OSRIC v1.00 released.

[PapersAndPaychecks]

Way to go!!! Congratulations. It's like giving birth when you reach something you're willing to call 1.00. Except without all the pain, blood and drugs.

ok, sometimes it's exactly like that........

Congrats again.

I don't know about blood, pain, and drugs, but my wife tells me that over 500 cups of tea, nearly 250 pints of Theakstone's Old Peculier, and two and a half bottles of Talisker have gone into OSRIC so far.

OSRIC - the tannin and alcohol powered role-playing game!

Heh. I like.

How about "Fantasy Adventure Game."

It's heading for my HDD now... congrats!

Osric, from Hamlet, is responsible for one of Shakespeare's most gamer-friendly quotes: "A hit, a very palpable hit." May this OSRIC be responsible for many more.

Osric.


Kur-pol-i-fark-ly?

Rigga-goo-goo?

Smak-u-ro-pur?

I give up. How do you pronounce it?


'Grats to P&P & Co.

I've been pronouncing the title "OZ-rik."

Edit: just realized everybody is joking. Boy, am I sleep deprived. Having a two-year-old does that to you. . .

Good job!

Congratulations, thanx, and if you do change the name (which would be at least as silly as calling the thing "OSRIC" in the first place, IMHO) please don't use "Advanced Tables and Charts", as I'm using that for my 3.5-ized OSRIC homebrew.

(And by "using" I mean "thought about once, before putting exactly zero actual effort into the thing...

Osric was a very common Saxon name. Not especially hard to prounounce, like say a Welsh name, Dwfdajdljaldjflafadljallfdj.

You guys simply must change the name. As much as I love the idea, a vaguely non-pronouncable acronym is really going to hobble people picking it up.

Osric [OZ rik] is hard to pronounce?
