[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 9388107, member: 32164"] I like a lot of what I see with DCC (I love roll to cast and "Mighty Deeds of Arms"), but I have three big issues with it: 1) The Zocchi dice: I'm not buying a whole bunch of new dice to play a new game system. Just not happening. I generally think Advantage is more elegant. 2) I can't stand having to constantly reference tables. DCC leans into that a bit too much for my tastes. 3) "Racial Classes" is something I hate with a passion. It was my first houserule in B/X, almost before I played it. Part of that was that the person who first taught us to make characters (using the Moldvay Basic set I got in 1981) had an AD&D PHB at home and didn't fully understand the B/X "Dwarf," "Elf," & "Halfling" Classes. And even before we got our own set, I was a precocious little kid who had made characters and played a couple sessions with an OD&D set (either White Box or Holmes Basic, not sure which) that one of my older sister's friends had. My memory is a little fuzzy on which edition it was. I convinced my folks to get us the 3 core AD&D books almost immediately and was playing a weird hybrid of the two games from the beginning. What can I say? I was 9. [/QUOTE]
