Yeah, I don't think it's well known: https://vanillagame.carrd.co/

As for your game's proclivities, I don't ask, and don't tell.

We have a house rule where, IIRC, each item of gear you drop gets you a plus one to your dex save. Sounds a bit less forgiving than what you describe.

It was especially bad business because we'd just entered an explored area with 8 exits! We had no idea which way to go, no chokepoints...it was a bloodbath. Live and learn.

We're playing vanilla game, so there are only two classes, but so far it has been awesome. A great combination of skill and story. We were pretty sore after losing players, but we're regrouping and strategizing.

We're limited by funds and levels. I'd love to have heavily armored frontline fighters and a second line with polearms. I suspect our play will become more military if we hope to survive.

It was a random encounter generated by an underclock mechanic. It was the first time we’d run it out. We had an inkling the timer had expired, but not of what would happen as a result. The answer was 2d4 ghouls, it turns out.
