## Directory Notes

Classic dungeon-crawl vibes distilled to essentials—adventurers, hazards, treasure, and creative problem-solving. It’s setting-agnostic and thrives on prompts rather than canon.

## Theme and Setting

Resolve risky actions with 2d6 + attribute: 10+ full success, 7–9 mixed, 6- miss. HP comes from rolling hit dice and keeping dice equal to level.

## How Play Feels

Armor subtracts damage. Magic and monsters are intentionally under-specified to encourage rulings and hacks.

## What Makes It Distinct

A true “rules sketch”: minimal procedures that invite table judgment. It runs fast, converts OSR content on the fly, and teaches play through conversation rather than rule lookups.

## Where It May Not Fit

You want denser mechanical crunch or build complexity You want combat and action to drive most of the session.
