So, when it comes to the other options than resuming this game with me remaining in the DM/GM seat, I believe we are not looking at the edition where HotDQ is converted into the [url=https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product_info.php?products_id=115059&filters=0_0_0_0&manufacturers_id=2795&]Lamentations of the Flame Princess system[/url] (henceforth LotFP) but the one that would be run in the original universe of mine. The system does come with major differences to 5e, but what I imagine we might be most concerned with at the present time would be the restrictions in character creation. In the system, all but three of the classes are human only, and the other three are races as classes. This is reminiscent of the very old school D&D that the system is based on. The fantasy races available are Dwarf, Elf and Halfling. Human classes are Cleric, Fighter, Magic-User and Specialist, the latter of which being the catch all for any class that would have a particular set of non-spellcasting skills.

Of the universe, said world is quite monster ridden. The rampages of demon lords are a recurring event, mankind often powerless to stop them on their own until either devils or celestials are able to join the fight. Thankfully for them, the lands are also filled with other battle ready civilisations of what would commonly be accounted as monster races. A recent war led by an unified front of these monster races has driven their stake into the land as well, but their kingdom is unlikely to be anywhere close to the starting locale. Rumours of it have definitely come along however. Yet there still remain fey, supernatural beasties and general brigands of all kinds to scour the land, and that's where adventurers come in.

The trade is not glorious, and few will pay you for invading ancient temples. The coin for crushing brigands isn't the best either. But as is the ancient tradition, all loot acquired is the finder's to keep were its previous owner to have perished. And for outlaws there is no such thing as legal protection against murder that might get in the way of that. Is there a grand quest somewhere out there? Most likely. The city of Trident is a noble ground from whence the three Sword Sisters try and rule over the land to the best of their ability. The Theocracy to the South spreads the word of their "True Gods". Rumour has it there are empires out there that bolster their own power by trading openly in souls, though who can say if a travelling minstrel is just trying to get another few coins for the next mug of cheap wine?

If that sounds like anything, we may resume talks about me remaining the man behind the screen. If not, it might be better for me to bow out and you to seek other options.
