So, I've begun looking at Dungeon Crawl Classics from Goodman Games and the various settings and adventures they have created for it. There's a Kickstarter right now for a Lankhmar setting and adventures thanks to a partnership with Fritz Leiber's estate.

I happen to be an old-school role-playing guy with probably too much nostalgia for my lost youth of the 1980s. I know role-playing game systems are generally way different now but sometimes I long for a more simpler time when players smashed the monster to get the treasure and game masters had to make sense of a mishmash of rules. When a fighter was a fighter and a magic user was a magic user and you couldn't hop between classes like a sumo wrestler at an all-you-can-eat buffet. I am not sure the DCC rule set is what I'm looking for as a mix between the old and the new but I wonder if anyone else has experience with it? Let me know in the comments below.
