Movement rates, we kind of need them

Since January, I've run para-OD&D twice a week with pared down rules to make it accessible to non-gamers. One of the things I left out is movement. But now and again, the question arises: a chase, an attempt at running away, you know how it works.

When that happens I look at my trusty B/X Monster Reference booklet and compare movement rates between the critter in question and one of the Men entries (cause I can never remember what a normal person's movement is). I just need to know if a monster is faster or slower than an adventurer.

So now I'm thinking about the stat blocks in Macchiato Monsters. I don't want to have to add the information to every monster if it's not relevant. So a mention in the description should suffice: different movements such as flies or burrows are in there already, so fast or slow or quick as lightning could certainly work.

Or would I be better served by a (short) list of tags? Are there any old school games that handle movement in a clever way?

(Previous post deleted because I had second thoughts about the pic I chose.)

_At 0 HP you're unconscious, bleeding. Make a CON check to determine if you’re
still breathing. With a success, you have 1 HP and can be healed normally, but
you’ve sustained a grievous wound: you lose a level to represent the loss in abilities and stamina. Remove two advances (not necessarily you latest ones – talk to the referee about what makes the most sense)._

Does this include level 1? Do you become level 0? I think I'm too soft for OSR! :-D

Looking for some rules clarification on consumables.

Looking for some rules clarification on consumables. When a player buys an extra stock of a consumable (e.g. a ration) does it give them an extra risk die? For example 1dR6 becomes 2dR6. After the first dR6 is consumed would it then go down to 1dR6 of stock?

Hey all!

Hey all! Just recently found out about Macchiato Monsters. I love both Whitehack and The Black Hack so this is a fascinating and fun middleground. Couple of questions.

1) How has the Zero Edition been going? What's the status on getting a completed product with the 20+ pages of additional content?

2) When those 20+ pages get added, would it be at all possible to get a hardcover version of the book? One of my favorite things about Whitehack is that it has a hardcover option from Lulu.
