I haven't heard any concerns with the trades, so I'll mark the trade final when OLWLG comes back up. Thanks everyone for participating! As you noticed, I didn't post anything this time. Sadly, I will not be able to attend Strategicon Gateway 2026 due to some travel plans. Don't worry, I'll be back! Christina Law (lawster) graciously agreed to manage the Math Trade during the con this time. I'll look forward to seeing you all in February!

AD&D certainly just bolted on rules for different things. However, I do not see similarities between 3E and Runequest. 3E is a crunchy game that went to a target number system and added many things to make it easier to handle situations that previously would have been role-played out or decided by a GM because there weren't mechanics. So if you mean a coherent mechanical system, then yes it went mainstream. I just do not see the influence of better designed games like Runequest on 3E.

When it did eventually make the leap forward in rules design in its 3rd edition (2000) it did so on the back of integrating ideas that were then fairly mainstream in the rest of the industry, in games like Runequest and Ars Magica especially.
