Just one minor omission to report, when recreating the Castle of Mystery I noticed that there is no "icon" for the "10","11" and "2/12" (and a "12" may also be useful whilst we're on that subject)

There are ways around it of course, but just wanted to let you know...

Ah - yes, I think you sent the same feedback via the app yesterday? ;)

I've been meaning to do more number annotations - maybe going all the way up to 20? The fraction always puzzled me a little... 2/12 being the only one... would the whole number annotations suffice, or are there a sequence of fractions that may be more valuable?

Is there anyway to get the monster icons in the Wandering Monster field?

Sadly not. They're pure text fields... unless you wanted to get creative with emoji! Text description with any bespoke HP etc is sadly the only way you can describe/indicate your quests wandering monster, currently.

2/12 means "2 or 12" in this case

Hmm, okay. It feels a bit much to do 1/12, 2/12, 3/12... etc - but 2/12 by itself is a bit odd by itself. Any additional thoughts?

Yes I did give the same feedback via the App, wasn't sure if you were monitoring, clearly you were!

I would suggest 1 to 20 would be sufficient for the vast majority of circumstances although an "or" sign ("/") could also be useful as I think that is used in some later quests too (but I haven't got to them and will post here again if/when I do)
