#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 21: Favourite licensed RPG
Huh, I guess I accidentaly answered this on tenth day:
At the moment I consider Goodman Games' take on Dying Earth and Lankhmar to be the best pieces of tie-in fiction. From insane production qualities to great care and love put into the publications, there is little reason not to pick them up—especially when on sale!

#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 20: Will still play in twenty years time
#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 19: Favourite published adventure
My favourite Necromancer Games mega-dungeon—because it is so much more! You get a starting city (with seven adventures), a wilderness area (with 26 keyed encounters and mini adventures), and a mega-dungeon with interesting factions and cool big-bad. Suitable for low-level parties.
Get the Swords & Wizardry version, as well as local and regional maps.

#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 18: Favourite game system
Although I'm very, very partial to Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia, lately I've been finding the call of the original Dungeons & Dragons rules too difficult to resist. Yes, it is a product of times, but that only makes it more attractive to me. There is everythign there to have an incredibly rich game, without the bloat of latter editions (looking at you 2e!).
Of more modern renditions, or rather retro-clones, I find Swords & Wizardry Complete and Adventurer Conqueror King System to be great, complementary games. The former as front-end, i.e. what the players see, and the former as back-end, i.e. what the Judge uses to flesh out the world, clarify the rulings, run economy, and so on.

#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 16: Game you wish you owned
Oh my, what a question. I wish I owned original copies of all Judges Guild releases, everything from first and second edition of Middle Earth Role Playing game by Iron Crown Enterprises, everything Glorantha & early Runequest related from Chaosium, everything from a horde of nano-publishers from 70s, 80s, and 90s who did just a few things fro D&D and TTRPGs and then just perished...

#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 14: Favourite convention purchase
I haven't really went to any notable TTRPG conventions. How about listing my recent, favourite, kickstarter backings instead? Those would be Tome of Adventure Design & Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised Rulebook by Mythmere Games, and Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: Dark Tower by Goodman Games.

#RPGaDAY2023 – Day 13: Most memorable character demise
I already told you how Rarder Brete died surrounded by hobgoblins, cultists, and other abominations. Now I'll spotlight few character deaths from the Wilderlands campaign I'm running:
- Sashundo and four retainers perish whilst looting abominable hydra's lair
- Shambling mound consumes Adkin the Butcher & Dave John Basic while the party flees in tears
- Orda's last stand against a horde of cannibal mole-men
Here is the list of all character deaths: https://attronarch.com/wilderlands#dead
