Here's a thing I've been working on recently; side project sixty three of eleventy seven.

Quintessential BX is a trimming and tweaking of Gavin Norman's B/X Essentials, itself a revision of Tom Moldvay and David Cook's Basic/Expert edition of the Original Fantasy Adventure Game.

Your PC's relationship with the PC to your right: You're connected quite literally, by ten feet of chain, shackled to an ankle each.
