Other D&D Variant Nimble RPG "The Sunless Citadel" recaps

I have been converting the 3e Sunless Citadel to the Nimble RPG. I guess it's D&D adjacent? It started as a 5e mod but morphed into its own game. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a change of pace from 5e. The combat loop is completely different than 5e. I don't know if it is better necessarily, but it IS faster. The "feel" of the game is still heroic though, same as 5e, and the power level seems equivalent. I doubt I would enjoy Nimble by 10th level either, same as D&D, because they become superheroes. But the low level stuff? It works fine. Nimble has an active Discord community and the creator chimes in often. There's tons of free homebrew and more material in the pipeline. Adapting any adventure is not difficult, but the monster and PC statblocks are not 1:1 so they do take some thought. Simplified statblocks was a design goal though, and monsters are generally much easier to run than 5e.

Here are some of the recaps so far. If you have specific questions about the system itself, feel free to ask.
