[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 9172814, member: 11760"] And the state of the art has changed a [I]lot[/I] since then, in part due to the unexpected success of 5E bringing a ton of focus back to the RPG space. 5E, even at the time, was not at the cutting edge of design. The last time D&D was at the cutting edge was probably 1974. 🤷‍♂️ Like I said, I played once, one of the Dracula Dossier adventures that had us trying to protect a journalist in North Africa, as I recall, before going to a dig site in Eastern Europe.
