Call in on weapon damage in CL0e sparks a discussion
initial reaction on my retro edition of Chaoses Limb
What happens if we apply reverse evolution to Chaoses Limb? all sorts of craziness. Trigger warning: those easily disturbed by hearing rules being mangled, spindled and mutilated may experience increases in blood pressure listening to this episode. Note: no actual rules were harmed in the making of this episode.
The latest in my series of interviews with my brothers and former players. Apologies for the sound quality on this one.

Inspirations for the Chaoses Limb Retro Clone http://zenopusarchives.blogspot.com/
A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself. Robert Burton
“And here he was, a little halfling from the Shire, a simple hobbit of the quiet countryside, expected to find a way where the great ones could not go, or dared not go. It was an evil fate.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
Sandra’s seen a leprechaun, Eddie touched a troll, Laurie danced with witches once, Charlie found some goblins gold. Donald heard a mermaid sing, Susy spied an elf, But all the magic I have known I've had to make myself. ― Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends
Steal a little and they'll put you in jail, steal a lot and they'll make you king. Bob Dylan
From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest. Rabindranath Tagore
In a way, we are magicians. We are alchemists, sorcerers and wizards. We are a very strange bunch. But there is great fun in being a wizard. Billy Joel My patreon post on spell books: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cl-spellbook-29824701
Fighters can use any weapon and wear any kind of armor. As they advance in experience they increase their “hit dice” making them harder to kill.
For Holmes Basic (and Chaoses Limb) all character generation rules can fit on one side of a single sheet of paper--and that's including gear. Simplicity.
“When you’re short of everything but the enemy, you are in combat.”
The fourth rail of fantasy adventure gaming My patreon post on spell books: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cl-spellbook-29824701
Of the 3 (4?) pillars of fantasy adventure gaming one of the broadest is how characters interact with their environment. For OD&D this default environment is the Dungeon.
