That feel when you realize you've reinvented the wheel into an existing game but worse... I like my ideas for Dungeonpunk but they're not what they could be or what I want them to be. Changing over to Savage Worlds for my every other week game since that is what I realize my old generic was turning into. Gonna try to resurrect and fix my Instant Fuzion Gaiden system at some point. We really need a proper DBZIF second edition.

 The hobby has been at 100% saturation for a while and Shadowdark was a grift that got ushered into accolades and awards via kickstarter fraud, bribing reviewers and realplay podcasters, and exploiting the general creative bankruptcy in the broader OSR """community""". I used to have a similar, tho less vitriolic opinion of Lamentations of the Flame Princess, but I've softened over the years. Even though I feel LotFP isn't enough to a departure mechanically to justify its existence as a rule set separate from BX, it at least has an identity via its art direction and extensive setting support, and that makes it worth at least cribbing ideas from if not actually playing it. If you want a mostly accurate emulation of BX without having to pay WotC for PoDs or deal with half a century old layout and formatting play Old School Essentials (BX) or OSRIC (AD&D). What minimal changes are made to the rules are just picking a side on generations old debate...
