    OSR Publishing my own B/X & OSE Variant (in line with Dolmenwood or Shadowdark)

    To answer "selling point" more directly, this is the attack throw and saving throw chart for all classes: Since attacks and save targets are never adjusted by circumstance or by the enemy (other than a positive Dex modifier changing attack throws from "match-or-beat this TN" to "beat this...

    OSR Publishing my own B/X & OSE Variant (in line with Dolmenwood or Shadowdark)

    I am! The primary selling point of the system is that it's even faster than standard OSE, since there's no math adjustments made during play to saving throws, attack throws, or skill checks. A second selling point is that the level-up math is a lot faster, with no look-up tables to determine...

    OSR Publishing my own B/X & OSE Variant (in line with Dolmenwood or Shadowdark)

    Looking for D&D-like alternatives to D&D 5e

    Well, you go here and get the player's handbook: DriveThruRPG Then you go here and get the setting guide: DriveThruRPG Both are pay-what-you-want, since the art is all AI-generated but the text is 100% human-crafted (I used generated art to find the right 'feel' and spent a good amount of...

    D&D General Ready for playtest: a "5E-lite" retroclone

    Also, because I know some people have some strong feelings about this: The entire art for this project was generated in MidJourneys, prompted with my own sketchwork. (I'm an artist, just not a good artist; I wanted the book to evoke a certain 'style' that I'm not quite capable of managing at...
