Long long ago, I was GM for the FASA Doctor Who game, back when it first came out. I remember enjoying it then, but that was so long ago now that I really can't remember too much about it. I remember feeling like it was well set out for me, so I felt like I knew what I was doing. As a result, I can't really remember feeling like anything needed to be changed, but it would be interesting to run it again and see if it holds up.

So, in the end, I opted to order this "revised, but not too much" version of the Core rules. It is the period of the backer kit launch as I type this, and when that opened I WAS only going to get the Gondor & Rohan book (anticipating an Adventure book sometime in the far future). However, the Bestiary book seemed sensible [as I hoped it was time to gather it all in one book].

As the campaign has gone on, Strider Mode was added as a printed option in the revised Core, making it more attractive, nudging me closer & closer to the Edge, until I just felt that getting the three book Bundle would also give me a few Stretch goals and give me a correct Core book.

Having made that decision, I now seriously wonder at the total changes made in the Core since that first version I purchased of the Collectors Edition (red book) Core. I am not going to contradict the view that the original rulebook is valid to apply the TOR2e system: but it isnt a perfect fit to the way things have shaken out. I have got the original Core rules in the CE and an original standard issue Core rules (this was intended for everyday use), both these feel redundant now, because the revised Core is going to be the way things are described.
I wish I had not got that CE now, so much that I also wish I had not got the Moria CE either.
I shall grin and say "a lesson learnt".

As with yesterday's question, my answer is, of course, my own homebrew setting. For as long as I was a GM, through all editions of D&D except 4th (I strongly disliked that from the start, and playing it made me like it even less), I used my own milieu. The only time I didn't was while we were playtesting 5E using the adventures that WOTC provided for that purpose; X1: The Isle of Dread, for example. Even then, I embellished the setting to make it feel more like a complete world. If I were to GM again, I would certainly use the setting that I developed for decades.

When running other games like Call of Cthulhu (2nd - 6th Edition) or Twilight: 2000 (1st Edition), I used the default campaign setting and would continue to do so. The one game I would love to get back to running, if only to tie up some loose ends and to finish the story we were telling as a group, is Dresden Files Accelerated. For this one, I added my own touches to Jim Butcher's setting by incorporating elements of two other book series: Robert B. Parker's Spenser novels and the Merrily Watkins series by the late Phil Rickman, set on the border between England and Wales. In fact, the PCs were in Herefordshire when the game shut down.

I'm of the age to have quite a bit of nostalgia for Dark Sun. But I don't have nostalgia for Dark Sun with the pointy edges rounded down. I also don't have nostalgia for tryhard Dark Sun with MEGA EXTRA POINTY EDGES!!!!!. And I don't have nostalgia for Dark Sun we lost the IP and also need to round down some pointy edges. I think I'll skip all three and flip through some old books and remind myself that I had more fun reading about the setting and enjoying the art than playing it anyway.

I know the game has been buried by digital rights ownership or whatever but I'd still like to run through the living adventure campaign that was released. Are there any known sources of the adventure around the web?
