Being able to given them a ruleset that only uses stuff you can steal from the ubiquitous Monopoly or Yahtzee sets is great. As you point out while S&S can do it that's a more complex system.<br /><br />It would also fit well into my <a href="http://peopletobe.blogspot.com/2009/07/harry-potter-and-bag-of-dice.html" rel="nofollow">Harry Potter movie give away</a> idea.Pulp Herbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486803457210325703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-74842421843693840492009-08-02T08:29:26.880-04:002009-08-02T08:29:26.880-04:00Matthew,

However, I will have to take another look at its spell casting system if I decide to do a 2d6 game.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879930955049101533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-75762037900988570462009-08-02T08:26:30.506-04:002009-08-02T08:26:30.506-04:00Todd,

I probably need to add an armor class conversion table to standard M74, too.<br /><br />I prefer higher is better because my player group in the early 80s had STRONG opinions on the issue. Very strong opinions.

It's 2d6 only, based off of <i>Chainmail</i> and thus has a casting roll for Wizards as well.<br /><br />And I just can't stop thinking about doing 2d6 attributes as well.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-32786902033282824232009-08-01T19:19:56.171-04:002009-08-01T19:19:56.171-04:00I started a project like this last summer with Mic...I started a project like this last summer with Microlite74 as a base. I opted for a Descending Armor Class as it was then usable with existing modules that I had stacked in the attic. Don't ask me why, but I stinking love 2d6 as a base for RPGs and it just feels so Retro that I find myself traveling back in time to a misspent youth.<br /><br />Here's a link to the PDF<br /><br />http://toddthevikingking.googlepages.com/homebrew2d6.pdf<br /><br />It still has a few kinks to be worked out, but it may save you some time if you'd like to use it to work from. <br /><br />Drop me an email and I'll send you the DOC file if you're interested.<br /><br />todd the viking king at gmail dot comTodd the Viking Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095270082622545180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-7513518619252581082009-08-01T18:32:51.320-04:002009-08-01T18:32:51.320-04:002d10 would certainly work, but wouldn't allow ...2d10 would certainly work, but wouldn't allow the game to be played with only the "standard" six-sided dice that almost everyone has.
