[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6744773, member: 6696971"] That is actually pretty brilliant. I suspect that you're correct that folks mean "familiar" when they say "lite". It does double duty as it eases communication and explains quite a bit of edition war and general D&D culture phenomena. Worth my time? Maybe not. But again, these are long-time pals so its been a project I've been angling at for some time (to sate my curiosity if nothing else). However, while it is serving to introduce these guys to different games, it iis also serving to introduce new folks to the hobby (both the sort of old school D&D I've run since a lad, the heroic fantasy version of Dungeon World, and other systems/genres with Dogs and MHRP). The games I run are either for a long term stable of characters for house ruled AD&D (level of dungeon varying and characters varying depending on dungeon level) or little one-offs of B/X. Two of these guys started off with OD&D (of which I have never run). One of them has a home RC game he runs. [/QUOTE]
