I still have a few questions.

1) Can you retreat from a fight? If so, is there a penalty? And do the enemies restore to full health and original number when you return to the room?

2) Can you recover in a Safe Space as many times as you want during a level? I assume yes.

3) Potion of Keen, +1 to one Wizard Weapon. What is a Wizard Weapon? Are the wizard hats and robes weapons?

4) Do items stack? Can I have two hats, three shields, and have the bonuses for all at once?

5) The way the monster table is set up, you get 1 XP from killing a dragon and 6 XP from a room with no monsters (plus the other dice, of course). Is this intentional?

6) Oil of sharpness, "One weapon explodes 1 better". I don't understand what this means. I understand the concept of exploding, as in the exploding 6s, but I don't understand what this oil does.

7) Spellbook: 1d6, T#7+spell pip? It's not possible to roll higher than 6 on 1d6, so how...See more

1) I don't have rules for retreating, or sneaking. That is somewhat simulated by placing your monster dice higher. This leads me to think about making a tactics supplement. Retreating, sneaking, backstabbing.
2) I only use the safe space once, unless I roll another one. I picture it as using magical wards, or wedging the doors closed. Going through the same space again would be different. Do you draw a map, or just keep track of the number of exits?
3) The Wizard weapon is whatever you have as the primary mind damage. Magical attacks, psionics, or chi force, with the enhancement item. If you have a Wizard hat, that works. Otherwise, pick a suitable item. Ring, necklace, magic gloves. Narrative, you use the potion on a normal item, giving it power, or the Hat, depending on how you want to divide your points, one thing, or multiple.
4) No, they shouldn't stack, that's what dice roll 5 and 6 is for. The exception is 5 and 6, you can use multiple items for the bonus. For Body, it could be gauntlets...See more

Thank you again for the replies. :) In regards to 1) and 2), the questions came from previously using 3 Dice Dungeon, which, as you know, has you draw a map and has rules for retreating and even re-exploring rooms you've already been to (a random encounter may be triggered). I thought yours was meant to be played similarly, but from your replies I now understand that it works a bit different, closer to the original 3 Dice, and it also helps me understand your "character sheet" a bit better; I know see that that's supposed to also be a map, of sorts.

I use the character sheet to keep track of the number of exits. If you actually draw a map, you should get the benefit of backtracking to previous rooms. Here's a table for the next version for if you make a map. 1d6: 1) room is corrupted, no longer safe space 2) roll 1d6 for random monster Xp is t# room is no longer safe space 3) roll 1d6 for random monster xp is t# room remains safe space 4-6) room remains safe space.
What are your characters like?

This will sound strange, but I haven't actually started. :) I had been on other games for the last month, and I wanted to clarify those questions before I started so I was just having fun with "OSR Rules" and "3 Dice Dungeon". 3DDM is the very next thing to try.

I'm a bit uncertain on how "equipment upgrades" work, could you please clarify?

Spending gp for xp increases your level, which gives 1d6 + Essence to Heart. "This includes upgrades to equipment as well as improving skills." is just my way of generalizing the gain, what the gp was spent on. I should have worded it better. Although you give me an idea. When you level up you can either roll 1d6 for hp, roll 1d6 on Body Table, or roll 1d6 on Mind Table for the bonus. The bonus could be applied to upgrading an equipment.

I see. Thank you for the very quick reply, I haven't had a chance to try this out yet but it looks like the next obvious evolutionary step for "3 Dice", certainly. You hint at expansions, mostly to do with familiars; I hope some day they materialise. :)

This upgrading equipment rule seems essential, so you don't have twelve +1 swords, that sort of thing.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
