TBH I'd take almost any combat system over the DND model. There's so many great ideas out there, it's a real shame DND is seen as the default.

I was just thinking of "The Princess Bride" when Inigo Montoya finally kills his nemesis, in DND that moment would be, "ok, that's seven damage," then an hour more of fighting

I sort of prefer Norte-ans. I like the sound of "Norte".

The worst is gas leaf blowers. Huge public nuisance, they poison the air and cause ear damage. Just to move some leaves around.

Before my time too, I played it for the absurd difficulty and silliness.

I think I got "it's dangerous to go alone. Take this." from I Wanna Be The Guy.

I'm only realizing today that they decide to freeze the island to escape, but the island only freezes after they've already escaped. It was completely irrelevant.

There's nothing a beautiful as a quiet snowy winter morning.
