Non-D&D D&D, maybe

 

As I have mentioned before, I really like playing in a D&D-like manner, but I'm not that great a fan of D&D as a system. Never really have been, after a brief infatuation with each new incarnation. (Except for 4th Edition. We speak not of 4th Edition.)

Similarly, I do like Runequest (and the generic nature of the d100 system in general) as a system, but I'm not fond of its attachment to Glorantha and its cults and what-not.

So, I thought I'd give Mythras a go for my fantasy roleplaying, 

The Classic Fantasy supplement is designed to make the game feel more Gygaxian, for those who like a heapin' helpin' of dungeoneering in their FRPGin', and the Unearthed Companion extends the power levels available.

I haven't yet organised an actual Mythras campaign, but I do have the glimmerings of an idea on the horizon. What's the worst that could happen?
