A little error I found in the current version (version updated: Oct 01, 2024): the Speech column at Character Traits is duplicated.
The latest version was updated July 19th 2025, and should have that fixed. That's what I'm seeing on my side
sorry I took the timestamp from the development log instead of the more Information area where I read: Jul 19, 2025.
Still, the error is in there in my downloaded version.
Wonderful! I loved the illustrations too, are they your own work?
thanks! The illustrations public domain medieval engravings.
Would you mind sharing where you found them? I was looking for illustrations in this style for a game I’m writing about alchemy.
everything you’ll ever need:

Hey there, How do you fold this pocket edition? I've tried a couple of different ways and can't seem to get it right.
hey! This should help: https://pocketmod.com/howto
Unfortunately your zine format is not working. One page mini zines can only be printed one side and have 8 pages, including front and back page.
I think it's 2 zines rather than 1 double-sided zine
Hi Silvernightingale !
Good job, but beware !
On second page of booklet there is an error !
When a Pc go exactly to 0 hp don't roll any dice, the result on the scar table is equal to the damage inflicted.
oops! My bad, Ill fix that Edit: Fixed
Another thing, have you thought about a digital version with the text in regular orientation and information arranged so that it can be opened on a cell phone?
Ill upload a "normal version", good point
Edit: Added
Amazing work! Are you interested in having this material translated into Brazilian Portuguese? I would love to translate it if I can get the layout files.
Sure! But I was a bit lazy throwing this together and the PDF is the source file lol. I just open the PDF in illustrator to edit and save as PDF.
