 The original video games are based on the _Dungeons & Dragons_ 3rd Edition ruleset, which was also then streamlined---think how _Baldur's Gate 3_ tweaked _Dungeons & Dragons_ 5th Edition.
 5E is very familiar and I didn't want to force players to learn a new system, so this book also aims to retrofit the original games' "D&D-isms" into a 5E shell, like using 5E's Power Attack mechanics instead of how it worked in the video games.
