New Campaign

It's been quite some time since I've played BX with anyone but randies off of /tg/ or roll20. None of the players in my usual group have experience with BX and a few of them have bad impressions of the old school D&D in general. One even has an irrational hatred of descending AC.

If you're wondering....

 The radio silence lately is because I'm not running a game, prepping a game, or (sadly) in a game as a player right now. I've had a few false starts trying to join games, mostly OSR or (natch) 5E, but all of them have either fizzled after a session or two or just never got out of the DM going "we'll be playing soon!" anyway, I have been doing a thing tho https://dungeonpunk.fandom.com/wiki/DungeonPunk_Wiki My homebrew system has its own wiki now For someone who loves classic D&D, the system I made is not classic D&D. It's a strange middle ground and I love it. Please take a look.
