In my YouTube channel, I only review or mention products or game rules that I've played or at least own and read cover to cover. I've been a big fan of Old-Schoo Essentials for 2+ years, and recently got Shadowdark (and love it). I'm also a BECMI grognard who cut his teeth on the purple box Basic Set (Moldvay) and AD&D.

Should I get Dolmenwood and add that to the mix? Is it different enough to be worth the time/expense?

Having been a but a wee lad in the early #80s my first #DnD was the #BECMI boxed sets. I didn't get to play much, but I read and reread those things constantly.

One thing I still don't really jive with is the demi-human classes. I mean, if you were looking for who stole the gems, well, don't bother with the elves -- they can't be thieves and don't have thief skills!

So, #BasicFantasy is *chef's kiss* for me. Separate classes and races. And also, no alignment?! Woo!

Question for DM/GM/CKs on combat verisimilitude: do you penalize PCs carrying all their gear? Do you encourage players to drop their stuff? #dnd #lotfp #adnd #osr #ose #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #bfrpg #moldvay #becmi #bx
