Hi Chaoclypse,

Which table do you use for your characters' backgrounds? Also, do you have a previous version with the effects of critical hits and fumbles?

Thank you!

Heya, there are a bunch of tables that exist for that - Knave, Maze Rats and FORGE are ones that come to mind! 

In terms of a previous version, I do not, unfortunately, but it was pretty simple - fumble on double 1's and damage rolled twice then summed on double 6's.

Thank you. Which one did you use for the example characters in the video?

I also decided to go full "d6" and use 2d6 for saves. TN of 10 for "normal men", lvl 1 clerics and magic users, TN of 9 for lvl 1 Fighters and Thieves, decrease that TN by 1 at even levels. I know you don't use attributes, but I use them and add their bonus (-1 to +1) to the roll for appropriate saves.

As for critical hits, I'll use the following: Against living opponents, edged weapons deal double damage and blunt weapons stun them for 1 round.

Heya, I can't remember which I used for the video unfortunately :(

The saves being 2d6 sounds great. I would actually recommend looking into Age of Conan by Jason Vey for a similar system! https://grey-elf.com/hyborian-age.pdf (Page 37)

Thank you for the recommendation. I just read it, but I still prefer my (very simple) system above, which works as well for attribute checks and "thieves" skills (which can actually be attempted by anybody, thieves just get a bonus).
