Even if a session isn't happening, players can be talking with the GM about what their characters are up to in downtime.•At least some PC's are not mere adventurers, but leaders of NPC or monster factions who can do things like move troops around and hire adventuring PC's for quests.•In all other respects, they are using 1st Edition AD&D rules completely rules-as-written. Even the parts that are stupid, confusing, or tedious. They take great pride in this.That's my understanding based on reading Jeffeo Johnson's blog and watching <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_z29m150g5pF-58Np0vhDyqxMapISXay&si=jY7Tumac9me0mdla" target="_blank">this YouTube playlist.</a> But, it's also an outsider's perspective because they seem to organize it all on Twitter and I refuse to spend more than thirty seconds there.The "BR" is both a pun (bro....) and a  reference to <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunstein_(game)" target="_blank">Braunstein</a>.</blockquote>
