[QUOTE="KJSEvans, post: 5425501, member: 89882"] Agreed. Omitting dragons from the HoB is probably the most controversial choice they made, but I think people will be happy in the end, assuming it doesn't take too long to put out the dragon's volume. My understanding is that Kenzer & Co want to make dragons about the biggest, baddest thing you can face, and rather than simply traveling to a lair and fight, PCs must run a gauntlet of cultists and other dragons' agents just for the chance. Some other folks have already answered in great detail, but Advanced HackMaster is totally compatible with HackMaster Basic. (They are basically the same game, but with a few elaborated-upon rules in Advanced.) You can play Basic with HoB monsters and have no problems. Additionally, as Treebore discussed, the rules are detailed but modular, and probably the closest "other game" they resemble is Aces & Eights. It's a cool system with a ton of potential ... I'm very excited to see what the Player's Handbook looks like. [/QUOTE]
