Classic Fantasy is a return to the dawn of roleplaying¸ when you would gather with your friends in your parent's basement¸ bashing down doors¸ slaying hordes of orcs and goblins¸ and throwing yet another +1 sword in your bag of holding. In these early days of roleplaying¸ what eight giants are doing in a 10'x10' room was less important than what their treasure rating was¸ and rescuing the beautiful princess isn't something you did because it was morally right¸ but because of the 1000 gold piece reward. And finally¸ the adventures that didn't have to be anymore detailed then "some giants are raiding the border settlements let's kill em"¸ are the adventures you and your group still talk about to this day.
So¸ rip open the Cheetos and pass out the Mountain Dew. It's time to play some Classic Fantasy.
