First of all thank you for creating DURF! I am pretty new to RPGs in general and I don't get the multiple hit dice concept. Is the score of them combined, or do I check each die score against my wounds? Let's say I have 3 wounds and 2 HD. I roll a 2 on each of them. Do I live, because I rolled combined 4, or do I die? If it's the latter, more hit dice would increase your chances of dying, which would not be a far fetch from what I've read about old school systems (it's part of the fun). Thank you, I hope it's not a too stupid of a question.

Hi! Thanks for the question :)
You check the combined result of your Hit Dice against the number of Wounds you have accumulated :) So gaining more HD will improve your chance of survival, but a bad roll can still kill you.
I hope this answers your question, let me know if you run into anything else :)
Not author here. Just trying to help.
In my opinion what the rules say is that you add all dice values combined (in your case 4) and you compare it with your wounds (in your case 3).
If the dice total value is less that or equal of the wounds number you die.
(HD)d6 =< num wounds _then_ die
So more HD less chances to die, because more dice. More Wounds more chances to die.
