    How is it lighter? A shorter spell list?

    D&D 5E (2024) Atlas of Faerun (with some pictures from the internet)

    They are nice maps, good terrain and elevation aspects. A bit weird not seeing the political borders.

    TSR Blast from the Past- How to Go Full Monty Haul in AD&D

    The -2 matches up to the two weapon fighting penalty for the offhand weapon of someone with Lareth's 17 dex. 1e DMG page 70: "Attacks With Two Weapons:" "Characters normally using a single weapon may choose to use one in each hand (possibly discarding the option of using a shield). The...

    Rolemaster, really intense multiroll deep crit charts. Decent flavor magic classes in the spell law series. MERP (Middle Earth roleplaying) provided a simplified system.

    TSR Blast from the Past- How to Go Full Monty Haul in AD&D

    No, the balance of classes in the original 0D&D books in the boxed set before the supplements came out. The balance of tank fighting man, artillery magic user, and hybrid cleric who was decent but not as good at fighting as a fighting man (full armor but less hp, no magic swords) or as good at...

    TSR Blast from the Past- How to Go Full Monty Haul in AD&D

    I don't remember this from reading the novels a couple decades ago, but Gygax was a huge Lieber fan and 1e Deities & Demigods says I think I remember in some novels Conan fighting with a small axe or a hatchet and a dagger as well, though I could not say which one. A lot of Conan...

    TSR Blast from the Past- How to Go Full Monty Haul in AD&D

    I do consider the thief in Supplement I Greyhawk a terrible class design that screwed up fairly decent class balance in the original books. It also introduced paladins with terrible alignment mechanics and introduced percentile strength.

    TSR Blast from the Past- How to Go Full Monty Haul in AD&D

    Three attacks doing 100 per round means over 33 hp per hit. Gauntlets to Storm giant girdles give +6 to +14 damage on a hit. +4 weapon with +2 specialization would be +6 more so that would be +12 to +20 damage on a d8/d12 longsword and a d6/d8 shortsword. Anything I am missing? Short sword of...

    Ars Magica has lots of neat aspects, I like a lot of the flavor of the magic and the sourcebooks. The magic system has both a verb and noun power system for on the fly casting and a bunch of predetermined "rote" spells. system wise think D&D stat bonuses but no middleman stats, so Strength could...

    Another vote for WFRP. Start off with street level classes like rat catcher or (non magical) scholar. Advance specific abilities in the classes or to more powerful classes like witch hunter, lawyer, mercenary captain, various mages, giant slayer, etc. without turning into fantasy superheros...

    GURPS is another 80s one that has fantasy as a core option. Point buy instead of class and level system, stats cut down to four (str, dex, health (con) and int), lots of granular skills, 3d6 instead of d20 for rolls gives a bell curve result, hp are like D&D but generally start and stay around...

    Worlds of Design: In the Shadow of Tolkien

    Aslan was originally part of the Forgotten Realms, later renamed Nobanion. I based my Golarion ice witch queen of Irresen on the White Witch pretty hard, even had the wolves talk in running the associated adventure path.
