They just didn’t care what the system was as much as getting to the heart of play. I dropped in a couple of Pits and Perils Rules (most notably movement rates and 2d6 saves when I couldn’t be bothered to look up what the save was). They left telling me they’re play any system as long as it was fast.mjuliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710248588764690217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372464286852637246.post-1793168383943691752019-09-04T05:35:55.166-07:002019-09-04T05:35:55.166-07:00It takes a while for some people to shift their pe...It takes a while for some people to shift their perspective from the "content tourism" of later editions to the player-driven earlier editions.

Only one had any pre 3.5 experience (2nd edition) and only I was excited by my 100% accurate clone of a system that none in the room had heard of. Oh well.mjuliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710248588764690217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372464286852637246.post-69113270278065509242019-09-03T20:35:29.178-07:002019-09-03T20:35:29.178-07:00There are so many great combinations possible!There are so many great combinations possible!Olde House Ruleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672388784118015345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372464286852637246.post-40311048429625312532019-09-03T20:34:56.195-07:002019-09-03T20:34:56.195-07:00Robyn contributed, so it's our system...Robyn contributed, so it's our system...Olde House Ruleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672388784118015345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372464286852637246.post-40725036184508351092019-09-03T15:15:34.969-07:002019-09-03T15:15:34.969-07:00Hey how come you speak in the first person plural?...Hey how come you speak in the first person plural?Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372464286852637246.post-60258212255438288582019-09-03T15:15:20.157-07:002019-09-03T15:15:20.157-07:00Good job making an important distinction.

It is it’s own thing with a pedigree that evokes 1974. <br /><br />My game is close enough to the old games to need the OGL and be FLAILSNAILS compatible, but it’s not a clone. It draws from 0e, Holmes and Arensonian d&d with a few modern ideas. Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.com
