Conventional view: AD&D is hard to understand because of organization and vague separation between mechanics and design notes Me: I understand it just fine This thread: why you smug little turd

He did the best he could and about as well as the average gamer. No shade, it takes superior players and serious intellectual firepower to get the full value out of a game of AD&D. It's not for everyone.

Spoiler alert: he skipped key load bearing rules, couldn't escape his prejudices, and learned nothing from the experience.

Skill issue. This game is not too deadly. Combat is deadly, but that's a different question. Smart players find alternative solutions outside the combat system, or do everything possible to stack odds in their favor before the balloon goes up.

Many claim WFRP is too deadly for a dungeon crawler, but classic RPGs were just as brutal. My advice? Warn your players that this isn't a latter RPG-style power fantasy. Make it clear that character death and permanent disfigurement are on the table.

Buglers get the grays and reversed uniform colors, to make them more visible on a smoke choked battlefield.

The Old Lords, with both Fantastic and Man to Man Combat? Men and Ogres? Heroes and Wizards? Great video by @NotJonMollison, highlighting just how fast and easy big skirmishes can play when you break out Chainmail in the middle of a D&D session!

Bitches be salty 'cause they went 0 for 7 on their Top 10 picks. Parity and unpredictability are the mark of a good league and all they can think to say is, "Welp, without four or five reliable juggernauts I guess every team just stinks."

Bruh, forget the wins and losses. Yesterday we saw amazing ball being played all across the league. It was soo good we should be celebrating it and doubling down. I don't care that it makes your job harder. Buck up and git gud.

They will not care about your beautiful bowl system. Your universe has no meaning to them. They will be greedy, they will burn the last bit of cultural and financial value from your century old traditions.

Who is this for, college football pundits ask. Nobody asked for this, they say. Nobody wanted this, they object. Sci-fi readers, D&D nerds, comic book fans, Warhammer bros, etc...as a chorus:

Oh, I get it. Bookmark this and check me in a year or two. The 24-team playoff is one step to cutting 3-4 conferences out of the mix. Eespie N's coverage is "nuanced", but if you read between the lines...

...you can see them lining up arguments for eliminating little brother conferences like the MAC and Mountain West from the regular season because muh playoffs. Contemptible.
