So I had owned one of the core book sets a number of years ago, but got frustrated with the lack of detail for the equipment list, and never really put much effort into finding a game. Has there been any changes on that front that would make it more likely I would get back into it now?

What do you mean by you were frustrated by the lack of detail for the equipment list?

Basically at the time there were no individual stats for various items. Weapons (or I think armor, but I don't remember) so all swords, axes, clubs and the like were just Close Combat Weapons, with no distinctions between them. Clothes were just a single common "pay more for fancier" listing. It made it hard to figure what anything was worth and didn't interest our group who enjoy the setting, but want to have something besides quick combat to do.

Which edition do you have in mind?

There was the Old World's Armoury for 2e that gives many new/more specific weapons, more clothing, jewelery and so on... Basically everything.

For 4e there is the Up in Arms which breaks stuff like "One-handed weapon" into more specific weapons good at doing different things. There isn't really an expanded list for clothing etc. tho, but there is some more stuff sprinkled in other books - for example there are alchemy related items in Winds of Magic.

Interesting. Yeah, I think it might have been 2e, but I didn't have that book so that might have been the part of the problem. I will have to find a copy of the current ed and take a look to see if it feels more filled out. Are they still using their custom dice for everything or have they moved to using normal dice?

Oh, if the edition you played used custom dice then it was the 3rd edition.

All the other ones (1st, 2nd and 4th) use d100 and d10, so 2d10 (1e also used a d6).

Oh, okay. Good to know. Thanks for all the info.
