This post reminded me to finish reading my TB2e books... Anyway, looks really cool!

Oh, thanks for letting me know. Another forum I was on made it sound like it was distancing itself away from B/X.

Been hooked for 37 years. Started with 2e ended with 5.24. 😀 How about you?

Confused why a new edition of OSE is needed. I thought that's what Dolmenwood was essentially going to be? Is this for players who don't have Dolmenwood and also don't want a faithful retro-clone anymore?

You think so? Which ones? Keep in mind, I'm talking games that are class based.

Thieves and Fighters are distinct enough to warrant separate classes. Take away the skills and Backstab (the class's defining features) and you still have differences in HD, attack tables, allowable weapons/armor, and the use of magic. There's a reason why Thieves/Rogues are included in just...

My two favorite initiative systems are from LotFP and Hackmaster. LotFP just uses this simple chart (not affected by stats). The more points, the less you move during a turn. Hackmaster is on the other side of the spectrum where the GM does full on encumbrance audits (carried out with the...

The statement does a really good job explaining the thought process behind the monetization. Also, how they need to take a look at how they conduct surveys. It does not really explain why it was so expensive though. It could read as Darrington demanded the $8 per pack, but for all we know they...

I would think Pathfinder is better at high level play. It was one of the reasons they even bothered making a new edition after all. Reading through it, I see the effort to get the math balanced perfectly 1-20. My current party is only Lv 4 though, so haven't actually experienced it yet. D&D 5E...

As much as I loved the GURPS sourcebooks, I don't think I ended up buying a single one. Core was more than enough to keep me busy as a kid... That said, enjoyed Diskworld, In Nomine, Bestiary, and Martial Arts.

@BornHeretic Did you guys play AD&D by the book, BECMI, or some kind of mix?
