Ah, I see now. Is that this? Dungeons & Dragons Chainmail I never got into this back in the 3e day but vaguely remember it. In any case, I was looking more for an actively supported game… or to learn if there is interest in one.

Strange… if that’s the case I’m not seeing any record of it anywhere: Chainmail (game) - Wikipedia TSR acquired Chainmail and released a 3rd Edition in 1975. But also, TSR was acquired by WotC in the 90s and then they released D&D 3rd Edition, and TSR was then defunct. If a 4th edition of...

Thanks for the reply. A couple things: 1. I’m pretty sure Chainmail was released in the early 70s (not 90s) and bears little resemblance to D&D. I think D&D evolved from it as answer to “What if we played as a singular hero and not an army?” 2. I’m more just trying to see if there is interest...

I like that idea a lot actually. What changes would you make to the classes to support it?

I’ll have to check these out later. I am only just hearing about them from this thread!

Haha, yeah, maybe I should just grab the PDFs for the books I’m missing and dive in to 4e haha :) I keep hearing a lot about Zweihander- it sounds pretty cool!

Agreed. I do like 5e (don’t get me wrong) and will be reading through Level Up, as it looks very interesting. But, something about 4e draws me in. Sad that, as you say, that ship’s sails. I run all my games currently in Fantasy Grounds- which seems perfect for 4e.

Namely, ongoing support. Partly, bloat. 4e has a problem I see in that there a lot of books required to really get back into it. On the other hand, it has been all but dropped by WoTC. So there will never be any new content for it, no one is making tools for it, VTT support for it is hard to...

I’ve heard this as well— I might eventually checkout PF2 as well.

Interesting! I hadn’t realized Savage Worlds had that in mind. I had always heard it was more geared towards theater of the mind. I’m thinking not so much a retro clone as just a brand new game in a similar vein as 4e. I know WoTC was incredibly closed off when it came to licensing for 4e, so a...

Curious about people’s thoughts on this. I always liked the tactical aspects of D&D 4e, though didn’t play much of it myself. I think in a lot of ways, 4e suffered due to marketing and the fact that it was so different from D&D 3.5e, yet had the same name. I’m sure there were many other issues...
