I'm an old B/X D&D nostalgia guy. And while game design influences play at the table, an engaging game also needs a good gamemaster and a setting that encourages exploring non-combat solutions to challenges.Peter Schweighoferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572819535383879995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-56509488806229456572022-01-19T15:08:24.255-05:002022-01-19T15:08:24.255-05:00Thanks Narmer.

Streamlined and closer to the original D & D, leaving more for interpretation by the DM / GM, and making it far less rules-lawyer oriented [ala 3.5].<br /><br />I have constructed a campaign [not quite play ready yet - thank you COVID-19] based on the tripartite of Harn as a world, 5th edition as a mechanic and Fantasy Grounds Unlimited for the virtual table top.LaViaStrangiatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273551398217250038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-6927632366720336852022-01-18T16:03:35.521-05:002022-01-18T16:03:35.521-05:00I'm looking forward to what you come up with f...I'm looking forward to what you come up with for your setting.
