A gimmick that I picked up from researching old Arneson games, history, and visiting ArneCon is that he used GUTS instead of Hit Points. I now use it in MANY of my TTRPG designs as well. Occasionally, I find it in other designer’s games as well.
I like that idea! Do you have a url for where this was discussed, I’m curious to learn more about how he used this.
