I used to lurk on a bunch of OSR blogs years ago, and yours was one I always enjoyed.<br /><br />It's cool seeing a copy of my adventure here (The Dark Vale - I'm Bret, the author). George and I always appreciated the kind words you had (and still have) for our stuff at DCG.<br /><br />I am a little disappointed on the shift to 1.5 inch hexes. As you say above, the footprint increases by 50% - not quite so compact anymore. Not a huge deal, though.<br /><br />Take care, man!<br /><br />Bret Mister Frau Blucherhttps://swordsunderdistantsuns.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-74076841831235039412018-08-02T07:10:40.217-06:002018-08-02T07:10:40.217-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ChoiceGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02438467866952852066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-90523729013175554372018-07-28T19:49:06.538-06:002018-07-28T19:49:06.538-06:00Yes, I have Barbarians of Lemuria, its a great lit...Yes, I have Barbarians of Lemuria, its a great little game.<br /><br />Looking forward to TFT, though i'm bummed that they jettisoned the 1" hexes. I was looking forward to some dungeon crawls using the 1" dry erase hex sheets, and moving those to 1.5" is going to increase the real estate on the table, which means taking elements off earlier as the dungeon crawl progresses.Aaron E.

Thanks for your comments on D&D 5e. I bought the PHB and I have to say it's a decent read but I agree there's still too much rules overhead. I think I'll stick to TFT if I want a tactical RPG. I'm also looking into Barbarians of Lemuria which is a fairly rules-light Swords and Sorcery RPG. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but it looks good.Chris Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936154288030276015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-31491148884316891452018-07-27T12:13:23.101-06:002018-07-27T12:13:23.101-06:00Glad to be back!

My son plays 5e at least weekly and the combats (or at least my perception of them) go on far too long. Also, my preferred campaign style is low magic, gritty dark ages type settings, and most 5e players are expecting spell-on-demand, magic shops and other high fantasy, monty-haul approaches. I like settings were there are multiple sessions to obtain one magic item, and the magic item is similar to the actifacts from original/1st edition DnD - wielding the item comes with serious negative consecquences.<br /><br />I've made a kickstarter pledge for TFT and i'm very much interested in getting a TFT campaign started once the game is released. TFT is my preferred old-school rules system. TFT combats are fast and tactical, and the role-playing rules overhead is very light.Aaron E.

Then I saw you on the SJgames forums. It's quite an exciting time with TFT coming back after all this time.<br /><br />Curious about your comment on D&D 5E. I've not played any edition since 1st, but this once seems well regarded. What don't you like about it?<br /><br />Good to see you back.Chris Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936154288030276015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-22623591603754986062018-07-25T14:00:57.769-06:002018-07-25T14:00:57.769-06:00Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

My blog has been dark for a while, but I have been OSR-lurking, and busy for the last two years with twice-weekly games of Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. It's been my role-playing substitute, since i'm uninterested in 5e and there don't seem to be any F2F old-school games running in my neck of the woods.<br /><br />The Fantasy Trip Kickstarter has me pretty pumped, i'm hoping to get a TFT game running at my FLGS. Typically my FLGS will only support gaming where the game is in-print from a mainstream publisher. With TFT being published by SJG and with a retailer pledge level, i'm hoping this will be my opportunity to run a TFT game at the gamestore.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by. Hope things are well with you!Aaron E.

The kickstarter seems intriguing. <br /><br />Mainly I just wanted to say it's great to hear from you again! Martin R. Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672657745232101753noreply@blogger.com
