I ran AD&D pretty easily, thanks to spending every spare moment reading and re-reading those books as a young gamer.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-42407605230488095692018-01-09T08:53:53.130-05:002018-01-09T08:53:53.130-05:00I'd play it, but I doubt I'd run it.

I downloaded the PDF, and I'll give a read through.<br /><br />This is really just idle thinking - like I said, I'd have to trade off something else gaming-wise to play a different system. But I am really interested in your MW setting and what you've done for it rules-wise.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-10787045282983336472018-01-06T23:10:38.402-05:002018-01-06T23:10:38.402-05:00Interesting as I am working a follow up to my Maje...Interesting as I am working a follow up to my Majestic Wilderlands supplement. Basically in the years since I kept on running campaigns and now I have more material. Enough that if I formatted it that way it would be it own rule system. My plan it to release it as a series of supplement to Swords & Wizardry.<br /><br />What may make it of interest to you is that most of my modifications are in line with three out of the four points in your list. I don't replicate the B/X Morale rules. Instead I just have the creatures make a save, and if they have stats they can add in their Wisdom bonus.<br /><br />I did however compile a basic booklet. <br />http://www.batintheattic.com/downloads/MW%20Majestic%20Fantasy%20Basic%20RPG%20Rev%2008.pdf<br /><br />Anything not in there just use either Swords & Wizardry Core or Swords & Wizardry Complete.<br /><br />And it 100% open content under the OGL.<br /><br />If you want access to everything I been working send me an email or a Google Plus message.<br /><br />Hope this is useful.<br /><br />Robert Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863009007381185340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-5442370553196465892018-01-06T18:14:44.905-05:002018-01-06T18:14:44.905-05:00My struggle with OSRIC is that it's AD&D, ...My struggle with OSRIC is that it's AD&D, but without me having memorized where everything is and what it does. Plus, I'm not certain I'd agree on what the "good bits" of Unearthed Arcana are. So it feels like AD&D but with more work.<br /><br />I could convert adventures to 5e, but I've only played D&D5 a few times and GMed it zero times. I'd be less comfortable converting and much more comfortable with just starting from scratch with my own materials.<br /><br />This is why I looked at other options for running White Plume Mountain and then just went with <a href="http://dungeonfantastic.blogspot.com/2017/04/why-ad.html" rel="nofollow">99% straight-up by the book AD&D</a>.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-20509119874922319872018-01-06T13:05:55.588-05:002018-01-06T13:05:55.588-05:00Sounds like you should GM OSRIC - it includes the ...Sounds like you should GM OSRIC - it includes the good bits of Unearthed Arcana. :)<br /><br />Either that or just convert adventures to 5e.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173759805310975320noreply@blogger.com
