I've not played BoL but your post reminded me I got the pdf a bit ago on a sale and had only given it a quick skim through. So I've been giving it a more thorough read through. So thanks for the nudge. I can't help with points 1 or 4 but for 2 there is a Boon "Magic of the Sorcerer Kings" that...

Ah so you've played My Little Pony: Tales of Equestria too.

The into the Odd family of games nearly matches what you suggested. 3 stats - D20 roll under for checks but mainly used for saves to avoid badness. Actions generally work if sound within reason. No attack roll just roll damage. Damage dice vary from D4 to D12. When hp is exhausted remaining...

I think you're all missing the point. If this is a DnD based question doesn't the giants weight have to be measured in coins?

I do feel that if 90s trad gaming is the centre then the OSR veered off one way and fiction first games the other and while I don't think they came round quite full circle and met each other, as they clearly aren't the same thing. They definitely ended up close enough to see each other in the...

Erm .. er ...which systems do include boobies? ...just asking for a friend.

I believe the usual spoken form outside of forums where the technical jargon proliferates was always - "You know Basic, Expert, the C One - Companion or Champion or whatever, and then the others,what were they called? we never got that far as we switched to AD&D, wasn't there one where you're...

Congratulations you just funded!
