@R_J_K75 Beautiful. 😯 I finally got a backyard, so bought my first grill. It's gas, but have to start somewhere. 😝

I think now it just comes down to setting. If you're okay with no demi-humans, weird sci-fi elements, and mature themes, then I'd say give it a shot.

In between OSE and AD&D. I'd say close to 2e AD&D. It retains that "archaic rule" feel while also still being really streamlined. A good compromise IMO.

Sorry to hear it, but understandable. PF2E demands system mastery by all participants, but games feel more satisfying as a GM and my players feel more accomplished than 5E. I love how intricate the monster stat blocks are. Specific resistances/weaknesses really help certain characters shine and...

Descending. "Close" in that it has that AD&D feel of extra crunch, such as specific tables for each stat, more powerful PCs compared to B/X, and target audience is adults. Lots of small tweaks to Saving Throws, Class Abilities, and game rules throughout though. Same 4 core classes, but 22...

Out of the dozens and dozens of OSR games I own, it's certainly one of my favorites. Strong AD&D core, lots of fun additions, cool art, and one of the most robust GM books out there. Here's a great video that goes over it:

Agreed. Personally, I use the rolls for "automatic success" in secret. If the roll fails, they can still roleplay their way to success depending on circumstances. Also, for climbing, stealthing, and such, I make note that's for extraordinary circumstances. "Normal" circumstances should...

How complicated is the Ironsworn system? I don't know why, but most solo rules bore me to tears, so it's hard for me to read through them...

Too cool! Can't wait to give this a shot.

Make the default campaign setting Greyhawk. Tie it in with the 50th Anniversary Include older iconic characters in the artwork throughout the Core books Wait a second...

Another rule I apparently missed was: If fighting a group, the player doesn't get to choose the target; it's random, to simulate the chaotic nature of melee.

Apologies if mentioned already, but I know lots of folks who miss PCs should have two Attributes Scores of 15. (pg. 9 DMG)!

Cracks me up every time I read it. I can only imagine Gary furiously banging away on his typewriter "fixing" the spell after some sort of shenanigans was pulled earlier in his game. 😆

For those that have an Instant Pot (IP), I have to share my new way of making quick carne asada inspired by the recipe I got here: 1.5 lb. Beef Chuck, cut in 3/4 in. squares 1 Cup of Beef Broth (I just use Better than Bouillon) 2 Tbsp. Butter Seasoning (your choice!) 1. Place cubes and broth...

Oh boy, how I love posting AD&D's version of Identify 😆 : "Identify (Divination) level: I Range: 0 Duration: I segment/level Area of Effect: One item Components: V, S, M Casting Time: I turn Saving Throw: Special Explanation/Description: When an identify spell is cost, one item may be touched...

@Dannyalcatraz Oh awesome! I had a feeling... I never heard of the genre until I picked up Slowdive's 2017 Self-Titled album and fell in love. I don't think that CD left my car for months. When I learned it was an entire genre from the 90's I was completely blown away. Been listening to...

Too cool. Totally understand. I'm curious about what gear and what genre now though! Shoegaze? Just getting into that...

Certainly for me. I prefer my OSR like RPGs to look and feel distant, ancient, and cold. B&W art is the perfect medium for that. Come to think of it, same is true with my favorite album art:
