hey thank you! honestly it will likely come down to a series of saves, but making it a puzzle to locate and successfully access shelter could be fun with a quick countdown.

Things to consider: the shelter may already be occupied and require diplomacy or violence to resolve who gets it. It could also be more of a logical puzzle to quickly break into something locked, or to construct something in short order.

I agree one save is a little droll, but a quick encounter with a ticking clock is sure to get the party thinking creatively

Listen. I hate procedure. I will make things up constantly, fudge numbers, and operate purely on vibes whenever I can.

That said, Errant is a staggering accomplishment in applying procedure to every aspect of a fantasy adventure, allowing you to flesh out your players actions and make them earn their victories in a cool and engaging way. (I especially liked Lockpicking and the Magic/Grimoire system.)

All told, you can't make me follow procedure, but Errant will have a permanent spot in inspiring how I design encounters for my players.
