More than ten. Up to ten is safe, but more than ten or more than two bulky items (even with less than ten full slots), makes you overburdened with 0 HP.

I do not currently have any revised tables that represent the removal of numerical values for occasional results. That said, I recommend simply replacing any STAT+/-1 results with narrative results, like gaining a new keyword or interacting with an NPC or taking a risk (perhaps a 2d6 vs 7/9 throw) to determine an interesting outcome.
Bendu had 3 HP remaining, so the result of 3 (highest among 1, 1, and 3 as all are rolled together and take the highest to "gang up" on him) applies to him. 3 HP with 3 damage = 0 HP, so we roll on the impact table given the blow. The "he's safe" aspect refers to him absorbing all incoming damage to his HP, as anything beyond that would go to his STR score, which would trigger a critical damage save. Failing that, he'd be down for the count until rescued.
In short, any time your HP is reduced to exactly 0 from a damaging attack, you roll for the impact.
Thanks for the kind words! Useability was my primary goal. Keep it fast and simple.
The Doomsayer is quite narrative. It's up to the discretion of the table and the context. The intent is to lean into the self-fulfilling prophecy concept and especially when used alongside elaborate plans or dire intimidation.

WEIRD NORTH is a role-playing game for one referee and a handful of players. Players take control of wandering sellswords and adventurers, exploring a huge and curious world in order to claim great wealth, expand their renown, and achieve personal goals.
The game is modeled from Chris McDowall's Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland, but heavily flavored with pulp fantasy, serpent magic, corrupting sorcery, various Trees of Woe, and more. Fatigue and corruption are key changes from the original game, and make expeditions into the unknown exceptionally dangerous and exciting.

Any Planet Is Earth is a set of sandbox guidelines for creating a near/far future adventure campaign. With an emphasis on realism, lateral thinking, and simple rules, players will seek jobs, bounties, trade, and rumors, accept death, and try to leave their mark on the starscape which naturally emerges from details, dilemmas, and decisions. The game takes its inspiration from Marc Miller's Classic Traveller, Chris McDowall's Into the Odd, and Ambrosia Software's Escape Velocity series.
At only six pages, the game zeroes in on focused tools to help both players and referee indulge and expand upon the context of the game world and twenty-three 36-result tables to generate NPCs, worlds, crises, trade goods, conspiracies, and myriad other decision points. The game features four pages of rules, including character creation across military, expeditionary, and mercantile career paths, conflict, trade, starships, interstellar travel, and referee resources, as well as two full pages of random tables for quick and interesting content creation.
The game itself is played simply with 2d6 rolls for players, but the emphasis on critical thinking and leveraging the game environment at any given time pushes the players and referee both to lean into the context of the game world and treat it like a real place. Description first, abstraction second. Everyone at the table drives forward to promote emergent narrative and unexpected twists.
In addition to the rules download you'll also get a single-page spread including a character creation walkthrough, example pregen characters, and example pregen starships and crew loadouts.
