Hi Mograg!
Thank you so much for the support and feedback.
When spending experience points, if a player rolls higher than their character's current percentage (extreme), that skill increases by 1 point.
Regarding weapon damage: Hit points are typically low (averaging 10.5), so it usually takes about two to three regular blows/shots to eliminate a character. However, you are absolutely correct: following the rules as written, it's very difficult to kill a character in a single blow/shot. The player would need to roll well and score a critical hit to double the damage.
In my games, I don't even require a roll if a character is shooting or slashing another at point-blank with the target at their mercy and the intent to kill. As for accidental discharge, I would probably use the Luck skill.
I'll definitely give this some thought and see if an increase in the damage bonus of the weapons is a good idea.
Again, thanks a lot for the help!

Sorry for the delay!
As a stand-alone zine, probably not… but it is available in deck format: https://www.drivethrucards.com/m/product/414742
hi Louis!
Damage is equal to the difference between the result of the roll and the level of the target. So, if an opponent is level 13, it’s necessary to roll a 14 to start dealing damage. 12 or less means the attacker suffers damage. A result that matches exactly the level of the opponent (13 in this instance) means no one dealt damage on that round.
Remember that the level of an NPC decreases as they receive damage, making them easier to hit.
For the maximum level, I wouldn’t go over 16, but depends on how powerful the hunters are.
In any case, violence should be the last resort, as combat is pretty deadly! Specially getting that first blow clean.
Thanks a lot for your super kind words. So happy you enjoyed it!

BIG SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Certainly, students may discover that they can opt for the "Easy Way" in any room to ensure their safe passage. However, if they choose this path, they'll likely struggle to end the night with enough money to cover their tuition fees. Each time they pass through that door, one of their precious coins disappears!
The students have other options rather than resorting to violence to seize the money, even though that might align with the Devil's intentions, right? Hahaha! They could attempt to persuade their fellow students to loan them the money or gang together to confront the Devil.
There's an aspect of the legend that I omitted, but I'm contemplating whether it would be cool to include it as an appendix for an extra session, especially if one of the players becomes the "chosen one." According to the legend, Don Juan Manuel, "The Lucanor Count," was one of those selected to serve the Devil, yet he managed to outsmart Him and escape... In fact, his book can be found in one of the rooms!
Make a regular roll (2d6) and add your wisdom to the result. 10 or less means the new item grants you +1 to any action in which you use it. If the result is higher than 10, for each point above 10, the item gets an additional bonus point. For example, if the total result is 12, the bonus for that item will be +3.
Hope that helps!
Short answer: most likely the second week of August.
Long answer:
If there are no issues with the printing process, I could send them in July. The thing is shipping in Taiwan is pretty affordable for magazines, but they still don't allow shipping to certain countries (a lot of them actually) due to COVID. As I'm traveling to Spain during the summer, I will be able to ship from there to those countries. I've run numbers for the shipping cost from Spain using the information they have on their website, but I know how things work there, so until I actually go to the post office to deliver the zines, I don't know how much is really gonna cost. If the cost is the same or not too crazy compared to what it is in Taiwan, I will ship everything from Spain. That means I can ship earlier (July). If the shipping costs from Spain are much more expensive, I will just ship from there to those countries I can't from Taiwan. If I do so, I will do it during my last days in Spain, so everyone gets the zine more or less at the same time.
Thanks a lot!
Not in the near future, sorry... The quality is not the same, but if you want a hard copy, there are POD paperback copies available thru LULU:

Yeah!
We got a free one-session scenario called The Gourdian Not: https://punkpadour.itch.io/gourdian-not
Random Ramblin Press published another one called The Dark House: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/368987/Dakuhausu--The-Dark-House?manufactur...
Right in the last comment, dv88vb said they would like to share the one they wrote to introduce their daughters to RPG gaming, and I'm currently writing one myself. I hope I can release it in a couple of months.
So happy to hear that. You made my day. I feel honored that they had a wonderful first experience with RPG games with Yokai Hunters Society.
About publishing the scenario. Depends on what's your goal: If you just have a simple doc you used for running the adventure, you can just post a link to your dropbox or google drive here in the comments section. I would love to check it out myself! If you have a well-polished and layout document that you would like to publish and sell or offer for free, I'm partial to itch, but you could publish it at DriveThruRPG also.
