@Printdevil @Taskerland @zozo LoC I could never warm up to, and MM&M was a distant dream to me.
LoC was pretty early in the scheme of things: 1984. It was certainly not as wargamey as a dungeon crawler, but it wasn't really a "fiction first" game either. It was at the beginnings of the move away from wargames, but still dragged a lot of assumptions along like character growth by defeating foes, levels, etc.
Tom Moldvay tried hard, but wasn't quite able to leave D&D behind him.
