Great use of RPGMaker and really solid gameplay loop! The UI was also easy to understand as well. I liked how starting out from the tavern let you learn a little about the characters/motivations. The weight between the choices during the adventures were also interesting but I do wish I had a little more hint/idea about how my character fits the needs of those specific runs. Regardless though, it's just fun! I'm starting up my second run though right after I leave this comment!
