Technically 1HD = 1d8. But I say 5 just to get a high average.
+1 or +2 tacked on to the number of HD is honestly something I’ve never figured out on old school games. Does the monster get a flat +2 hp bonus, or +2 hp per HD? I’d say it’s up to the GM. A dial you can turn on encounter difficulty
It also affects to hit bonus. Google THAC0 monsters and OSE. A monster with 3HD has a +2 attack bonus. But a monster with 3+1HD has a +3 attack bonus.
Usually not my neck of the woods, but this is lovely stuff!
Is the header image on https://lonely-adventurer.itch.io/ connected to Yaloon? Did you post the image in full somewhere?

I'm a bit confused on HD.
1 Hd = 5 HP, right?
But sometimes the math doesn't add up. Like 2HD+1 won't be 11. What am I missing?
So sorry I missed this question!

Yaloon exists in a corner of that fantasy O'Neill Cylinder I used as a header image. :) It's my home game's campaign world.
I've posted it to Discord and Twitter in the past.
