- Character generation is fast and flexible — three stats of SKILL, STAMINA, and LUCK, and an open-ended skills system.
- No more Vancian magic! Players memorise the spells they want their characters to cast.

You might want to remove the d6^ and d6v references in the monsters list, since they don't refer to anything anymore, as per your dev log.
Great game, best post-Fighting Fantasy game I've seen! I love that someone made use of the Sorcery! spellcasting system.
I knew I must have missed them somewhere! Thanks for the note ─ I’ll pare them out with the next update pass.
Thanks for the kind words too :))
This is the best riff of Fighting Fantasy I’ve seen. Great stuff.
Incredible game! I love the quirky, odd mechanics and the subtle worldbuilding tools. The balancing of characters is also really well done!
Thanks a lot!
I dig this! I am just curious, when special skill points and luck are spent, is the only way to recover them through advancement?
Thanks! :)
I mostly run it that your pools recover after you’ve had a good night’s sleep in a good bed, but…
I could very much see a gritty version where you can only regain them through advancement!
Ahh I see!
I was a little curious about it since I couldn't find it outlined in the rules anywhere, I'm guessing its a left to your discretion type thing then, neat!
