I've posted the rest of the interview. http://www.bythisaxe.co/2013/04/designers-q-with-alexander-macris.html

Designer’s Q&A with Alexander Macris (Adventurer Conqueror King System) "Today, March 29th, is the one year anniversary of my Adventurer Conqueror King System blog! To celebrate, I asked Adventurer Conqueror King System lead designer Alexander Macris if he would agree to an interview. Not only...

I'd recommend Risus, PDQ or Barbarians of Lemuria. Risus and PDQ are available in several versions and are designed from the ground up to be simple and flexible. Barbarians of Lemuria is designed for Swords and Sorcery, but the core mechanics can be easily boiled down and used for a variety of...

I somehow missed this column, but I very much liked the last two entries linked above. So, I will read the archive, and maybe Mr. Perkins will have resumed the column by the time I finish the archive :)

To the OP, you said "I think the setting ... meshes perfectly with Pathfinder." Could you comment more on that? I'm a fan of the original World of Aden, and I've thought of using it as a campaign setting again, but not for 3.x/PF. Thank you!

It's hard for me to think of a favorite 1E house rule in the same way I might think of a favorite 3.x house rule. There is a kernel of truth behind your jest that 1E is flawless. My favorite 1E house rule is: a natural 20 on an attack roll results in an additional iterative attack; a natural 1...

Thank you very much! Your list looks very comprehensive, and I'm grateful for the time you've obviously invested in this.

I want to chime in that I too have been unable to log in, for two days, so far. As a professional software developer, I try to avoid debugging other folks software in my spare time, so I haven't done more than attempt to log in. As a past and potentially future customer, I'm not impressed...

I voted no, in general. However, I view the prevalence and trappings in the use of raise dead to be an important element of campaign building. For example, in a homebrew campaign I previously played in, raise dead was as available as in the rules as written, but there was a terrible stigma...
