BECMI is Old School

[Kersus]

SCHWA is awesome. A little backwardsee, but awesome. If the twitter die-roller would handle the system easier, I'd run that. I had really wanted something simple, but OSRIC won out as that was what it was designed to use. Already it's causing issues for the newbie gamer who knows twitter well but has never played AD&D (some Lejendary Adventure, SCHWA, and maybe a few others) but he still finds gaming a foreign thing. What was cool is how he always tried completely crazy things with LA and my eyes would open wide knowing it was a good idea and then set me to figuring out how to adjudicate it.

Here's the key. What made RPGs so much damn fun when we were kids, or when we were first introduced to it, was the element of mystery. Not only did we not know what was behind the door, we didn't know what could possibly be behind that door, and we didn't even know what to roll to find out.

d24. Always d24.

I think those few sentences would make a good signature.
