This is MONEY. Nicely done.

The bad habits are pretty harsh. I could see them taking up some time.

So excited for this. Looks like it's going to be a hit.

Love the old school gritty feel to this. The heroes feel special, but very mortal in a dangerous world.

Totally want to run this, looks wicked as hell.

I'm loving the read and love the Omen idea. I can't wait to play this.

This is a work of art but I have to tell you there are some spelling errors in it. I cant wait to get the rest to play. I love the idea of rolling for weapons, armor and even scrolls for spells and more. I am 100% onboard with this new stylr.

I love the Improvement part of it

Oh yeah, it's rough AF. I haven't sent it to proofers yet, so I'm relying on Grammarly. If you see any, lemme know on Discord

That's a gimmick from MorkBorg that I love. In the horror game I was working on, I was hoping to make it so everyone pooled together.

Yeah, it's cool. Growth slows down the better you get. Also stolen from MorkBorg

Looks great so far! Made a character already! As soon as we get some monsters I'm ready to rock and roll with this thing!

I actually have 20 of them already in a spreadsheet. I need to go through the MM and decide which stuff from 5e I wanna carry over.
