thanks for the specific feedback. One save a round seemed too brutal so I went to two, but someone else pointed out it's just one save with advantage which seems more elegant so I'll probably switch it to that.
I'm going to give the writing a once-over after judging so I'll look at a lot of what you've mentioned here. Thanks! I also would like more random encounters but unfortunately I don't know how to fit any more text in this thing :')
