I get your point about D&D being recognisable to more potential players, and the customisability of the simple early game mechanics. I've always been a d100 player by preference, I kind of have a view of Chaosium's games, with their deep settings and very mortal PCs as being "thinking persons" RPGs, with no room for adolescent power fantasies/murder hoboism. They also seem to have a lot less SJW tomfoolery going on. I think the real sticking point for me was that class and level doesn't equate to anything in the real world, skill based character progress does - I must be due a check on Compose (Comment) for writing these long replies, for sure!Mr Ballistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555726545137232408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-594261948408058362018-12-29T10:47:55.533-03:002018-12-29T10:47:55.533-03:00Pundit is addicted to the D20.

And he's also right, a lot of people play some version of D&D. <br /><br />D100 (just like d6 dice pools) can still be OSR, but popularity is diminished. Ours is a terribly small industry, sadly.

It's one of my favorites after D&D. <br />The thing is, I think that (especially within the design framework of the OSR) D&D can do so many things and it's the best known game - and thus the one most gamers will be comfortable trying out in variant form- that it is the way to go for designing product. <br /><br />I think L&D do medieval-authentic at least as good, if not better, than the best version of this you could do with D100 (which was done, btw, as Aquelarre, a Spanish d100 RPG which was an influence on Albion).<br /><br />RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-47009651064875550242018-12-28T16:41:58.343-03:002018-12-28T16:41:58.343-03:00Here's something I'd be interested in hear...Here's something I'd be interested in hearing about, and I don't know if there's a video's worth of material to be had from it, or if the answer would be quick and simple, but after following your blog and YouTube videos for a while I'm kind of curious as to why it is that you play D&D. Not why you roleplay but why you've stuck with D&D as your RPG of choice. Here's why: You recently did a video about disabilities/serious injury for PC's - RuneQuest and WFRP have had that going on for decades. You're well versed in mythology and wrote a nice valedictory for Greg Stafford. RuneQuest is steeped in mythology, it's kind of its raison d'etre. L&D/Dark Albion shows your interest in late mediaeval history with a fantasy twist. WFRP was there years ago. I get the impression you like your players to play authentically in a mediaeval setting. Pendragon's traits and passions motivated exactly that. <br /><br />Why aren't you a d100 fanboy? That family of games strikes me as pure Pundit in a way D&D doesn't. This isn't an attack of any sort, I genuinely read/listen to you and a lot of the time I'm thinking "if Pundit played Runequest I'm sure he'd be as happy as an SJW with a story game.Mr Ballistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555726545137232408noreply@blogger.com
