I'm tired of the broken-up and divorced detective cliché, but the way it's brought up and intertwined with the intrigue works for me. Four episodes in, and we will be watching two more tonight and finish the 9 episodes Friday evening.

Where is my Willow RPG? The film, not the horrible Disney series.

Sure, but you are not getting younger. I used to do ten different things in a day, now I do half of that. Five of those things weren't necessary anyway. I call it wisdom. :D;)

Cool. I did film studies at Concordia during those years. Love Cinema Five repertoire theatre. I lived at the Concordia residence on Sherbrooke near the Loyola campus and worked in a small coffee shop called Caféine next door to the residence.

The Internet, forums and social media are mentally draining. I've reduced my daily time. Sometimes I take 2-3 days off. I can feel the difference, even if I didn't get into a heated debate with someone on EnWorld.

I'm 60 and don't see any decline. I'm still able to learn, understand and play new games regularly. Some people can't integrate new rule sets at my age. The brain is a muscle; keep exercising it, and all should be fine. (Let's not talk about the dreaded disease we should not name lest it manifests.)

We used them in 1980-82 (BX and AD&D). Mostly at low levels and with groups of 4-5 players instead of the recommended 6 to 8 for modules. I don't recall using them with 2e. Instead, there were NPCs which tagged along for a while and left when their goal had been attained.

I would direct you instead to Light Fantasy, which restates BX using more modern rules. More info at this link: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/fr/product/467272/light-fantasy

Removing XP for gold in 2e opened the door to milestone XPs. I gave out a fixed amount of XP after each session. The PCs levelled after about 6 sessions of 8 hours.

With Matt, it does feel like a 5e D&D game with extra cool mechanics. The Death Rolls were captivating. I'm not convinced CR can change the way they play. Maybe we will get to see how Spencer would GM it in another mini-series.

Back home with my adjusted lenses. Reading is much better. The prism is not visible. (y)

If you are looking for cinematic modern adventure or pulp adventure, Outgunned and Outgunned Adventures are fun and easy to grasp.

I used to go to the NDG store between 1985 and 1988. It was called Hobby World and was more of a train, WWII modeller and RC store. It had a TSR stand with books and modules. Since I received the D&D Basic box set for Christmas, my first purchase was the D&D Expert rules booklet, as it was sold...
