Failure Consequences: Food/Water: Resilience check or lose half remaining HP (weak, shaking, desperate)  For light, choose:  Press on with Disadvantage on everything until surface/camp  Press on with no Disadvantage, but each PC abandons 2d8 items from inventory (lost in the dark)  Press on with no Disadvantage, but mark 1 Affliction Point  Retreat the the surface, but treat it as a Flee  Exposure/Warmth: Resilience check or gain Wound (Exhausted: -2 to physical rolls until Full Rest in shelter) Procedure: Roll d20 ≤ total party Supplies  Success: Basic needs met (food, water, light, warmth), but spend 1 Supply per character.  Fortune (1): No supplies lost this check!  Failure: Choose:  Burn 1 extra Supply per character to scrape by, OR  Face the consequences (see below)  Folly (20): Lose 2 Supplies each and face Consequences. Something went terribly wrong.  After each check: Everyone loses 1 Supply (except on a Fortune) Special Supply Uses: Need something specific? Make a relevant skill check:  Bushcraft for wilderness gear  Delving for dungeon equipment  Healing for medical supplies  Success: Spend 1 Supply, you have exactly what you need  Success by 10+ or Fortune: It's here, no Supply cost!  Failure: Still get it, but costs 2 Supplies (rooting through pack)  Failure by 10+ or Folly: Didn't bring it. Spend 1 Supply, get nothing Supply Rules: Forget tracking every torch, ration, and waterskin. You have Supplies - abstract resources that become what you need.  Each Supply takes 1 inventory slot  Costs +1 Prosperity Resistance per Supply when you buy them  Supplies are abstract until used  Different from named gear (weapons, armor, specific tools)  For checks, count up the TOTAL of all supplies carried by party menbers. When To Roll Supply Checks: Every 8-hour rest  At the top of every hour and at the half hour of real-world table time  Resource-intensive activities  When GM calls for it

Unlike the Advantage/Disadvantage system used in Dungeons and Dragons 5e or the variable saving throw tables in Old-School Essentials (OSE), the CRAWL! Unified d20 Roll simplifies resolution by immediately defining the roll as the Effort value. Failure Consequences: Food/Water: Resilience check or lose half remaining HP (weak, shaking, desperate)  For light, choose:  Press on with Disadvantage on everything until surface/camp  Press on with no Disadvantage, but each PC abandons 2d8 items from inventory (lost in the dark)  Press on with no Disadvantage, but mark 1 Affliction Point  Retreat the the surface, but treat it as a Flee  Exposure/Warmth: Resilience check or gain Wound (Exhausted: -2 to physical rolls until Full Rest in shelter) Procedure: Roll d20 ≤ total party Supplies  Success: Basic needs met (food, water, light, warmth), but spend 1 Supply per character.
