I really love the simplicity of this system along with the layout and the illustrations. It's really very nice.

I like Relic too, but I'm glad that Glaive is shorter. It's a bit of a shame things like the Monster Menu didn't make the cut, but I just added the page back in during printing.

I'm wondering if the monsters from The Black Hack Classic Monsters would work for Glaive?

Example: Zombie HD 1 - 1d8 HP and does HD1+1 Damage (2 in this case, or you can also role a 1d4 if you don't want to use an average)

I also have the Monster Overhaul but it's not a light weight book. I'm guessing those don't need any conversion though?

Thanks!

The Black Hack is kind of its own thing. The general principles of how monsters work are probably directly compatible with Glaive, though PCs tend to be hardier, so i might bump the damage a bit. 3 points, or 1d6 in the example you give

Monster Overhaul is a great book! And yes, directly compatible

I tend to use monsters out of Old School Essentials. There is a big tome, but you can also buy separate digest sized books. The Monster Book is very portable.

I will check it out when I have some more money and when they have more stock of the OSE books - I have been thinking about getting the advanced tomes.

I only recently discovered OSR and it has been a bit rough on the wallet. I think Glaive would have been the perfect starting point because it has a bit of everything.

I should grab Yaloon and Home too, they look perfect for my players/kids.

Listen, I'm not advocating for Doing Crimes. <wink-wink>

But I ahve it on good authority that PDFs of the original D&D Monster Manual are all over the Internet.
