As for the SRD stuff, yeah, I can see that too. I deliberately didn't do a line-by-line comparison with B/X because I figured it needs to stand on its own merits. But it's good - it keeps what I like about Moldvay Basic while bringing in some stuff I liked about AD&D and what I saw of 2nd edition and 3.0/3.5 D&D. With the AEC, it's the OSR clone that I would have made if I ever really did sit down and "upgrade" B/X to the game I'd want to play.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-68204352900957687962012-01-05T14:42:33.757-05:002012-01-05T14:42:33.757-05:00I love this book, and not just for the content.

I know you mentioned that the art is only so-so, but personally I really dig Steve Zieser's art.<br /><br />There are some oddities. For example, look at the armor list and compare it to B/X D&D. These divergences start to make sense though once one realizes that it is derived from the D20 SRD, even though it is supposed to play like B/X.Necropraxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716340801054739658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-87827557868223840752012-01-04T21:53:03.413-05:002012-01-04T21:53:03.413-05:00@Carter - Thanks, you are right I missed that.

I did catch one small factual error, though: In LL, clerics do get one first-level spell at first level (see LL p. 9).Carter Soleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286436801953647693noreply@blogger.com
