Just fantastic! Are there license terms?
Very nice, I like it a lot, especially the fact it's so condensed! And as a matter of a very minor criticism: did you consider by any chance changing the font of the initial letters? The ornate font you chose is very nice but sometimes a little bit illegible and I guess the intent of this bigger initial letter is to ease the navigation inside this book, isn't it?
Thanks! I decided to use the same titling font that Ben Milton does for Knave 1e. Although each letter itself might be hard to read at first, one should be able to look at the context of the other listings and figure it out.
Thanks for the context, I was not aware that it was Knave's font!
I love this! What's the unarmored AC for the OSR version?
I believe unarmoured would be 11. I used Knave's rule to convert ad&d (subtract descending AC from 20) and b/x (subtract descending AC from 19).
And thanks! Hope it gets lots of use.
Adorei esse material, ma dou bem.
Very cool, almost perfect. Its killing me that the Armour Class is AR and not AC though! Otherwise brilliant work.
Thanks, I'm updating some files and will change it to AC. AR was some weird holdover from another creature format I was using.
Amazing!
