This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What is the best hope for keeping Old School; Blood, Guts, & Glory D&D alive longterm

How are you going to support a game when you can't even spell its name right?

Doc gets a pass on that. Travel-ler isn't in the dictionary.

Plus, he could have spelled it Stars Without Number! :)

And WHERE THE HELL is a Living Traveller campaign??? I don't get why Mongeese didn't do one.

Quote from: Spinachcat;1092343I used to write AD&D tournaments for conventions. It was hard, but great fun, especially when my adventure got played by many dozens of players who jibba jabba'd about the good, the bad and the ugly of their 4 hour test of D&Dness for cool vendor prizes.

Have you written about this experience anywhere? How you approached the design of the adventure, what your priorities were, what was different in designing for a tournament rather than a conventional campaign, what surprising challenges there were, that sort of thing?

I'd love to read about it if you have/if you're willing, and in the spirit of preserving the hobby, that seems worthwhile to do.

Which is Traveller with a D&D character creation and combat system tacked on.

(I'm still wondering why he didn't include West End Game d6 Star Wars RPG because that sure as shit was old school.)

Mongoose did, and then abandoned it almost as soon as they started for reasons unknown. I have a little over 7Mb worth of files on Living Traveller that Mongoose put out (including 5 different versions of the Mongoose Living Traveller Sourcebook put out over a two year period, which may be why it fizzled).
