B/X is good. When characters have d6 hp and it's instant death at 0 the combat becomes way more serious and tense.

Warlock is a rules-light version of warhammer fantasy roleplay. The core dice mechanic is d20+skill. Combat rolls are opposed rolls, sword vs mace skills for example. It uses the career system from wfrp so characters start as something like rat catcher and change careers to advance. If you like the warhammer old world but don't want a crunchy game, I'd recommend it.
Great to know thanks! Sad to say but this is much less of a news story. China doesn't care about dual citizenship, this would have been a huge escalation if they hadn't been and it's click-bait that the article title doesn't mention it.
I wish they would tell us if the Canadians also had Chinese citizenship since China doesn't recognise dual nationals.
Project Gutenberg and librivox are decent resources for free older books. The author needs to have been dead for 70 years, so they are old but I've enjoyed "The Lost World" and "The hour of the dragon"
If you're going to die, better to die on the main quest. I avoid side quest distractions.
I've got,
OD&D, BX*, DCC*, OSE*, Black sword hack and Basic Fantasy. I've also got a couple that are OSR in spirit, Cairn* and Warlock*.
My favs are BX and warlock so far. I'm eager to try out Black Sword Hack for another take on it.
DCC has amazing art but wasn't my favourite otherwise.
The vvitch was a pretty decent horror movie. Kind of slow and atmospheric.
This is exactly what happens in the Battlestar Galactica reboot with all the fancy newer ships in the first couple episodes.
Yves also criticized Canada helping Ukraine against Russia back in 2023. For some reason there's a post about him every other day but he seems like a pretty shitty dude. I'm guessing he has a lemmy account so he can spam about himself.
I ran a game of "Index Card RPG" with the setting "Blood & Snow". The setting includes an adventure seed where Cavemen have to search for ancient relic pillars every generation to stop an Ice Age. I never told my players, but in my mind we were playing a Warhammer 40k game and this was a world a space marine chapter used to recruit those who were strong enough.
