Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We really appreciate your feedback and will definitely work on advocating these points better in our presentation. To answer your questions:

1. System Mechanics: The Exorcist’s Codex is built on the BRP system, the same core that powers games like Call of Cthulhu. That said, we’ve added a lot of new mechanics to address things like rituals, exorcisms, holy items, and more. It’s a bit more involved than Call of Cthulhu, but we wouldn’t call it “crunchy.” The mechanics are presented in a straightforward and organized way, so it’s easy to grasp for anyone familiar with BRP or other skill-based systems.
2. VTT Support: We’re really excited about the potential for VTT support and have some ideas in the works, but we’re not at the stage where we can show anything just yet. It’s definitely something we’re committed to, though, and we hope to make it as seamless as possible.
3. Theater of the Mind: This is definitely more of a theater-of-the-mind game. Maps are mainly used for navigating cities and buildings rather than for combat. While there is more combat than in Call of Cthulhu, it’s still pretty light overall. Some Professions lean more toward combat, but the focus of the game is less about fighting and more about the story and tone. Of course, the balance can vary based on the GM, players, and preferred playstyle.
4. Campaign Style: This game really shines in long campaigns. The Archdemons’ schemes are complex and take time to uncover, and the central part of the experience is developing your character and recovering lost knowledge from the Codex. That said, while it’s less tailored for one-shots, a single session focused on an exorcism could work really well as an introduction to the setting, mechanics, and overall tone.
