I tried a search on this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm hoping ot incorporate sanity into a potential campaing, but I find the version in Unearthed arcana to be a little cumbersome, and heavy on the book-keeping. Can someone recommend a similar, but more streamlined version?

If you replace that entire thing with "GM's Discretion", that should simplify it as much as you need.

Actually, two numbers. Sanity, and Forbidden Lore.

technically, true. (technically the entire core books can be replaced by a small, buisiness card sized sheet of paper that says "the DM is always right" (I should make that and market it at Gen Con as the most versatile RPG EVER))

ah, touché. I stand corrected.
