More dice. If I don't have to use 2 hands to roll a bunch of d6s, then what's the point? It's one of the things I enjoyed about WH40K back when I used to play it.

Also, in an OSR type game, if you miss a session and your character maybe isn't present to risk their life in dangerous situations, sorry but your character is not getting XP. XP is the reward for surviving dangerous shit, such as claiming treasure hordes and bringing it back to town.

This is decent advice, but also dependant on the game you're playing. Previous editions of DnD required different exp by class, which was part of the balance. Thief levelled quickly, but doesn't have access to reality shaping spells.

Yeah, alignment isn't really hard baked into the rules anymore like it was in previous editions. It's more optional. Thankfully there's no more alignment based languages. Back in the day there were Lawful and Chaotic languages 🤦 (and good and evil weren't alignments, that came later).

People often conflate an evil alignment (typical orc or a goblin) with an evil outsider (devils, demons). A Paladin's detect evil should not ping off an orc, they aren't necessarily evil incarnate like an outsider is. Remember that detect evil is a 1st level spell, detect alignment is like 6th.

This immediately caught my interest. I'm considering backing the pdf version. I'd love to back the physical version, but shipping into Canada is probably going to be a lot 😢
