So very true. I've never been happier gaming wise honestly. I was at a Starbucks in San Antonio listening to one of the baristas talk about how much fun they were having playing D&D to a group of excited teens (with the same pink/purple hair I poked fun at above) and I loved every second of that...

I'm still trying to understand it myself, honestly. New D&D editions have been the most exciting moments of my life since I started playing 30 years ago. Most of the art throughout the years I've loved, but 4E was a great example of me not really liking the art, so I ignored it and had a blast...

Not going to lie, I'd actually pay extra to get a nice hardback version with no art.

It's two normal issue lengths combined (so it comes out every other month now) for $15. Pretty expensive and my FLGS has a hard time finding bags and boards that fit it. Writing is still top notch though. Also it's the only comic I read, so don't feel too bad splurging.

Hoody-Hoo! Are you still reading them? I'm still getting used to the new format...

They really do put out some nice books, just expensive. Ebay has a few copies for around $100. Seems like too much, but I paid around $80 for mine 10 years ago, so not wildly overpriced. That's one of the reasons I was excited about this BoH: HackMaster's major barrier of entry is definitely...

Sorry, was away from the computer. My Hackmaster 4E books are some of my most prized possessions. I absolutely adore everything about them. The fact they have an entire book that's just tables upon tables of monster info blows my mind. The "XP to HackFactor" ratio that's calculated for every...

Have you every read or played HM5E?

Anyone who loves AD&D and who really loves crunchy rules, Hackmaster is on Bundle of Holding on deep discount! This game gets so much right... where to start? Maybe that anytime I see a post in the vein of, "I like D&D, but I don't like...", I almost always think to myself, "Hackmaster fixes...

You're playing AD&D all wrong! /jk :giggle: Crazy about the Ranger. That seems like that shouldn't be an issue to make a simple trap.

@Proma Did you mean to just re-post the OP?

Gary Jackson, is that you? Seriously though, cool post. This sort of attitude is exactly what is needed to get D&D back on track being a real game again.

Hey! Personally I love it. Despite owning dozens and dozens of RPG systems, this one in particular sees the most play at the moment. This is the system I bring out when I just want to do a straight-up dungeon crawl, especially if there is new players that are interested. This is due to how...

What an odd way to market this game... Taking jabs at the very people that "inspired" your ruleset comes across as a little mean spirited, no?

Oh right, I completely forgot. Shadowdark gets lots of B/X and 5E clone comments, but I'm thinking a better way of describing it to people is the "0D&D version of DCC" maybe?

Was Black Hack the originator of the "roll to cast" rule? So very, very true! One of the reasons I'm upset with C&C is they went from Lv 12 to 24 in the core rule set. :confused:

I'm a softy, so house-ruled all spells get to work at least once before losing them. This is to keep the torch mechanic relevant to all players. Shadowdark is not meant to replace any of those more robust systems; it's soul focus is quick dungeon delving, just like you pointed out. It's for...
