• 📚 The speaker recently obtained the physical version of Advanced Tiny Dungeon, which was difficult to find in Europe.
• 🎲 The main difference between Advanced Tiny Dungeon and regular Tiny Dungeon is the introduction of an armor class (AC) system in combat.
• 🎯 In regular Tiny Dungeon, players need to roll a 5 or higher to damage opponents, regardless of armor or speed. Advanced Tiny Dungeon allows for lower AC targets, making combat more balanced.
• ⚔️ In Advanced Tiny Dungeon, every successful die roll inflicts one point of damage, or two points for heavy melee weapons. This provides a clearer and more intuitive damage system.
• 🎭 Advanced Tiny Dungeon introduces a class structure where players choose two specialties to determine their class. Classes include Archer, Explorer, Fighter, Mage, Paladin, Thief, and more.
• 📜 The system allows for renaming classes to suit individual preferences or character concepts.
• 🧬 Heritages are still present in Advanced Tiny Dungeon, defining hit points (HP) and armor class (AC). The maximum AC allowed is 5, regardless of combinations or abilities.
• 💔 Instead of hit points, Advanced Tiny Dungeon uses a combination of trauma and stress to represent physical and mental damage.
• 🔀 Optional rules in the book cover various aspects, such as critical hits, character drawbacks, XP methods, item usage, repairs, and setting up camps.
• 📖 The speaker personally finds the Advanced Tiny Dungeon system worth having, especially for playing with their son or solo gaming. They appreciate the simplicity and ease of play, as well as the versatility to merge with other systems.

In my experience, Tiny Dungeon is actually a game where being outnumbered can turn things south in a hurry for the PCs -- even against fodder, if you're using them "striaght" / as-written. Each one having two actions they can use for attacks, and rolling 2d6? Rough stuff.

Unless I'm going for a grittier feel, I prefer to limit the fodder in a couple of ways -- first, they attack at Disadvantage (1d6), and while I give them two actions, they can only attack once.

Such a great system to tinker with in this way... though I'd admit I think it loses something once too many changes are made. The minimalist part of it is what initially attracted me.
