I'm here for TTRPGs, retro tech, heavy metal, illustration, and genre fiction.
I wonder if this is how they're bringing Deathwatch back, in the same way that Imperium Maledictum is somewhat a new take on Dark Heresy. Also what's up with them releasing an Old World RPG, as if Warhammer Fantasy RPG doesn't already exist?

Dolmenwood is a modified version of Old School Essentials, so it's pretty close to B/X D&D with several quality-of-play improvements, more classes, and support for its custom setting.

Dolmenwood has a hard class delineation - you pick an origin (race) and a class, and you get a handful of abilities from each. WWN has 3 abstract default classes and a 'custom' class that combines 2 of the others, but characters also have skills and power sets that aren't class-locked.

This was a great video and topic even if I had to break it into two sessions to finish it, which I'm sure probably doesn't help much on the analytics front.

Check out Worlds Without Number or Dolmenwood. Characters in both games have more to them than bog standard B/X; in WWNs case it's quite a bit more.
