    One thing about this setting is that it must clearly have groats. I think missed a trick with the lack of coinage between penny and shilling.

  2. "Tucker's Kobolds" from 1987 is about giving weak monsters (honestly) excessive tricks including traps. It's a meme now, picked up on YouTube.

    Looking through editions, there are zero references to kobolds using traps before it. just says they are weaker than goblins, basically the crappest humanoid. has them just fighting. says they "ambush". All before 1987. But (1989) has heavy reference to traps for them. TSR eating their own memes.

  3. Are there any reasonably low fantasy s out there which, crucially, aren't Stonetop or Ironsworn? because those generally seem to be the only recommendations.

    I've been reading recently and I like it a lot but the playbooks feel (a) too overpowered and more importantly (b) too bog standard D&D. I could certainly write my own classes but, counterpoint, I don't want to. Different classes for Chasing Adventure would also work.
