Topic: Four Questions about Carcosa

I'm now reading through the LotFP version of Carcosa in detail and I'm LOVING everything I'm seeing in it. However, I have four questions:

1) How easy is it to run it without the Carcosan dice mechanics, which I don't like very much? I mean, I know that I could simply use D8's for each die, but how well would that work?

2) How fitting is this setting (and the LotFP system in general) to the adventures of one (anti?-)hero and one sidekick rather than a fully-blown 4-member adventuring party?

3) How do you deal with injury considering the absence of healing magic?

4) Carcosa makes reference to GP and SP. Does it use D&D's Gold Standard or LotFP:GH's Silver Standard?

Re: Four Questions about Carcosa

Ed is mostly right on, except that the new publication of Carcosa still uses the gold standard (cf. the bottom of page 3). Thanks, Ed! smile

For healing, check-out the healing doses on page 27.
