Better - but that, by itself ain't exactly a recipe for exciting combat.Not 5e. It's based on OGL, but loosely- hewing more towards OSR than d20.
Given that gamers tend to have Strong Opinions on our non-preferred systems, it's weird that DTRPG doesn't let you add negative search terms.Yeah, I have to admit I'd be happy to be able to easily screen out things that are either D&D5 based or PbtA based when skimming new stuff at DTRPG.
I'm a fan of Zozer Games!Just thought I would mention that today's Deal of the Day on Drivethru is 43 AD-Roleplaying Roman Britain by Paul Elliott of Zozer Games. It's marked down 50%, to $5 US. My understanding is that the system is the same as Zenobia, but I've long been interested in it for the background information on Roman Britain. I've just never quite got around to picking it up. This seems like a good occasion...

There’s always great sales on stuff I already have. I haven’t figured out if that’s because I have great taste or because I buy stuff no one else wants.Just thought I would mention that today's Deal of the Day on Drivethru is 43 AD-Roleplaying Roman Britain by Paul Elliott of Zozer Games.

That's a good suggestion. I read the first several of those novels some years ago; I'm not sure how many there are in the series. Ruth Downie's Medicus books are enjoyable for later in the history of the occupation, and I liked Pauline Gedge's Eagle and the Raven on Boudica's revolt. That would be a good setting for a Roman Britain game. Of course, there's also Rosemary Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth, though I've not read her stuff in decades.There is a lot of good info in that book on Roman Britain. If the topic interests you, you might check out Simon Scarrow's novel, think it was Under the Eagle, that follows a centurion in the invasion of Britannia

Yeah, but then they’d have to have categories like “Grognard Crap”, “Snowflake Safe”, and “Narrative Shitshow”.Given that gamers tend to have Strong Opinions on our non-preferred systems, it's weird that DTRPG doesn't let you add negative search terms.
Given nobody can agree what any of those mean, probably best to just mark every product as such and then randomly display one every time the product is looked at.Yeah, but then they’d have to have categories like “Grognard Crap”, “Snowflake Safe”, and “Narrative Shitshow”.
Any occasion to get 43 AD is a good one!Just thought I would mention that today's Deal of the Day on Drivethru is 43 AD-Roleplaying Roman Britain by Paul Elliott of Zozer Games.

No,though I've seen it. Ultimately, it's most likely that you would be the one to tell us his impression once you read it!
Yeah, I know. In fact, one can argue it's a cheaper use of an hour and a half - which is about what you'd need to read it, I suspect - than many others.You're probably right there AsenRG ! I'll stick it in the cart ready for later. It's not like it'll break the bank or anything.

And if you ever play it? Well, the price of a movie is significantly higher.
I can now see a dozen users starting to scour Drivethru to prove you wrong!For one of them I can only remember that it had two shades of blue and a very small amount of brown on the cover. Possibly some human figures. That's it. I remember nothing else. I guess that one is lost to me.

Or we could just flush all games not started in the 70’s, since there’s never any difference between them anyway.Given nobody can agree what any of those mean, probably best to just mark every product as such and then randomly display one every time the product is looked at.
The other was an OSR-type game (it mentioned Whitehack and Into The Odd as inspirations I think) in a Cyberpunk or techno-thriller setting (at least I think) with a Black and Red or Dark Pink cover. I think it was a fairly recent release and I know it wasn't Lowlife 2090. Anyone got a clue what the last one could be?!
Swords & Wizardry has the option of using either "descending" or "ascending" sales.Swords and wizardry shows as normally free, but is currently on sale for the discounted price of $1.
Well, it's not like we're all in a hurry! So whenever you get to it would be fine!AsenRG I picked up Nuked (alongside Mythic Babylon) yesterday evening. I don't know when I'll get chance to read it mind you.
Acapulco HEAT the RPG!
Sometimes, back in the day, I used to smoke weed and watch telenovelas. I don't even speak Spanish. It made me want to play an RPG based on Mexican soap operas.Acapulco HEAT the RPG!
I'm closing in on the end of my playthru of the NES version of Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, and I was trying to think of what I might play next. I'm thinking I want to have some more 80s CRPG fun, but I don't think I'm quite up to the task of some of the really big ones. That's when I recalled Legacy of the Ancients. It was one that I played back in the day and even completed. It's very console-like, very early Ultima-like. I was looking for some information, because I know I'll need the code-wheel and all that jazz. That was when I discovered there is an official D&D 5e worldbook for the game:

So... if this has an official RPG book, where's my adaptation of Roadwar 2000, Questron, and Phantasie?
It's a good job you weren't in a hurry really...Well, it's not like we're all in a hurry! So whenever you get to it would be fine!
