Project Bree-YARC: Elevator Pitch

As I'm working on pulling the Quickstart rules together I realized I needed a tagline or elevator pitch, something to sell the product. I'm at the beach this week, and while taking the dog for a walk this morning it came to me:

Bree-YARC is what 3rd edition would have looked like if it was based of B/X instead of AD&D.

I've thrown a lot of my gaming style in there: exploration and discovery are more important than combat, and downtime activities are a required part of level advancement. I've lowered XP requirements to encourage large parties, with tiers of retainers, and increased the sources of XP.

Also, I've commissioned a piece of art to use as the cover of the Quickstart book. This is the sketch that the artist, Juan Ochoa, sent over the other day.
