SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Nerzenjäger;960464I hope to god this is not an honest question. But here you go:

Many are better organised and have made tweaks to the rules. I vastly prefer S&W Whitebox to OD&D for example.

Don't let Gronan see this.  He'll tell you that you're doing it wrong.

Quote from: thedungeondelver;960403What's the difference between 2e and a clone of it?  All the kits and specialty classes that came on at the end of 2e?  Genuinely curious.

FG&G doesn't have the kits. It's mainly just a nice compilation of the 3 core books into one well organized text. A supplement that compiles all the kits, or various other optional splat from 2.5, doesn't yet exist. I think it would be cool though.

What about optional material? Does it have Secondary Skills? Non-Weapon Proficiencies?

This.  There are also some minor tweaks to some of the rules too.

Also, there are a few working on splat books right now for all the kits.  They are discussing it on the FG&G Facebook page.  I think they said summer release.  They usually discuss projects on the Facebook page so if you feel like weighing in or helping out, join up.

And Willie the Duck--yes, they have non-weapon proficiencies called non-combat skills.

I feel like a commercial, so going to shush up, but if the OP is familiar with 2nd edition, then this would be a easy fit.
