As far as open ended designs go, I think this is actually quite a good framework for outlining an adventure. You give the important touch points and then provide a large canvas to fill in. Nice work!
I also enjoyed the list of things that happen on the front cover. It's visceral and makes me want to know more.
Thanks. It took me a while to come up with something original. My first thought was a treasure hunt since I had the word fortune. But I wanted to make something a little different which turned into something more prophetic. The list on the front cover was one of the first things I wrote down after coming up with the overall idea.
