I.E., one that would let me grab a 2e book off the shelf and play with it, but with the goal of improving weaknesses in key areas."Core" or not is quibblable, perhaps pointless in a fan product. But again, with the aim of "playing my favorite 2e products with a perfected game", I think that races that appeared in those 2e products would be needful (like Tieflings for Planescape).It would be difficult, but those books were some of my faves... when appreciably houseruled. But that might be an "add on" product.I think kits were central enough to the 2e experience that they should be there. Perhaps simplified a bit.Fixes, yes.Flip a coin. It's be easier to use existing product with downward scaling... but then, a quick conversion rule might work best. If you have an on-the fly conversion rule, you may be really having your cake and eating it too (frex, create a "target number" that is equal to 10-AC, or somesuch.AFAIAC, what made 2e was the settings. I don't see the fans rewriting existing settings, which is why I could see a "compatible but perfected" approach being of interest.But perhaps we could continue the tradition and make more offbeat settings.</blockquote>
