Just got the paperback version of 3E. Love the simplicity! Haven't played it yet, but what a great system, and what an amazing bargain.

First things first: You should play what inspired you, lest the inspiration vanishes again.

But since you showed interest I'd still like to second WanderingBeekeper's opinion. WotC has been very hostile to small creators, people of colour and queer folks over the last years.

No need to get into the hobby's politics yet and obviously there's no harm in using stuff that's already been bought and paid for, but when it comes to spending money, there are many other options, many of which do not cost any money to start with and less than D&D going onwards.

Some free games suggestions:
has a lot less rules baggage allowing you to focus on the characters and their relationships and cool specials:

drivethrurpg.com/product/23836

does almost the opposite and the basic "Fighter" version is free too:

warehouse23.com/products/the-f

is a time-honoured veteran that can do pretty-much anything, including more realistic fantasy if that's your cup. The Lite version is free too:

warehouse23.com/products/gurps

has loads of free stuff and might be feel familiar for your friends that have been doing this for years or decades:

drivethrurpg.com/product/14045

is very flexible and can get pretty close to the feel of movies and over-the-top adventuring. It has a lot of free or pay-what-you-want resources and settings:

drivethrurpg.com/product/11490

Sorry for the wall of the text. That went longer than I intended. 😂​

For Tabletop Tuesday, I received print copies of these books in the mail today!

After a quick flip-through, I really like the re-purposing of the D&D rules to be concise and pared down. The first campaign book has some classic dungeon crawls to get the imagination started.

I think I'll be able to use these for a game where I'm running Keep on the Borderlands... 🤔

Basic Fantasy RPG creators needed art for a Clothing - Outerwear section in the Equipment Emporium supplement. I decided a tabard, a longcoat, and a cloak would be the most fun to draw for it.

I added some grey tones to this and I like how they came out! (the books are always printed in black and white so any art I create for the project will be the same)

I backed this for a supplement, and the nonsense threw it for a loop. Fortunately they're pressing ahead, but I think after this I'm done buying anything related to and . I'll focus on old school gaming, like . kickstarter.com/projects/event

If I were a creator, I'd shift my efforts to other game systems, like . already has so much as it is, and there's room for doing interesting things with other systems. Then again, you gotta go where there's money to be had.

There are alternatives to . is one folks might enjoy, and it could certainly use some enrichment in terms of backgrounds, classes, adventures, etc.

Whatever...just build on something that won't be screwed up by a for-profit corporation.

What's nice about using is that after the game, I can send the players a link to download the whole game for free.

Makes me feel like a real bigshot...

Just finished running my last one-shot for the year.

Ran my entry - Seer of Mendacium, using the rules.

Haven't run B/X in a while, and forgotten how surprisingly smoothly it runs.
