In working on my own adaptation, I've found out that fusing the two makes D&D simpler and more story- and character-focused than it ever has been before, upping the role-play ante and smoothing over a lot of the rough bumps. Quite the opposite of what a lot of chicken littles are crying, actually. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The knight isn't even the worst offender, actually. The combat map is. The measurement of everything in a standard 5-ft increment, and the placement on this map being key to the conditions of victory is one of the most video-gamey things about D&D these days. And yet, even that has a long, storied history deep in D&D's roots as a wargame where strategic mastery of the battlefield is key to victory. Videogames started out ripping off D&D. It's about time D&D got it's due from videogames, too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
