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.

Best RPG to Simulate Early Ultima Games?

As a follow-up, I ran my Ultima rules at GaryCon, had a nice shakeout of both the first level "starting out" and third level "advanced classes" rules, the magic system and combat. Plus, nostalgia with a Man-O-War attacking the ship that the players were on, Dag Mentar blasting some PCs into oblivion, a Mark of Force, Lord British and... gremlins. Yep. All the food. Gone. Good thing they were literally underneath the Castle of the Lost King to replenish.

So... so far, so good. I'm going to run Ultima again next year at GaryCon and am considering just starting where these players left off. I've been asked to run as long of a game as I can. I'm thinking about making it my "home" campaign for now.
