Really great project. I can't wait to use it with new players.

Really? That's awesome! Please say hi to the guys for me...big fan of the podcast. 😊 The Crawling Die was a fantastic hack in particular.
Honestly, I have not had the chance to GM a game of SD yet. I have my campaign ready to go, but I can't seem to get my players onboard the idea yet.

Thanks. Yeah, on my blog post I mention that the guys over at the Dungeon Master Diaries podcast were the primary source of inspiration. They have play tested them well so I know they won't break anything.

Sundered Shields is an OSR House Rule that's been floating around the blogosphere for many years. I use it in my OSE and 5e games as well: thecastellanscorner.blogspot.com/2015/11/bx-o...

Hi Bob. Just saw this post. Longtime Linux advocate and user, but I got to tell you that Linux on laptops can be a real mixed bag. I suggest leaving Win11 on it, and if you really want to experiment, dual boot it with Mint of some other Distro. Linus as a daily driver on most hardware is risky.
