Ooh, I like it.. Thank you!! 

Hey, this looks super fun and I can't wait to run it! 

I have a question about the Standing Stone encounter. If someone smashes it, they "gain a single re-roll of any die for the next month". Does that mean a single re-roll at most once in the next month? Or, every time they roll for something in the next month, they have the option to re-roll a die once? 

The latter could be OP, but... Maybe we make it worth it by cranking up the forest's ire... :-)

Thanks! 

Perfect, thanks!  I will join the Discord :)

Hi! This game looks awesome. I'm a noob to OSR games (and I'm no expert on TTRPGs in general), and picked this one to GM with my kids, after reading about a few. I'm trying to grasp everything before we start, and am thinking about this situation:

Let's say my kid rolls a 1 for starting HP.  That will always be their max HP, right? (i.e. after every short rest they only refill back to 1 HP.)  So, let's say a monster hits them for 2, and maybe they have a little armor or maybe not.. They are going to be taking a lot of scars and/or STR reduction, right?  It seems a bit rough, and has me wondering if I should just let them start with 5-6 HP.  But I'm probably missing something, maybe something implied from the ItO rules, or OSRs in general...?

Thanks for any tips! I'm stoked to play.

(Edit -- I looked at the rules a little more, and looked up some things about ItO, and.. I guess losing STR is just ok, and you'll want to find a healer in a town at some point soon if you get too low. I think that is good flavor that we can live with. Better than dying at 0HP, heh. Still interested in any thoughts, thanks!)

(2nd Edit -- I just saw that you reroll HP when you get a scar!  ok!  this is excellent.)

Hi, this looks really good! Can you explain damage rolls? Do different character classes have different base damage, or do you just roll what the weapon says (e.g. 1d6 for light weapon, plus any ability mods like Backstab)?

Thank you :)
