Presumably to encourage Critters who are not already Prime members to sign up? And lots of views will drive the algorithm to promote it more widely.

It worked 🙂

Want more Hite? Luck is in - there is a Bundle of Holding on his stuff!

That almost exists… Suppressed Transmissions 1 & 2

It was pretty de rigueur for BECMI D&D. You got XP for the treasure you extracted from the dungeon / adventure and encumbrance was actually measured in coins so the concept was sign posted very strongly.

I’m no longer sure what my second RPG after BECMI D&D would have been. There are some contenders based on publication dates. It might have been FASA Star Trek, James Bond 007, or DC Heroes 1e. We tried all those and my memories are of playing them with my very first group when I was still in...

Are you thinking of Wild Cards, @Committed Hero ?

At the moment I would feel like I have lots of dungeon crawling options open to me. Both Draw Steel and Daggerheart would be really interesting to try. I still haven’t gotten Dragonbane to the table, or The Fantasy Trip either. Then I have stalwarts of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy or an implementation...

Themberchaud is a key NPC in the adventure: Not sure if he appears elsewhere.

Do you mean this one? I presume that is Themberchaud, it certainly looks like Gracklstugh in the background.

I play a lot of Savage Worlds and I’ve played a chunk of Cortex+. They are not much like each other at all IMO. Savage Worlds is a very ‘traditional’ game most of the time, with a dash of narrative tools like meta currency and some scene resolution tools. Cortex Prime is probably the most...
