Since the Husband is off Twitter, it's time for me to volunteer damaging personal information about him.

The way many people online describe "old-school play" with TTRPGs makes it sound like the most boring nonsense, like a worse implementation of Diablo. If I want dungeon hack-and-slash today, a video game does it better.

@Lovandfear The book I'm reading now was $21 digital. Ordering a used one would have cost a couple hundred. In this case, I'll take the ebook. But generally? Physical books for the win!
I find the more detailed rules are, the more I feel the need for everything to feel realistic and make logical sense.
A dungeon in, say, Shadowdark can be filled with whatever random monsters and it doesn't matter since it's a rules lite primarily dungeon crawler RPG.
In a detailed game like ACKS or AD&D, however, it feels like I'm doing the campaign a disservice by doing that in 99% of situations.
