"a slot is a slot is a slot" I've heard that one before 😂

5:54 I’d give the players choice as to what’s most expendable. As a player, I’d want my gold in the last slot to lose, because that’s XP 9:13 On direct damage, it bypasses any HP, and does not change HP. Cairn (based on Knave 1e) calls HP “hit protection” to represent damage as stamina keeping you from getting wounded. Think Game of Thrones fight scenes. You have enough fight in you to keep them from killing (wounding) you. 12:11 I like the re-roll HP. Always improving, but eventually tending to the average with all the dice. 14:52 I Love the idea of reverse checks! It opens the players up to role play describing how they make the goblin miss. GM could still role damage and others. 16:56 reverse checks still possible thanks to using 11 as the target base: D20 + PC stat to meet or beat 11 + GM stat for success. 21:56 Maybe the goblins come. See delving rules. He does call for a hazard dice roll for each dungeon turn. SOMETHING will happen.

Great video as always! Knave looks like an interesting game. btw: 10 more days on the Castles & Crusades Reforged Kickstarter, was wondering if you might do a video on C&C before the kick starter ends? I just backed it at the $175 level. Only downside now is I'll have to wait till Dec 2024 for all that goodness. Already have all the C&C rule books or reprints (many, many times over) -- just backed it to support them. You've made a really good point on the C&C Whitebox (which I never thought of before) -- that it's kind of like a Beginner Box or Starter Set -- and even though they give away the 7th print of the PHB for free -- I really wish they would do a starter set. btw: Thanks to you I did buy the C&C white box (as a PDF) from DriveThru -- you are totally right it is simpler than the hardback rules -- although C&C is still a super simple game.

Another great OSR game. I think the creator (Ben) is/was a school teacher. It's a well thought-out system.
