I have been DMing 5E for it's entire run. I'm done for now.

I want to run a Blackmoor Game BIGTIME. I'm feeling the need with it turning 50.

So, that leaves what game system do I want to use?

I am leaning heavily towards Old School Essentials, Dungeon Crawl Classics, or Black Hack.

I have run a Blackmoor Dungeon Crawl Classics game before and it was fun. Though honestly DCCRPG while still a great game is a bit too chart filled. Towards the end of that campaign I do remember
being sick to death of looking die rolls up on charts almost every players turn.

Old School Essentials seems almost perfect. It also fits right into a LOT of other OSR systems so I can steal Dolmenwood, Midderlands and other goodies to sprinkle on the edges of Blackmoor to give us more to do.

The Black Hack 2nd edition hardback is on the way as a gift. My wife is a gem isn't she? 8) but I only dimly remember reading The Black Hack first edition once years ago.

So.....What do you guys think? Any of those jump out more than the others?

Old post, but I just noticed it. I have been running my 5E players through Blackmoor (converting the 3E materials on the fly) but would love to run Blackmoor using DCC because I feel that at its core it has the most Blackmoorian feel of any rules set I've encountered other than OD&D.

Any chance you could share whatever DCC tweaks you did for Blackmoor? (I'd love to see Goodman get ahold of Blackmoor for some sort of campaign book!)

I'm using Advanced Fighting Fantasy, that is a 2d6, classless, level-less, simple game, and I'm having fun with it viewtopic.php?f=76&t=8800
if you feel like a simple man, you will enjoy it.
