Just remove all teleportation from the players options (or perhaps only leave very high level teleports, like the 7th level one, I think it is?), if you don't want them. It's not really a big deal and will make the game more challenging which for 5e is definitely a good thing.

I think the OP's proposed system works well for hp - PCs can get back hp quickly when they need to, but HD do not come back easily, which I like - there is some attrition game. You might want to remove the healer feat. However this system does not address the main "7 day wilderness trek...

5e is made for megadungeons, really. Really hard to die. Lots of healing, extra rests via short rests. Easier to run a megadungeon than ever before.

Booyeah!

Great review from the Halfling's Luck site: http://halflingsluck.blogspot.com.au/2017/09/low-fantasy-high-quality.html

Paladin is already borderline OP, if not straight up OP. Adding to that power is an obvious no no.

For me, RPGs are always more game than story. Or at least that's what I prefer to focus on. A cool story can also add to the fun however.

Yeah, the ruling is very just.. dumb really.

Easiest way to make 5e dangerous is to make it 1 death save at zero hp instead of 3. It discourages whack-a-mole too; players will want to do their healing before they drop to zero because it is so dangerous. Ideally I would also add a chance of rolling on an Injuries & Setbacks table at zero...

Point buy: everyone equal, but cookie cutter boringness Roll: everyone unequal, but avoids cookie cutter effect Best of both: everyone rolls, including the GM. Anyone can pick anyone else's array if they want, possibly with a small penalty (GM call). You get everyone on equal enough footing...

I find level 1 and 2 are some of the most fun levels - mainly because the game is still quite deadly at this level. I'd prefer the whole game closer to this level of deadliness, rather than the super resilience you gain as you go up.

Awesome 5 minute video review of LFG by Skinner Games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFjLKINBSEo&app=desktop Also adventure framework #27: Betrayal at Siradorn: https://lowfantasygaming.com/2017/08/13/betrayal-at-siradorn/

I dont mind this system but would probably tweak it to remove social altogether (if you make allies etc, that's it own reward), and just focus on killing monsters and exploring. On the other hand, milestone or incremental leveling just works so well already...

Artificer class for LFG: https://lowfantasygaming.com/2017/07/26/the-artificer/

Quickest fix for deadly 5e: only a single death save instead of 3. For extra grim and gritty, if you make your death save, roll on the DMG injury table.

What about just having a single death save, instead of 3? Much deadlier but same HP range.

Interesting - what spell casting system does it use?
