They typically cost ~1000gp per session and restore at least 50-60 stress, so you're never going to need to use them more than once in a row on a single character I think it would be better if they cost ~250gp and restored 15-25 stress, since that would make it more of a situational/maintenance tool instead of 'is the character about to break? if yes, send him to the temple or bar. In the dungeon, the sanity mechanic tends to be way too binary (either everyone is totally stressed out because of critical hits and morale-based attacks inflicting, in some cases, 15-20 stress per hit to the entire party or they're all completely cool because you've got a jester hanging out in back and spending all his actions on singing to reduce stress) and, when you get back to town, the stress-relief activities are high-cost for usually-overkill benefits. I didn't get quite what I was looking for. I kickstarted it because I loved the concept - herding a team of misfits and ne'er-do-wells into danger and trying to hold them together while their minds and personalities slowly fragmented.

Yeah, I've got about a dozen hours in Darkest Dungeons.
