Still waiting for my book, but already read the beta and final pdf too. My biggest gripe is they don't have any guidelines for creating new monsters.

None of my relationships hindered my hobbies in a significant way. The kid though, now that's eating up time like popcorn. Can't wait till he's big enough to roll dice.

It seems Mythic Iceland 2e by Chaosium is getting close to the finish line after many years, so I nominate that.

Looks fine to me, though I was surprised by the large amount of saving through categories. One thing I haven't checked: are the saving throw categories in priority order (i.e. which one to roll against first if multiple categories would apply)?

It has been out of print and unavailable for many years - unless you were willing to pay collector's price on eBay. I'm glad it's back, because back when it was available I was a dirt poor university student and couldn't afford it. Keeping out of print products available is just as important as...

Someone seems to be salty that his games don't sell. I wonder if it's the same guy who wrote the Your RPG Is naughty word blog.

The Old-School Essentials: Advanced Fantasy and Palace of Unquiet Repose campaigns also launched, and funded already.

My favorite is neither of the above, but roll vs roll. It's swingier, but keeps both sides engaged in the process and opens up other possibilities for defenders - like in HackMaster crit defense can result in a riposte.

Despite what a lot of people think, the BD&D race-as-classes weren't the original way of handling races and classes, but a simplified version designed for an entry product. Original Dungeons & Dragons handled race and class seperately, which became more pronounced after Supplement I. Which is...

I have ordered several times from them to Hungary without issues. The shipping fee wasn't horrible either.

I always find it amusing when people come with the "one magic missile" example. Magic Missile is a trap, the most worthless, useless spell, but people seem to be keen on chosing it because "oooh it does damage". If you expect the AD&D magic-user to be a damage dealer, then of course you will...
