[Interest Check] The Forbidden Caverns Of Archaia - B/X With Adv LL
Another Greg Gillespie adventure-slash-mega dungeon using a house ruled B/X mashed with Advanced Labyrinth Lord created by Gillespie himself. Play the system used to run the original Barrowmaze, Dwarrowdeep, and Highfell. The rules are familiar to anyone who has played B/X and DnD 1e. Character generation is the same. Advanced LL no art pdf is available for free. I’ve been busy behind the scenes getting things organized to post on supporting sub-threads.
Looking for a handful of players who can get along, play well, and commit to playing a long, long campaign. If it comes down to just one player till things get rolling, that’s cool with me and I’ll modify things (scale down opponents, add NPC characters) till the roster builds up. I want to see this work.
C’mon, fellow Grogs, you know you’ve got room for one more game.

This is the rulebook you're referring to, correct?grokkngrognard wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 6:57 am Another Greg Gillespie adventure-slash-mega dungeon using a house ruled B/X mashed with Advanced Labyrinth Lord created by Gillespie himself.

Is this a race as class system?
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

No. Most boilerplate classes typical of 1e are listed. Races have certain classes/stat requirements/level caps. A new race unique to the setting, cyclopsmen, is available as well.

Ah, so the actual rules being used are these (and the LL AEC are just a close substitute):
Here is the project trailer on YouTube: Dragonslayer RPG Release Trailer (1:34)
There's a really good review by Vo on the Sampler page, which I'll just copy here to save people from needing to switch sites:

I will be willing to give it a shot

I will say, I do like the character sheet:
Re: [Interest Check] The Forbidden Caverns Of Archaia - B/X With Adv LL
I am only to the 'Dragonslayer: Six Tenets' section (which is one of the first), and I'm a big fan -- so far.
Emphasis mine.Who's in Control wrote:The key to success is to keep dice out of the hands of the Maze Controller. If you choose to engage in combat, it is the Maze Controller’s job (playing the monsters) to kill you.

I just completed a quick skimming of the sampler and the only thing I'm not a fan of are Cyclopsmen as a race.
I will cast my hat into the proverbial ring with a... solid maybe. I'm happy to begin on a waitlist to get a feel for how the game will actually play before formally committing.
Okay, I'm officially in if you'll have me. Again, ask OGRE MAGE if taking me on as a player is worth it before formally accepting my candidacy.

I think the Cyclopsmen are there because they might be integral to the setting itself. They have a language and a culture that is reflected in Gillespie's other works, each which have ties to each other. TBH, I don't care that much about them either but it's a flavor that might have to be acquired. I'm only going to allow a limit of one per party anyway. I might even throw in a crit table where if you roll double crits (nat 20s), roll the table for losing a hand, foot, an eye. So imagine an unlucky Cyclopsman losing his eye!

Any game that includes this is alright in my book.

Sheet looks nice, the game sounds decent. If I can get by without the rules I am in. May try running the stupid one eyed dude if I roll my usual garbage stats.
