[QUOTE="aboyd, post: 4986870, member: 44797"] Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but there is one or two things about old school that I didn't like, and I believe I found a system that caters to my tastes. Specifically, I *really* enjoyed the 3rd edition (and now 4th edition) "unified d20 mechanic." That is, bigger numbers are always better, and AC goes up (instead of into the negatives). That sooooo simplified things for me. Even my son when he was 5 could understand it. Also, for most old school clones that adhere to the originals accurately, "elf" is a class. I didn't like the idea of races being classes. So having said all of that, I believe that [url=http://www.basicfantasy.org/main.html]BFRPG (Basic Fantasy Role Playing Game)[/url] has both the "bigger is better" d20 mechanic, as well as keeping races & classes separate. However, other than those 2 changes, I understand that it's mostly a clone of 1st edition. Thus, most old modules would be compatible. Of course, I should note that while my experience & love for 3.5 edition is hands-on and practical, my love for BFRPG is all book-learning and theoretical. I haven't played it, haven't even read most of it recently. So I may have details wrong. Note that even though the site features a photo of the printed books, it is available on the site legally for free as a PDF download. [/QUOTE]
