We've developed quite a few, optimised for Osric and OSE Advanced but 100% compatible we think with AD&D 1st ed and any other OSR. We've got the Witch, The Diabolist, the Wild Domains Barbarian, OSR (Western) Monk and the Peasant in the Player's Guide to Dunromin, we've got the Courtesan, the...

Alas, most of ours feature nasty humanoids at some point but this one, DriveThruRPG, Has Ghouls as the bad guys for the first third? Or these two are both mega-dungeons with all sorts in them: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/477802/sm10-the-pit-of-panzar?affiliate_id=295776...

Rather than handing out XP for GP we run the option of spending GP on training and getting 1gp per XP, this slows progress, but that suits us, but also makes the Guilds more important, keeps the PCs poor (and desperate) and so on. We play OSR/1st edition. We've done it for a LONG time now and...

Yes, I was being inaccurate. I would say Osric is more like Ad&d but tidied up (a lot) and OSE Advanced is, as you say, some interesting stuff from Ad&d repackaged into the B/X mechanism.

As others have said, OSE is a specific version of the classic D&D Basic/Expert ruleset (they do an AD&D version as well called OSE Advanced), OSR is a more generic term referring to ALL the products based on the classic D&D style rules systems, and there are MANY. I write stuff for Dunromin...

Oooooh yeah. Although the nature of the game world means that pretty much anything can be anywhere as the history is so fractured with so many civilisations coming and going over thousands of years. But there was a race that existed before or maybe ruling over the others, probably creating most...

Can I chuck this one into the mix? It's designed for OSR (OSRIC and OSE Advanced but will work with ANY of them). This has been written specifically for new players and DMS; heavy on the description and process to put in as many safety nets as possible - three small but challenging adventures in...

The new SM10 The Pit of Panzar mega-dungeon adventure from Dunromin University Press is out now; download for just $3.95 until the end of July. In City Year CY444 the greatest Dwarf mage of all time, Archmage Panzar, mounted his Flying Pig and rode up to the Necklace to do battle with Guth-Targ...

Good point. In my experience players quite like the choice at first - liking the non-railroading sensation. They then panic as they have no idea what order to do the adventures in!

If the party are hanging around then the cultists in the Trading Post might be ordered to "do something" about the party. While the main two NPCs there will cream a low-level party they might delegate the task to the lower level thugs and (maybe supported by some of the guards from the...

If you're intrigued by Tucker's Kobolds as a concept the Warren from Dunromin University Press is in the same vein but more up to date... DriveThruRPG

It's an interesting question. In the past I have linked commercial scenarios into a personal campaign, usually based around character arcs. As an independent resource producer we are still trying to figure out what people want. We've done a short adventure collection (Trials of a Young Wizard)...

I am reading that sales are plummeting so it's understandable if frustrating that prices rise to try and maintain enough to live on. For us, it's a hobby so our pricing is aimed for value without sacrificing quality, and our prices aren't changing any time soon... www.dunrominuniversitypress.co.uk

Reading all kinds of adventures can inspire the DM to start writing their own. When I first started my adventures were purely a map with numbered rooms and a list of monsters that inhabited them. After reading more adventures I started to include more and more detail on the tricks and traps. Now...

We've got a little intro vid to the Dunromin and Barnaynia Game World, written for OSR (OSE and OSRIC specifically):

I always go with roll under on a d20, but then I play 1st ed and OSR with descending armour class so the lack of consistency isn't an issue. Being a dice goblin I also make difficult rolls on a d30. Alternatively use the Runequest solution and multiply the stat by 5 and use it as a percentages...

I think we need to know what ACKs is? (You were hoping someone would ask weren't you? Go on - admit it! ;)
