Simple simple: rolling 2d6 for skill checks or fights (adding the result to characteristics and the like). The simplest dice and a very articulated and "realistic" outcome. Realistic in the sense that, if I try at some task in real life, it is more likely for me having an average result rather...

Blackmoor Living World! This campaign is still going strong, with 12 adventures already completed, 4 ongoing and many players involved. If you want to be part of this story and you want an introductory adventure (to the campaign, to the setting and/or to the ruleset) I will soon start running...

I have to say that, in some peculiar way, Ravenloft changed the way many people play, putting more complex or dramatic background stories and general narrative (with a kind of "literary twist") at the centre of the stage. Before Ravenloft it wasn't really like that.

Overall it looks like a nice 5-room dungeon to me! I'm sure the kids will have lots of fun! If you want to keep the boss fight, I'd add some trick and make it easy if you spot the trick. For example, staying within the theme of the adventure, I'd make the "boss" a very hard statue (NOT a living...

Of course I can give you just my point of view: I don't have the time for playing as much as I had when I was younger, so I want to make the most of each opportunity. This means that having to pass a whole session just to roll a character is now something unacceptable: I want to start the game...

I'd define Advanced Fighting Fantasy and its cousin Stellar Adventures as rules light games (they are 2d6 games that you can literally learn in 5 minutes from a GM guiding you + the free quickstart guide, plus 3 more minutes to roll your character and you can start playing straight away), but...

I think that encounters should be meaningful. You can have an encounter that is "difficult" WRT opposition stats and is not meaningful for the adventure, but just a stat block dumped there to provide a generic challenge, although out of the storyline: as a player I feel it boring. I'm happy with...

I run and played very satisfactorily solo games, even long games, but I think that a solo campaign is a bit too much.

Sad news... :(
