That is not what the Two Solitudes is about. You used the wrong term. Two Solitudes means that modern day English Canada and Quebec Francophones operate without much awareness of what the other side is doing, as equal partners. Only consulting with each other when it matters, like the COVID-19...

Picard Star Trek. The captain (actor Santiago Cabrera) runs the entire ship from his chair.

Sad. They are dying too young. Blume 70, Gagyx 69, Arneson 61, Moldvay 58. [ USA Average for men is 76.47 - wiki ]

Coriolis the Third Horizon has a good system that involves all the players. The ships stations are not linked to a class or a character. If the crew has unconscious or dead characters during battle the rest of the team picks up the slack by operating more stations (pop-up screens). A crew of...

Intelligent monsters often have shamans in their culture. So, yes they take AOEs seriously because their shaman uses AOE spells against other humanoid tribes.

A rpg is not that expensive when you compare it to other hobbies. In my book if I can GM an adventure of 3-4 nightly sessions (worth 25$ of entertainment each) I consider the return on my investment fully reimbursed. After that it's just an extra ball of ice cream on top of the cone. Usually I...

I have more chances to buy a new RPG if the setting and the ruleset are meshed together into one cohesive product. For example Forbidden Lands is a really well made hex crawl system with a grim dark fantasy setting. Coriolis the Third Horizon presents very interesting firefly+arbian nights mix...

A similar updated game by fans of Star Frontiers. I have the PHB and Referee pdfs. Well done. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/222633/FrontierSpace-Players-Handbook My project is far from being available any time soon.

Well If you can't buy a new rpg create one of your own design. Always wanted to do a refreshed modern version of Star Frontiers. My other attempts in the past have all gone to the file 13. That is what I have been doing the last 2 days. This time everything is falling into place. The days go by...

The BECMI people are on The Piazza forums. They are very active and participate in the production of the Threshold Mystara Magazine. They call BECMI (B/X) «Classic D&D» : Classic D&D - The Piazza

I don't see a difference in game play between 5e and AD&D. Maybe it's my group but we do a lot of role-play, problem solving and world building. Combat is only a last resort. Could be the type of game I prepare too. No long crawls, no multi-day wilderness treks...

My d20 was so damaged that it didn't stop rolling until it fell off the table. In this case it is a good thing they don't make them like they used to!

The Gazetteers are a wonderful resource. They are never very far when I design a campaign.

I keep telling myself I should read those (Domain/War machines) but I always keep putting that to later. Now would be a good time (covid-19)

Never played and never will. Played B/X and switched to AD&D. I did buy a used copy of the RC at the end of the 90s at a local gaming store with the intention of trying it out. Having all the rules between two covers seemed like a good idea. But the full system is daunting. I preferred AD&D2e...

Here is an exemple of solo play that could have been a regular multi-player game. I explain the system I used to generate the semi-random adventure : https://marccsolottrp.blogspot.com/2019/07/solo-dungeon-crawl-rescuing-mayor.html

And with Tables of Doom you can create a completely random adventure: D&D Solo Adventure: Tables Of Doom - 5E Solo Adventuring - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild
