I spent about all of yesterday revising my micro-armor rules, and I can say that at this point it looks like a playable game.
The new rulebook can be found here. I apologize for the site layout, as I haven't yet gotten around to switching to a less glaring color scheme.
I suppose I'll have to post some vehicle designs at some point.

Reviving an old hobby.
It's been a while since I've tried to write a fantasy tabletop RPG, but this idea hit me in July. The core concept is pretty much formed in my mind, however I'm still working out all of the mechanics and the setting. Er, here's a slight intro...
In the city of White Oak there's an inn called the Black Lamp. The tavern there is well-known, often a favorite spot of adventurers and trail-worn travelers from all over the lands of Tanisfall. Welcome to White Oak, wanderers, and to the Black Lamp. Come in, rest your weary bones; have a stein, and listen to the tales of our other patrons as the brew eases your evening.
FOREWORD
The Black Lamp is a fantasy roleplaying game that is heavily inspired by roguelike games such as Angband, Linley's Dungeon Crawl and Omega, with an eye toward creating an "Oldschool" atmosphere at the table.
The game's host- affectionately called the 'Loremaster', is encouraged to hand the players a world in which their characters can explore, conquer or, if they so wish, to betray. The players may save a city from raiding orcs; defeat an evil wizard or take a darker turn and found the next Angband or become the next Achren.
Once the session at the table is over: in the game world, the character's tales are being recounted to a rapt (if somewhat inebriated) audience at the Black Lamp Inn of White Oak.
The mechanics will be similar to AD&D 2nd Ed (albeit with some streamlining), though some concepts are borrowed from ZAngband. Multi-classing will not be allowed, however there will be enough variations that this shouldn't be a limitation.
