Reading Holmes right now

... and it's interesting. I lean even more rules-light ordinarily, and the book is still somewhat chaotic. But it's a good read, a good example on how to pack a complete game in 48 pages, and it's better organized than OD&D (which, admittedly, isn't a high bar to clear). There's a lot of good in it.

All in all, in a strange way, it's the official D&D version that I can grok the best, it seems.

Might share other impressions or house rules later.
