boss, after beating him, he re-spawns and you can face him again, I went from lvl 3 to lvl7. I was using the purple poison on the Boss and his trolls.

As far as the boulder monster in Cawic I built my XP lvl to 7 bought the purple poison from Mr.Grimm and kept throwing those at him I was able to defeat him.

After the MC gets to level 5 he can now take 2 attack turns before the girls get their turn.

I'm actually stuck not being able to enter Cawic city and seemingly having nothing else to do (Hidden camp guys want me to meet someone in closed city (do I have to burn gold in inns for couple of days? How many?)) with every other path blocked. Fyi I cleared only level 5 in 1st dungeon.

Oh, also the arcana check on the right of Nulbadin always fails with 0 and the one above hidden camp is unclickable for me.

Cawic you need to be at level 3 XP, also, the first city you appeared (sorry terrible at remembering names) in if you've done the medium and hard Adventure guild quests and made it past the 1st dungeon boss you should be at level 3. In the same city there's a lone women standing in front of one of the shops (along the tree line) she says about a Pen Pal of hers has not responded, she says he lives in Cawic city, he usually hangs out at the PUB/INN. But as you saw the city is crawling with zombies.

When you do enter the city Mr.blue shows up at the entrance and explains to the MC he needs to find the source of the plaque (the MC has no choice since he has been dubbed a Hero).
