It's a fork of D&D that's got a focus on a simpler roll-under resolution system, spell-point magic and a really strange approach to combat where it's a push-pull team-based thing I can't explain super good (at least in the one I've played, which was the recent kickstarted one) plus a lot of options for solo-play. Someone familiar with this particular edition and osr stuff could explain it better than me.

it'd be an interesting thing to look at from a historical perspective as well, it's cool to see the strange parallel evolution to D&D

They don’t call it rebuke undead now for nothing.

Here’s another existential D&D question for you, presented with as little biasing as possible.
Why is cleric a class option?

While it’s origin is an opposite of a vampire, clerics work as a magic-user/fighter hybrid with more support-oriented abilities, filling a niche pretty well.

DnD really runs the gamut of generic to specific with the classes. A fighter or thief is generic, a bard or paladin isn’t. I prefer generic stuff when there’s more customisation.

I'm sick of hot springs modules, they just chuck them in the middle of campaigns so they can show the fighter without any armor on
