[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 9839525, member: 58416"] [B][/B] At some point, I will likely pick up the Advanced OSE set, as it sounds as though I will still get a lot of use out of that even with other things that I play. I prefer the smaller booklet format, so I hope that's still an option for Advanced. I vaguely recall seeing a comment that it may not be for 2026. I understand consolidating Basic and Advanced because it honestly was a little confusing to figure out what I needed to buy, but I find that I much prefer the boxrd format with the smaller booklets. I'm mainly looking at trying to convert monsters. DCC offers quite a bit already, but I have a lot of creature and monster books that cover specific niches in more detail. Also, for trying to guess at which old D&D adventures are best suited for a particular level of DCC characters, it's nice to know. I neither expect nor necessarily want perfect "balance," but there's still value in having some general idea about what the characters can reasonably handle. I'm less interested in extra damage (in the way that modern damage does it) than I am in extra effects. I could try to incorporate either the DCC tables or something from one of the other games I play. Something to spice up rolling a 20 for some of the players that I have. I will take a look at those. Thank you. On the weekends, there's a guy at one of the flea markets near me who has a bunch of old D&D stuff for sale. Honestly, most of it is in rough shape (so wouldn't be worth much of anything got collectors,) but it's still okay enough to be readable and usable. Honestly, I kinda like that they're a little beat up because that makes me feel less guilty if I need to highlight something or make a note in a margin. Most recently, I bought [I]N1 - Against the Cult of the Reptile God. [/I] [/QUOTE]
