As I noted, I was never scared off by the tables, but trying to work my way through Spacemaster character gen ended up dissuading me, and that's something given my general taste in RPGs always leaned into the crunchy.
Interested in checking out non-D&D fantasy "old school" ttrpgs

Almost all the AFF 2E books are available in POD, as well as the Warlock Returns fanzine.

So I bought two RPGs. One of them is Dragonbane Core Set, the other is Draw Steel Heroes. Yes I'm aware that DS isn't "old school," but I've had my eye on it for a while and figured that having an "old school" and "new school" fantasy RPG to peruse would make for a good balance.
Sorry for those who recommended other RPGs. I only have so much time to read and money to spend at once, but perhaps in the future I'll get around to checking out the others.

We were supposed to play, but the owner of the game never did a session. I might give it a look, for archeological purposes. I played RoleMaster once but the GM and one player kept disparaging AD&D, so I left the group.
The Swedish translation of MERP along with the then-current version of Drakar och Demoner were my first RPGs, which I got for Christmas back when I was a little baby gamer in 1985. MERP was a little more advanced than I was capable of at the time, but it was fascinating.- I.C.E's Middle Earth RPG is a classic of the era published in 1984.

Isn't Against the Darkmaster supposed to basically be the same game with the Tolkien stuff scrubbed off?
