Absolutely agree with everything here.
I am intentionally being critical so we have something to talk about. As I said above, I enjoyed the game and would be happy with the campaign if every session goes as well, although I will probably get pretty frustrated if I have to spend an hour every session watching a condition track bounce back and forth for an hour and then spending another hour trying to talk the other players into going along with the adventure.
Brian made the sailing mini-game on the drive over and admits he didn't think it through, so that's perfectly understandable.
