I finished my first read through of Sword World 1st Edition.
+ Classes are skills
+ Combat has a good foundation
+ Magic is wiggly and dangerous
+/- No social skills
- No encounter or reaction table BUT that seems to be an edition error because the adventures assume one. You can find the rules.

I just rolled up a Sword World 1st Edition character.
I rolled a reasonabley fit, but smarter than most Human. My background was Villian: Thief +1. I spent XP on gaining Sage +1 and Sorcerer +1.
They use a cutlass, and I decided their catalyst is a cloak embroidered with runes.

"Everything will include AI"
Oh! That frees up more time for pre-AI art. There is more than a lifetimes worth of art and cool shit out there.
...also the underground grottos are still there being humans.

What is it with the gamer memes* about reading and learning being a burden?
Reading is FUNdamental.
*Ive been around the block long enough to know the difference between a shit post meme and a "oh ya thats true" meme.

I kinda feel the need to work on in-depth history pieces on TRPGs but it wouldnt be about any big IP-first rpgs (Shadowrun, World of Darkness, etc) or the constructed history that solely orbits around "DnD".
I feel it'd literally just appeal to maybe a dozen people because fandom/nostalgia blinders

Here's a closer look at one of the items in @drivethrurpg.com's Black Friday sale, the first ARTESIA graphic novel. First published in 1999 by Sirius, then later by me via my first company, Archaia. Still available through DriveThru in pdf (on sale!) and POD formats under the Aegis & Gorgon banner.

So, hearing ad reads for digital battlemaps doing the...
"you want to draw your players in but doodles dont cut it"
(...as if thats important, manufactured problem)
"the maps vibrancy will make the world more real and do the work for you"
(let us imagine for you? How fucking insulting)

TRPGs are not an entertainment medium but a creative one.
Its a canvas, a life drawing class, a drum circle, jamming with your friends.
It is not an art gallery, an activity book of connecting dots or filling in the blanks, it isn't a concert or improv performance.
Its creative play.

I am reading Sword World 1st Edition: Revised/Complete.
One thing that I havent seen people mention is the influence of Fighting Fantasy on the system. It doesn't read much like a DnD hack, I heard it was.

What an awful cover for Stormbringer. This is the 1967 Lancer paperback that I got at a bargain.
