I vaguely remember that it was based on 3.5, which made me think it was to 3.5 what Shadowdark was to 5e

I mean so did 1e /Bx and now those has clones and offshoots. Even DCC which is 3e-like has somehow been assimilated into the OSR space.

And now there's no one trying to be 3e (Well ACKS is a bit like it I suppose)

Let's not be too kind to 3rd ed design here--PF2 also abandoned that style of design.

Well for one, it's most likely that the Cleric and Paladins of the defeated god no longer have divine powers. Like, it's not just that they're not allowed to cast Heal under pain of death but that they can't cast Heal at all. It'd be like if the King dies and I lose the ability to write the...

The best way to do And I'm not gonna stop them because that's the naughty word I like

I want none of the naughty word that you like so yeah, I'll never play Shadowdark in a long campaign because torches(blegh) matter too much

Just make DnD built for Nova-ing or non-attritional combat. It's what people want and abandon the pretensions of being a normal dungeon crawler, design new dungeons more like the theme park it is--a line of encounters and challenges that can be linear or taken freely. Make it even less of a real...
