## Directory Notes

Tone is grounded, lethal, and a bit surreal. Resolution uses quick d20 saves; attacks go straight to damage, so positioning and risk matter.

## Theme and Setting

Characters are classless; gear, scars, and odd finds shape capability. Encumbrance and turn procedures press time, light, and supply.

## How Play Feels

Magic enters the fiction through oddities rather than exhaustive lists, encouraging rulings over rules. Speed and clarity: no to‑hit step, damage is decisive, and oddities act like puzzling tools that reward experimentation.
