A new edition of Old School Essentials has been announced for next year. Necrotic Gnome will (finally) get rid of the classic/advanced split and consolidate everything in a Player's Book and a Referee Book. Following a common trend for many clone games, this new edition will no longer use the...

For D&D, I want a baseline general book with plenty of different types of monsters. Then, for further expansion, I much prefer setting-specific or thematic collections.

On further thought, monsters that fail their morale checks could simply disappear and thus it would not be necessary to move them on the map.

There is also no morale for monsters. They all fight to the death. This is typical for computer games, but it would have been nice to see this old-school feature here. I guess it is much simpler to code fixed encounters in specific locations.

There's a demo available on Steam. I've just completed it. I found it quite nice. It is extremely close to Basic D&D with ascending AC. If you like old school dungeons, give it a try.

I think it depends on the surface. If it's impossible to climb, they fall. If it requires a check, they have to make one or fall. If it doesn't normally require a check, they just stay up there.

Of course, and I've always been an inveterate house-ruler. But since we are discussing GURPS and not everyone reading might be familiar with the rules I thought it might be useful to point it out. I might have been less assertive, though.

Yes, but what is the weapon-vs-AC-adjustment for attacking with a halberd a target wearing a hauberk?

I'm pleasantly surprised by this. I thought that the project was dead.

Just after GURPS Vehicles...

AD&D GURPS Traveller BRP

What do you think about paladins? From reading them, it seems to me that they are less powerful, but more versatile. However, I've not yet played with the 2024 rules.

I've backed this as soon as I saw the announcement...

Wandering Cities also looks interesting to me, but I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of a digital version.

It does look very intriguing. Even though it will be hard for me to get a chance to play it, I'll back the campaign.
