It was a long while, but I have tinkered enough with the ruleset to be nearly satisfied with it. The splatbook with extra classes is still coming, and the 0.1 version of it should release very soon - so stay tuned up!


Improved formatting
The formatting has been changed, with the most notable change being the thinner and symmetric margins. Large margins were constraining on such a small page size, while symmetry is much nicer if using the digital version of the rulebook.
Added encumbrance rules
Hilariously, I forgot to add even the most basic encumbrance rules until now. The rules set as now are more akin to guidelines and safety net against "clever" adventurers who think they can carry an entire dragon's hoard in their backpack.
Reworked the death rules
The three death saves were a bit... boring. With some magical healing at higher levels death isn't nearly as threatening as it should be, and the risk of instant death should still be there. The new system actively penalizes toying with death, and gives a very understandable chance of survival. It is also very easy to tinker with, if GM wishes for less lethal gameplay.
Death and Dismemberment optional rule
An optional, more complex variant of the death save is also introduced. The Death and Dismemberment table is inspired by many other OSR tables like this, and of course the classics like WFRP and Rolemaster. While the adventurers may easily live longer under this system, in practice they may be forced to retire way faster than they normally would want to.
