| 8 / 10 | Jon Hastings | It's nice to have all these rules in one book. This is my preferred variety of D&D (although I have to admit that I have yet to really play 3.x). |
| 7 / 10 | Geburah | A fun if (now) old-fashioned and sometimes clunky iteration of D&D, it's one of my most enjoyable and yet frustrating play experiences. While D&D 3.X is more streamlined in many areas and makes character customisation easier, the D&D RC has a certain "je ne sais quoi" that gives it a lasting appeal. Perhaps precisely because it leaves more room for *personal* interpretation? |
