And one thing 3E CAN'T deliver in, is one-line stat blocks in published materials. It also has a much tighter integration between class ability and magic ownership than previous games, due to the readjustment of the XP scales to equivalence, IMO.Also, it cannot satisfy all people at all times. No game system can. So if 1E-preferred players can have an outlet where they can publish and share NEW materials with the style and feel of the older systems, and possess a system that Gary Gygax can get his ideas to print in a relatively "unbastardized" form, then more power to them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />no. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Davis Chenault:Thanks for dropping in. I plan to keep up on this project as much as possible, because I am very interested in seeing it, and what I consider the ultimate fruit of it: Gary and Rob's castle come to life. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I'm just sorry I never got in on the playtesting part. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
