@kensanata And my OSR games have gone well without Clerics:

As for just fighter & sorcerer, have you seen Carcosa? Sorcerers are just fighters who can perform rituals, higher EP costs, better magic save.

It works for that type of Elric, Cthulhu world, tho then you might as well play Stormbringer or RuneQuest, which is where my D100 game has gone instead.

> In 1974, Bill Hoyt, part of the original Blackmoor Bunch, started playing Dungeons & Dragons, which he'd got at Gary Gygax's house. Soon after, he began his own campaign.

These are rare maps and campaign notes from the very beginning of D&D.
SECOND EDITION: Contains more information from the Old Campaign, and also "Hlákku and the Jakálla Underworld", Bill's account of his early days playing Empire of the Petal Throne with M.A.R. Barker.

Continued thread

Exponential XP costs mean catch-up is almost always 1 Level per session.

Of course experience awards aren't a "punishment", they're a representation of a character learning by *actually experiencing* things. So if a character isn't present, they don't get any. Someone who contributes less to the game, gets less from the game.

It's one of the most deranged things I've heard. Won't play if there's a Level gap?!

I saw this fairly terrible video:
Level Gaps Are Bad For Your Game, Stop Making These Excuses

And I'm like WTF. What does Level have to do with social activity or fun? You don't use your Level to determine if the barmaid likes your PC.

Combat, it *can* matter, but you stay back and plink arrows or low-Level spells, you can contribute without dying.

Puzzles, exploration, and role-playing have nothing to do with your Level.

Hopefully you don't think this is dumb - or you think it's dumb but do it anyway.

Could you finish this sentence for me, without looking what other people wrote?
I know I'm assuming maybe a bit too much.

"Playing role-playing games is an exercise in ________ ."
