Would love to hear about inspiration games for this. I really like the simple 'use a trait, roll full stat' system - is that from Fate? 

Just found your "Describe to Survive" system from Deep Dark https://wolfwyzard.itch.io/the-deep-dark and it's SUPER cool.

Thanks so much!

MANY influences on this one. So many I need to add it to the description!

Thanks so much, I really have to read Burning Wheel and Torchbearer!

I think there's a typo under THE ROLL at the end of the first sentence, should it be "...half your Health or Will if you don't." ?

hey! Yes instead of “of” it should read “or”. Good catch!
