OSRIC 2.0 Released today

That copy of the OGL is nuts.

Dang, that IS sweet. And the page numbers are in the bottom corners, just large and colored without an actual border-outline. Very cool stuff man, very cool. I especially like the character sheet. Two-sided and very basic. No useless clutter and nothing is compacted down. Good job!

 

[justanobody]

CRAP! I just noticed the character sheet will aid you in printing by being able to fill in areas within the PDF!

SWEEET!

Now if only that is true in the dead tree version as well

Wyatt is apparently Pat.

(Whether or not you're a fan of Achewood won't make a difference - read some of Pat's Blog entries...).

I've got an un-admirer.

If some place with that many Japanese Cartoon avatars hates it, it has to be good.

Also... well done! Looks to be a sweet document.

And now we've hit the full on sterotype of fans of older editions, nice work.

If your gonna talk s**t about somone at least do it at place where they have a chance to respond.

And if you actually paid attention to the review you'll see that he actually said the system is fine, just overly complicated and not for him.

It's more than just Japanese cartoon avatars, mate. They publicly admit to being fanficcers.

I've resisted the urge to "review" some of that guy's fanfiction. I'll leave that up to someone more sarcastic than me. (Calling Circvs Maximvs, can you hear me out there?)

You might also have noticed they can dish out the criticism but they can't take it.

 

[SlyFlourish]

Very cool

This is very cool. I appreciate the hard work. My group is pretty much grown on 4e now but I love looking back and remembering the great old days of AD&D with all the demons and their naughty bits.

This makes me wish I hadn't bought this D&D Rules Cyclopedia.

How much do you think the Lulu version will be?

 

[PapersAndPaychecks]

How much do you think the Lulu version will be?

Varies according to which edition you buy. Assuming Lulu's prices remain as they are at the moment, the exact editions with prices will be:

Standard softcover: 8.5" x 11" perfect bound softcover, colour cover with black and white interior, on economy ("publisher grade") paper, 402 pages. $8.53 plus shipping.

Supporter's softcover: 8.5" x 11" perfect bound softcover, colour cover with black and white interior, on standard paper, 402 pages. $17.50 plus shipping.

Standard hardcover: 8.25" x 10.5" casewrap hardcover, colour cover with black and white interior, on standard paper, 402 pages. $28.05 plus shipping.

Deluxe Hardcover: 8.25" x 10.5" casewrap hardcover, colour cover with colour interior, on standard paper, 402 pages. $100 plus shipping. (I don't expect to sell very many of these but the offer will be there!)

For buyers outside North America, shipping rates on the "standard" editions are likely to be high. Sorry--that's Lulu's pricing policy, not mine.

The "standard" products are at cost price, and I pledge that I will always offer both softcover and hardcover versions of OSRIC at cost price. I should add that I may need to adjust those prices slightly when the time comes depending on Lulu's pricing policy or some other factor beyond my control.

I'm rather disappointed you can't see the very honest review under the humor and "in-your-faceness". I thought you'd be a better sport than that – the Cthulhutech guys certainly handled things all the better, but admittedly that's my only other experience with this sort of thing.

I really think OSRIC is a great product for what it is – when I read the AD&D manual blood tears came out of my eyes. I thought OSRIC did a downright amazing job at making it presentable and learnable – it is just still AD&D. I just chose to portray it in a rather different way for entertainment purposes – it's what my readership enjoys. I thought you'd be able to see that, but I guess not.

I'd rather like it if instead of cheering on your fans to send me emails about how I'm a pedophile for liking anime, and childishly attacking me for unrelated things, we could talk about why you're so upset, and why you can't handle the joke.

As for me not being able to handle criticism, my inbox gets stuffed full every day, and I get lynched nearly every forum I go to but GITP. My general reaction to this is just puzzlement.

Faury's the one who can't handle criticism.
