Baron's Hero's Journey aims to create an experience as close as you can get to a single-player rpg experience in the bounds of the free enterprise randomizer, creating themed flagsets that have the protagonist face challenges and objectives that are themed to their character, or story in Final Fantasy Four. Most of the flagsets will have nodupes and permajoin to recreate that feeling of “classic rpg party” in which the characters become friends and grow and tackle the challenges together as a team. But one way or the other, all flagsets have been balanced to try and give a full experience under two hours on average.
The flagsets have been rated from one star to ten stars in order to show the intended difficulty, where a full ten stars is something closer to ZZ4 in difficulty. Every character will have a meta objective that the racers must try to meet to the best of their ability to keep the competitive integrity of the race. Some might be flavorful, but some might change how the entire game is played! The racers that meet these objectives, in order of first, second, and third, will get to pick the character for next week! But they can't pick characters two weeks in a row. The day flagsets are announced, an async will be opened for a week so people that can't make the race time can experience the flagset and/or get some practice in for the live race. Only the live race will count towards your club points.
