I think some people include Holmes as Classic as well, and my house rules take what I consider the best bits of all three of those, plus some AD&D and WotC D&D bits that I like. But under the hood, it's the system I learned from Mentzer back in the 80s.

I am so “up in it” regarding this stuff that I have no awareness of just how jargon-laden and opaque my scribbling are.<br /><br />I don’t know if it’s “brilliant” (or even “well thought out”) but I’m definitely speaking to a very specific branch of the hobby. I am SURE that the bulk that f players/GMs give absolutely NO SHITS about this stuff...but it’s where my head’s out recently. I really appreciate you (and everyone else) taking the time to read these truly insane posts.<br />: )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-91768141569770878412021-05-15T10:26:29.205-07:002021-05-15T10:26:29.205-07:00It is posts like this and the situations that said...It is posts like this and the situations that said posts describe that make come back again and again and fascinate me beyond measure.<br /><br />The reason: It's like another language. It's like someone speaking English in a combination regional accent and slang terminology that renders it impossible for me to understand while being fully aware that I too speak the same base language. <br /><br />None of this makes any sense to me but it is so well thought out and reasoned that I have to assume it is brilliant.

Many times, in researching the DL stuff, it's felt like someone's home OD&D campaign...a campaign in which the DM stopped collecting rulebooks after "Greyhawk" (supplement I).<br /><br />I also think that the lower x.p. need and power level of "classic" editions works well with scope and feel of the DL world. Personally, I could probably get on-board running a "true DL campaign" (using steel pieces and draconians and missing gods, etc.) if the DM was committed to running it with OD&D...the game is open-ended enough that the whimsical nature of the setting doesn't grate nearly as bad as trying to run an Oh So Serious "advanced" campaign. <br />: )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-1640420798750084532021-05-15T08:01:34.686-07:002021-05-15T08:01:34.686-07:00Still not enough, Sean, but thanks for the laugh.

And you're right, definitely not enough treasure. So I've been modifying, increasing the challenge of some of the monsters since I originally thought 3rd to 4th level PCs would explore the ruins but now they're mostly 5th to 6th, and also adding in a LOT more treasure. Also, since (as I think I mentioned) my group's PCs are already packing a lot of magical weaponry, I've been switching many of those for other magic items, or at least changing swords to more varied weapons.
