by Alphonso Warden for Usherwood Publishing OSRIC Levels 8-12 Well over a century ago, six noble houses from the dark elf city Dar Multai grew tired of the incessant, petty political maneuverings of the seven other noble houses in the city. They eventually discovered a long-abandoned dark elf...

by Chad MacPhee and Greg Oppedisano for 0One Games OSRIC Levels 10-12 Many generations ago the land that is now the Blackened Fen was actually the thriving and warlike city-state of Shyyth. Populated by a race of evil humans knows as Annelids, Shyyth was a religious center of dark renown where...

by Jan Willem van den Brink for 0One Games OSRIC Levels 7-8 The Druid cried from the town square: "Mother Nature gave us a sign; a warning! She wants us to leave, leave the forest so she can heal it! Twice her warnings came. Who knows what happens the next time?" No good can come when the...

by John Kramer for Usherwood Publishing OSRIC for various levels (4th?) The lone sentinel stands 7 ft-tall, is some 3 ft-thick, and 6 ft-wide. Its existence is relegated to the purview of sages, story tellers, shamans, and imaginative bards. Reasons for the Door's appearance throughout history...

by John Kramer for Usherwood Publishing OSRIC Levels3-5 In recent months, creatures dark and wicked have plagued the countryside. The insect-men (as the locals named them) have created no end of anarchy and fear among the populace. After many dark days, the Abbot Christoph sent no further word...

by Patrick Wetmore for Henchman Abuse Character levels 1-2 This is one of the best products ever made. Go buy it now. If you are one of those people who don't like gonzo or don't like dungeoncrawls, I urge you to give this one a chance and read on through the review. I do not say that...

by John Kramer for Usherwood Publishing OSRIC Levels 2-4 An intrepid band of adventurers enter the treacherous cavern complex of the Shattered Skull -- a blood-thirsty tribe of orcs. Does the party have what it takes to ride the region of the vile humanoids? And what else may lie within the...

I also heard, a the con, that Monte was just going through the motions. As die-hard 4E players I would encourage you to not judge the game by its playtest. The optional modules should bring you back to the 4E style that you enjoy, however that style has to be built upon something, namely the...

This discussion has helped clarify things in my mind. I don't want to focus on rations & torches too much. Exploration means: Being scared of new monsters and what they can do? Discovering non-standard magic items/effects? Playing with things in the dungeon: statues, pools, fruit from trees...

We filled out forms (one page) that collected some simple background info and had us list 3 things we liked and 3 things we didn't like. We also had a discussion with our DM's, with the implicit understanding that they would be recapping their experiences.

These are my own DDXP/5E experiences, with some commentary on 4E. I just returned from DDXP. ObBackground: I started with Holmes & 1E over 20 years ago and like a free-form BASIC best. My wife likes 3E best and started in the 2E era. The play-tests were NDA and I'm not playing Paper &...

May I ask then what Exploration means to you? When they mention this element what do you think of? I refer to torches & food only as an example. The core concept here is that there needs to be a control on resources in order to create the tension, and thus wonder of discovery, that Exploration...

I'm very worried about this element. It had a very strong presence in the very early versions (OD&D/Holmes, maybe 1E) and seems to have been on the decline since then. The core element was facing & exploring The Unknown. This extended not only to the environment but to the creatures as well...

Hey ... I run that site! I'm trying to concentrate on new OSR modules and prefer Whimsy, Weird, Megadungeons, and long walks on the beach. There's a lot of OSR stuff that is really just 3E with 1E stats, and I don't think that really gives a person a good feel for the 1E, Basic, or OD&D style...
