I signed up! I can't wait!

Although I just realized you're running Tower of the Stargazer, so I will refrain from looking at it when it comes in my order!

I must say that when I first started reading/looking through LotFP, I immediately thought of Karl Edward Wagner's Kane the Mystic Swordsman. I know he's too "powerful" to be representative in LotFP, but I think the vibe is right on the money.

Hi, Marc here.

Started with Holmes D&D back in '78, switched to AD&D shortly after, which, like a cyberman, slowly had all of its parts replaced with Iron Crown pieces (first Arm's Law, then Spell Law, then Claw Law, then finally moving to MERP, still maintaining AL, SL and CL). Concurrently played a bit of Runequest, The Fantasy Trip, Call of Cthulhu, Villains and Vigilantes, and Chill. Like many took a break from gaming for a while, then got back into The Fantasy Trip (through Dark City Games), got into a D&D 3.5 game, and then found Savage Worlds, which has been my go-to game since 2006. I've read most of the OSR games but never played any of them.  I recently had the opportunity to really delve into LotFP and now I really want to play (or run) a game, time permitting.

I'm fine with the dwarf and elf as they are. For halflings, I like the goblinoid idea, where a halfling may have more or fewer features that betray their heritage, depending on how the player wants to go.

Regardless, they should alaways maintain that "outskirts of urban society" feel to them
