Save yourself the pain and go straight for the boxed set! +1 Wish I'd done that.  |

I did done that.
I'm in the process of preparing to run it.
I haven't felt this excited about a game in a long time! (I know I'm repeating myself here but what the hey.)

I may be running LotFP as a PBP on another forum. Can anybody give me some advice? (I only have the free version right now so I don't have the referee's book.)

My advice would be:
1) Don't just think of it as "another D&D clone",
2) Read Lovecraft, Smith and others like that, and
3) Get the referee's book!
That's my two cents, anyway.

Free is good. But this is worth shelling out your hard-earned cash for.

And the character sheet is the most useful one I've ever seen. Period. I wanted to make this point too - some might see it as a minor win but rarely have I seen a character sheet that looks so good, is so useful but at the same time, not remotely baffling (as later edition D&D sheets tend to be). The only change I made was to 'colour-in' the dots on the dice for skills that all characters have (and the universal combat options) before photocopying. Just one look at the sheet tells you that you have got your mits on some quality gear! While I'm on the topic - the enc. section on the reverse incorporates the rules in such a way that dealing with weight and bulk is no longer an issue. It's the only game I've played where the enc. rules lasted more than a single session. |

I haven't had a chance to play it yet (might do that this coming weekend), so I can't comment on gameplay yet.
I do wish the font used was larger (and the books larger as well, but really it's the font size that's the bigger issue). It's a very very tiny font, it's very tiring on the eyes.
Note - I bought the boxed set. Those of you who print out from the PDF wouldn't have this issue presumably.
