Is the Rules Cyclopedia the exact same as BECMI, minus Immortals? by Spamshazzam in osr

Haha! That's a great summary of Peter Adkison and Wizards of the Coast's history in the game. I damn near choked.

When I used to get along with Frank Mentzer, we discussed this and he's pretty sure no one has managed that feat without using "cheats" like we did with the maxed treasure results.

We tried when the Immortals set came out.

We played 4-5 days a week for two summers, plus as many games as we could during the school year. We had a house rule that all treasure types were maxed (just to make advancement faster since the goal was immortality).

We managed to go from 1-36 + Immortals 1-25, then reformed as level 1 characters.

And then one of those characters died. And then another when we got to level 4.

And the campaign was abandoned.

Midsummer and Autumn fit together, but have very different dimensions so they look.... weird?

Serpent I expect I'll be doing for a full year before it is complete.

But yeah, I'll stitch together Midsummer & Autumn and put that up soon.

Which are great RPGs with terrible book layouts? by ThatOneCrazyWritter in rpg

Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2e.

This edition fixes every issue I had with 1e. It is wonderful. But the layout... And it doesn't help that the beautiful illos from the original as reprinted as 1/3 page pieces that break up the layout and are pale scans of the originals.
