Do you mind if I make a game derived from this using my tri-fold format? I'd be making a few changes, maybe adding a pair of permanent boons and a bane for a bunch of character type. I think it works really well as a foundation, and I'd like to explore it further. (All attributions and creative commons license will be applied as appropriate)

The system is creative commons. And feel free to let me know about it when it’s done if you want, I’d love to take a look and give it a shoutout on social media!
I saw the Creative Commons license, but I always figure that it's polite to ask.
Very pretty and I love this particular zine format ! I think you can hardly make something simpler without making some very big compromises, which is why I enjoy this set of rules very much.
I really like how succinct it is. I'm confused by the red 6/3/1 though. Is there something special about them?
Thank you! Those are just the thresholds for tiers of success. They don’t mean anything in particular mechanically, but it’s just the core of what you need to remember.
1 or higher. 3 or higher. 6.
This is very pretty I was looking for inspiration with what other people had done before I cram and publish mine. Very nice looking.
