This is a heck of a product. Very true to REH (if that's a good thing

The combat system is OGL, but different. It has two types of "AC's" that are your 'chance to be hit.' One type is a dodge-type the other is a parry-type. Armor only reduces damage. I think a lot of gamers have been looking for a system like this for a long time.

... Armor only reduces damage. ..

I have always been intrigued by this idea! Hopefully we will get some good play feedback on this aspect of the game...

Naw, I put it here because it's a general discussion about that particular new type of combat system.

Personally, I hope it stays. I'm sure I have missed some really good discussion on similar topics ( AU, Midnight etc... ) due to my infrequent visiting of the OGL forum.

It's how the LotR RPG works.

From what I've heard this is pretty much the Game I've been waiting for. Gritty, grim D&D, with Magic as a difficult, unpredictable and mysterious force...rather than the Standard D&D "Magic as Technology" trope.

Agreed, I can't wait to get my hands on this tomorrow at my FLGS.

minor details, pretty please?

Say, like, a table of contents.

Oh! And how is the low tech goodness presented? Bronze Agey, "You have a steel sword?! Gimme!" goings on?
