So, I am *really* digging "Lion & Dragon...

I literally signed up just to post about how much I like this game.

This book turned out to be everything I ever wanted from a tabletop roleplaying system. The medieval hobbyist in me can't stop squee-ing!

About the only things I plan to change are some of the prices (armour is too expensive), the attack bonuses of the Fighter (too high too quick, IMO), and maybe add in the old weapon vs. AC modifiers for fun.

I picked up both the core book and the Dark Albion setting book.

Anything else planned for this game? I can't get enough.

Armor was expensive as hell back in the day, the prices are about right.

IMHO - I think it would be worth playing the system RAW for a few sessions to see how things shake out before you house rule right away. L&D does operate on a different PC play paradigm than other OSR games, which are a more direct take on D&D style play.

Weapon Vs. AC mods do seem like something that would make sense to add for the right group.

I was looking through my copy of Lion & Dragon last night. I use it as a reference, rather than as a ruleset. I refer to it for item pricing suggestions, naturally occurring poisons, etc. It has 6 Classes to draw from, as well.

I haven't had a chance to use the Lion & Dragon ruleset, but I import the demon summoning into whatever I'm playing. Entire campaigns can fall out of that system with little effort.

Cults of Chaos is even better than Lion & Dragon. Seriously. It's that good.

I am super proud of Cults of Chaos. I do think it might be my best single thematic product.
