Character Creation in Labyrinth Lord Dungeons and Dragons basic character creation sounds brutal for any RPG, with just 3d6. This episode I take a close look at Labyrinth Lord RPG and how characters are rolled up and share thoughts on why it works and how I've played it. A correction: I mention monster Hit dice as D6, it is actually D8. You can reply here on Anchor or at http://MaximumHP.com under the blog section.
