Yeah, I loved HM4e but was turned off by the official forums. I remember once being hopeful for an edited PH with the errata in hardcover.
If it wasn't so hard to teach a complete newbie, i'd probably go back to it. I really enjoyed a Hacked Holmes D&D I ran years ago (starting with a C&C adventure I hacked up).
It was the humour that I loved. The parody. I was so disappointed they could never embrace it. In the end I wonder if WOTC is what made it great since they insisted on the parody.
Heh, I recall posting the Aardvarkian as a player race, albeit a fairly weak one compared to the official races and was hounded for a long time because I wanted to add something like that to my personal game.
This forum in no small way came from the HackMaster mailing list I ran for years. The company I started with got bought out twice before eventually being snagged by Yahoo.
Ah, the memories.
I still flip through Aldrazar and the Pixie Fairy books from time to time.
I've never tried 5e.
I put together a very rough sourcebook for OSRIC essentially turning it into HM but never tested it. I'm not even sure where my notes went.
