Anthony's take is pretty funny (WARNING: lots of swearing)...

Honestly better than most pop music...

I was thinking the same thing, haha. I love my copy of Pendragon, but I just don't seem to have the bandwidth to learn the system. I even brought it into the office in the hopes of slowly reading it on breaks, but that hasn't happened either. Mythic Bastionland is looking really appealing to me...

Don't play RPGs solo myself, but have a blast watching this lady try it out with various systems. When I'm out on travel I do like to play solo dungeon crawls though. Love playing D100 Dungeon while sipping on decaf hotel coffee at night. Edit: Just remembered, also had a lot of fun with...

What makes me feel old is how out of touch everyone seems to be with everything now. Video games, TTRPG, boardgames, anime/manga, movies/streaming, etc. Get twenty diehard fans of any hobby in the same room and you'd be lucky if two people even know the same title, let along actually interacted...

Agree, but could be that they didn't put much out late last year, early this year? Nothing is coming to my mind at least.

Well this game/setting looks amazing:

This is my dream project. I've jotted down so many different mechanics to try and capture the feel of those games, but nothing has ever materialized. And even if it did, I realize there is no way my game would ever be marketable.

Speaking of which, I picked up Rick Martinez's latest book, Salsa Daddy, and loving it. Packed with recipes for mashed, blended, chopped, and cooked salsas. I've made at least half a dozen an so far all have been tasty. Would recommend!

@R_J_K75 Looks good! Last one I made used OJ and I wasn't really a fan...

3rd edition Forgotten Realms book for me. That was my realization of what it meant to be a professional when it came to designing material for D&D.

Oh cool. Will certainly check it out, thanks!

If I recall correctly, it was a Rules Cyclopedia clone, but seems to be gone from Drive-Thru now...

I own both BECMI and Rules Cyclopedia and prefer ACKS II because of the cleaner layout, updated rules (including AD&D material), and the extensive campaign rules (building and running). Also having hardbound books chock-full of kick-ass, full-color art is worth the price as well: @Desdichado...

Oh, another touch I really liked was a section on when to "fudge the dice"; quite the blasphemous topic in the OSR! 😮😄 But I couldn't agree more, it was all in the spirit of saving time and moving things along if nothing of note would come from the result, like the last creature getting dropped...

I have an entire closet full of them. I've been fascinated/obsessed with them since I received my first copy of Heroquest as a kid. My absolute favorite is Quest for the Pixel which I talked about in my thread here. Just a straight up, dice chucking dungeon crawler. Almost every dungeon crawler...

It absolutely can and has lots of optional rules you can use to make that happen. For instance, there are separate treasure tables for Classic campaigns (standard OSR) or Heroic campaigns (High-Fantasy). ACKS II is an improvement in just about every way IMO. While ACKS was a cleverly houseruled...
