Proposal: Ope, there goes gravity

Reword the step in the rule “Richardo’s Journey” that reads “Secretly randomly select a Lit room that is orthogonally adjacent to his current room and change his location to be that room” to read:

  • Secretly randomly select a Lit room that is orthogonally adjacent to his current room and change his location to be that room; if there are no such valid rooms, then instead, secretly randomly select a Lit room that is diagonally adjacent to his current room and change his location to be that room

doesn’t really thematically make sense (how does he get there). and seems a bit unlikely that this’ll even come up.

Is it unlikely? The Gravity Room would only need to have the word “east” changed to “west” in order to trap Richardo and break the algorithm. Thematically, I just imagine Richardo squeezing through a narrow gap between rooms, after an exit is blocked behind him.

for This could easily happen as a consequence of a Sepulchre collapsing, and it seems like a sensible way to resolve the situation.

against seems a bit unfair to jumble. Fine with teleporting him somewhere random though.

actually this doesn’t directly put Jumble in danger because that room has an exit. so its probably fine. Still think teleporting random is better for

against sepulchres dont collapse until the crypt settles, & richardo can skip steps if he gets stuck

against Yes, skipping steps was added to address exactly this. If Richardo becomes unable to move from his current location, he can skip his moves until he runs out of Energy.
