Re: Very sorry to announce the loss of Kayolan

I'll miss him a lot. We'd sometimes stay on after a game and talk til dawn about the minutiae of RPG history, about philosophy, etc. He had lots of diverse interests. He could talk your ear off. I've been on opposite and same side of the GM screen with him many times over the years. I wonder if I st...

Treasure Generator

I plan to take down my treasure generator (at https://www.rpggrognard.com/treasure) at some point in the future, not necessarily immediately but pretty soon. I am reconsidering my hosting and domains and whether I need them anymore, and I think a CK is always going to do a better job just putting wh...

We switched to a mashup of Astonishing Swordsman & Sorcerors of Hyperborea and Labyrinth Lord, since they've finally come out with a combined book for that.
That sounds kinda awesome. Where is it?

Details are on Discord. It's Swords and Wizardry, around 5th level to start, in the Lost Lands.
As for Penny's game, I'm not sure when she'll have another installment ready.

Re: Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls Bundle of Holding

It's probably a great game for chat because of the roll-a-million-dice-and-compare combat. Spells and missiles are counted separately IIRC, and now there is "spite damage" so you need to see how each die landed, but definitely faster than the D&D pattycake.

Well, for $100, you are getting digest versions of seven of the normal-sized books; that isn't a bad deal. I know less about their OD&D-like books.

Re: Kickstarter - Digest, etc.

It's kind of a neat idea. I am not sure my eyes could take it, and I have multiples of many of the books by now. If my eyes were better and I didn't own anything yet I'd surely consider it. I do like the black and white; if it's crisp that's a selling point. What I'd really like is a hardcover case-...

The system itself ... is different. If I played it or ran it, it would take some getting used to. The player does ALL of the rolling of dice. It is all roll against the challenge set by the DM. Everything, both attack (roll & beat the opponent's defense rating) and defense (roll and get above t...
