Freebooters on the frontier is what I have been looking for for years now. It captures the old school roleplaying feel while not requiring a week to read and penetrate the rules. This is what I was hoping for when I bought Dungeon World. Freebooters gets rid of the parts of Dungeon World I didn't like and adds much that I thought was missing. I am currently playing with my two sons (age 5: Lawful Human Fighter with long legs and a squint and age 8: Good Dwarven Magic-User with white hair and mismatched eyes) and they are having a blast. Two-headed ogres, the ghosts of dead kings, a fallen dark elf empire and rumours of Dragons have kept us up late into the night.
