the download includes all the .md files for the documents, as well as the html versions. if you spend some time getting used to pandoc you could very quickly make a pdf that combines all of them! some people have also had good experiences importing the content into obsidian.

when i've run it magic is mostly discovered by doing work for existing magic users, or learning it from any of the grimoires found. there is also the possibility of learning some magic from one of the demon-faced coins.
i've heard some tables leave the spell lists accessible to the players so they are instead actively seeking the ingredients rather the knowledge of the spells. personally i prefer having it all hidden, but you know your table best.
similarly, i'd shy away from starting with knowledge of magic but as above - you know your table best.

These are just the ones off the top of my head - I keep a list of everything I've read since some point in 2021, you can see it here
Use the more specific weather (i.e. the inland table) if you feel like they are conflicting. The naval weather table covers all of the sea, and acts as more of a fall-back or addition to the in-land specific tables. If the players manage to sail out from the under the storm, they might find the light breeze prevailing upon the ocean - or it is more of a rainstorm, meaning weak winds.
1) Yes this is the intention.
2) That would depend on the specific situation - any one of the suggestions you made could work. Wrestling an enemy down might mean a STR check (using the sliding difficulty depending on the size of the foe) whereas a weapon leg sweep might be roll-to-hit followed by a Dodge Save. Part of the system's design is giving you multiple points to use to adjudicate situations as you see fit.
3) Correct, although this was expanded on a little in the April update - make sure that's the file you're working from.
4) The chances are in the Magic book, updated very recently - make sure you're working from the most recent update.
They can be used in the OD&D alternative combat matrix.
The penalty is applied to attacks against the one wearing the armour - this is done for systems (such as Wolves Upon the Coast) where AC is never modified due to being used in multiple rules. If your game of choice only uses AC for protection, you're fine to use the 'normal' statistics and ignore those in italics.
You can get it alongside a number of other creations also using Violence here.
You also get a sticker.
Please post any errors in the text in this thread for correction - and to make sure they've not already been called out.
Please do not feel any requirement to post here - this is simply so there is a single place for those who want to call out errors, not a solicitation for unpaid labour.
