[QUOTE="radferth, post: 4498402, member: 5791"] If, by 1E feel, they mean the following things Orcus has outlined: 1) Greater differentiation between classes 2) Combat rules less towards the miniatures-skirmish-game end of the spectrum 3) PCs start with a lower set of abilities, then, yes, I would likely be interested. That being said, I am assuming even the revised GSL would not allow them to publish this; as everything I have heard from WotC leads me to believe they are trying to craft a license that would allow modules, but not new games (e.g. yes to Dungeon Crawl Classics, no to the 4e versions of Conan d20 and True 20). I hope I am wrong about this, as I would love to see what variants folks would come up with. Side note to Tome of Horror fans: I agree its a great monster book. I do find it odd that while many illustrations in ToH that were of monsters originally appearing in the 1E Fiend Folio were amazing improvements (e.g the eye killer), any of the illustrations that were of real creatures (or their giant-sized versions) generally bore little resemblance to the real-life versions (e.g. false spider). I have to wonder if they even knew some of them were gaming versions of real creatures. [/QUOTE]
