I've been hearing a lot about WoHF and was thinking about getting it myself. I've been highly impressed with other Necro offerings (like City State) and have been considering this one as well. Well, I guess I'll just have to go ahead and pplunge in. I like to play with a variety of different...

Mine is from a character that I played back in the mid 1980's in 1e AD&D. He was a drow fighter/M-U. I played him as a very militant and regimented sadist type of character and he eventually morphed into a sort of master of intrigue/shady political liason/assasin type character over the years...

I like to play fantasy mostly with other genres being something that I like to play on occasion. I have a very large collection of RPGs but D&D in its many incarnations is the one I find myself drawn to the most. I do like others and like to play them but D&D is the most comfortable and...

Well, I don't think for the type of fantasy gaming I prefer that they would fit very well. However, I could stand to ride my real life bike a bit more, heh.

You know, the whole fantasy language thing has really been getting to me lately. It seems that there is some awesome potential for roleplaying here but it is frequently glossed over (I know for the sake of expediency). I think in the future, I'd like to have languages play a little more...

Me thinks I'll have to pay a visit to OpenRPG. I am a Sys Admin with an interest in Open Source software so this appeals to me on so many levels. :)

Hussar, It sounds like you have this working well for you so far. I too live in Japan (Okinawa) and don't speak the language (which I'm working on). I've thought about using one of the online systems to get some game time in with my old group back in Seattle. So far I've been here 8 months...

For me it's not so much a matter of using a system to play a game, but the ability to produce my own material and put it out there so other can use it or not. I already own every version of D&D since OD&D all the way through 3.5 plus C&C and several others. I love to write and do artwork so...

I think for me what is so confusing about this is not so much the OSRIC system itself, but the whole OGL argument. Now, how can games like C&C exist under the OGL and a reference document such as OSRIC be something that isn't legal? Furthermore, even without OSRIC, why couldn't one make a...

I'll have to say the closest thing is English. Right now I live in Okinawa, Japan and have traveled to Thailand and the Phillipeans and was suprised how widespread English is in the major urban areas. Pretty much all of the road signs are in english and the native language of the country (it...

You know, there for a while I was doing good. I had my game purchases under control and I bought what, maybe one supplement every 1-3 months. I tell you what, since the release of all this nostalgic gaming material from the likes of Troll Lords, Goodman, Necromancer, Expedious Retreat, and...

Papers & Paychecks, Mythmere1, and the rest of the folks who are shaping OSRIC, I really wanted to say that this whole OSRIC thing has gotten me more excited and fired up than I've been in a long time and for that I thank you (I know I should also do a proper thanks on the Knights and Knaves...

This is really cool. I have quite a few DDC modules and greatly enjoy them. I pretty much like all the incarnation of D&D and will gladly play any of them, but I have the greatest love for 1e and was poised to get on eBay to get a copy of this. Now I'm so glad to hear that Goodman is going to...

It's a regular revolution. I won an eBay auction a couple of weeks ago for the boxed set and should be recieving it in another couple of weeks. I started with 1e so I never even have seen the OD&D book in person. I can't wait to get them!

Wow, over the past year I've bought quite a bit of stuff. Let's see Unknown Armies, D6 Fantasy and D6 Space, Pendragon, Ars Magica 4th Ed, Blue Planet, and Palladium Fantasy. That's it for new systems but I have been buying quite a bit of D&D stuff from OD&D alll the way through 3.5.

You know, my interest in OSRIC is pretty similar to what sjmiller said. I grew up playing AD&D. When I found OSRIC, it really got me fired up to do something of my own for a game that I dearly loved (and still do). I mainly do old school inspired artwork (see the link in my sig for some...

Aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg!!! This is too funny I just read the Forest Oracle thread followed up by this one and I can't stop giggling. I know when I was younger, I made my own homebrew modules that were probably as bad as this.

I like High/Low magic fantasy and historical. Right now I tend to favor lower magic settings although I can get in the mood for just about anything fantasy. I'd still love to start a neolithic, bronze or iron age low magic fantasy campaign. anything with a premedieval feel to it would be...

I played back in the early 1980's and the feel of the DDC line really recaptures for me the feel of those old adventures. I find myself primarily purchasing items from Goodman Games, Necromancer, and Troll Lord as they all to some extent capture what I loved about gaming back then. I find...

I've never been and it looks like it may be a couple of years before I get a chance, but I'm excited for everyone else who is getting to go. I'll just have to live vicariously through those of you who are going, heh.
