Trampier for the feels. Technically, Keith Parkinson had some stunning pieces.

If you remove everything from rpg but shared imagination is it still rpg? Would chess be still chess?

I have been playing for about half year. System and core modules are very well done. Developer (Moo Man) is active on discord, and a capable and decent person. I got Core, Starter and Ubersreik Adventures 1. While anything can be built in base system, from scratch, it does save time to get...

Imo, this should be enough to illustrate that they knew they had something special: D&D - Book 3, The Underworld & Wilderness Adventures "AFTERWORD: There are unquestionably areas which have been glossed over. While we deeply regret the necessity, space requires that we put in the essentials...

Max at 1st. Then either: half HD per level, or reroll everything, take new or old+1, whichever is higher.

I'm ok with point buy. I also like card draws: 4 of suits 6 to 3, and 2 of suit 2. draw 3 per attribute. arrange per taste. I'm not that fond of straight 3d6 in order, especially with B/X modifier distribution. At the moment, I'm running OSE variant with character rolling two sets, choose either...

I think it's marvellous to let go of things one does, and watch them have life on their own.

I played Milo, halfling cleric of Cyrrollalee (Light domain). I healed only in dire need. Fireballs were just so much sweeter :)

I sold all of my 5e books. If I ever run it again, free Basic will do. As for VTTs, I have a backlog of non-D&D that will last me lifetime.

Note that 2022 is not 2008. Vtt producer/consumer ecosystem has been steadily growing. And with everything becoming a service, it's easy to imagine DnD going that way.

check The Drowned World by J. G. Ballard for inspiration

I played Cicada in MegaMek and was pleasantly surprised. It's awesome at running about and kicking stuff. As for Warhammer vs two Panthers, properly conducting such fight would be boring for most players. Map would gave to be huge (about twice ppc range), panthers would have to split to...

Well, that's not allowed any more, if it ever was.

It's turn-based and more true to original than HBS BT. Less "flashy", but with serviceable graphics.
