    “Kobold Press has our own fork of the D&D rules called Black Flag, which is free. … [It is] completely compatible with D&D, but the classes are a little stronger to give players an edge.”

    5e, being the superhero version of D&D, already favors the players, almost to the point of being unplayable. What more of an advantage do players need? Did someone look at B/X and decide “Let’s do the opposite?”

  2. If your game system requires software to run games or build characters, your game system is rules-bloated. #ttrpgs #ttrpg #dnd #osrrpg

  3. RE: ttrpg-hangout.social/@YUMDM/11

    AD&D2e is the edition where D&D went from a darker pulp fantasy tone to a lighter high fantasy tone. 2e was also the late 80s post-Satanic Panic edition where everything was scrubbed to make it palatable to the parents of 12 year olds. So while 2e is the improved streamlined AD&D1e in terms of rules (before the bloat of the Player/DM Options books), it definitely lost something trying to redeem its reputation in the eyes of people who didn’t play the game. #ttrpgs #dnd #adnd2e #ttrpg #osrrpg

    Cool! The first Scientific Barbarian annual is back in print. If you’re a fan of Mutant Crawl Classics or even the granddaddy of post apocalyptic #ttrpgs ,Gamma World, this is for you.

    Consulting Editor on this was the late great Tim Kask, the first paid employee of TSR Hobbies, the first editor of Dragon magazine and editor/contributor to original Dungeons & Dragons and AD&D1e.So you know it has the old school feel.
