Nice to see OSE stuff there. I rarely go to game stores for gaming stuff these days as very little OSR stuff is carried.

I ran a campaign back when I first found your mashup rules. I still have the PHB but I have lost the other PDF. These were the version before you added in some 5e stuff like proficiency bonus. Do you still have those older versions anywhere?

I am really leaning towards 2e mechanics and 1e for the lore. thanks for the info.

Cost isn't a concern for me, but my players are insanely cheap. But I already have the core books for 1e and 2e along with some of the supplements in physical and PDF so I have enough to run a campaign in either of those editions. Was just wondering if 4e did anything that would make it the...

Thanks for the replies. In print isn't really important as the cheapos I game with will probably not buy a copy of the book anyway outside of one player. I was more wondering if they "nerfed" the game to make it easier like later editions of D&D or if its still on par with classic WHFRP. I...

Thread necromancy. I have 1e and 2e. The magic system looks cool on a read in 2e as magic can get out of control. Does 4e offer anything really to make it a clear choice over an earlier edition?

So does this have any impact for players like me who could not care less about PF, 5e or 1DND? Can Necrotic Gnome still publish OSE under this? Can OSRIC publish under this? Or will they have to do makeovers for all those?

I had already jumped off in favor of Swords and Wizardry and Old School Essentials. I can still run those but it will be bitter if all new support is gone and ability to buy new books is gone. I gave my 5e stuff away a while back and nothing I saw from 6e made me think I needed to play that...

Yeah as someone who isn't interested in 5e or 6e losing OSE, OSRIC, and all the support for those will not be good.

The more I think I may even use different rulesets for each "scene" in this crazy nightmare they are venturing in. Simple and based around similar mechanics but I think only their PC personality will actually be transported into the painting, they will take on characters in the worlds they are...

At our table the 4th pillar is whisk(e)y. Which of course leads to shenanigans so I think he's right.

Well I think I will put some of my other wargaming miniatures to use. So there will be a WW2 encounter, a Wild West encounter, and a Sci-Fi encounter using Terminator T-800 miniatures. Plus some nutty fantasy stuff from Dungeonland, and some of the other stuff. Should be fun. Will have to...

I am thinking of using some Gamma World/Mutant Crawl Classics for one encounter. Some genre bending stuff since this is entering a pocket reality inside an ancient magical painting. I'm using the rules/magic book as a rules expansion to my OSE game so I'll look into some of the adventures as...

Yeah, this will be kind of a trip though the magic mirror to wonderland type setup, with a lot of surreal shenanigans and mind bending nonsense. A wedding scene may fit in. One PC they thought was dead was actually transported into this painting and they will have to get him out. Trying to...

Good call. I need to look into those as well. I played in one as well that was quite trippy. It didn’t help that it was a funnel and my guy was armed with a chicken.

I’ll check those out. Thanks.

Putting together something for my OSE game and looking for more inspiration from some real off the wall D&D modules, or just individual encounters. Doesn’t have to flow together, jarring changes from encounter to encounter would work well. Looking at some of the Dungeonland/Beyond the Magic...

One of the guys in my group is already approaching this like its Mad Max and is pretty much saying we need to become kill crazy madmen now and loot anyone we come across that has stuff we need. I know he is going to complain mightily about having to fail and EMP roll to delivery a finishing...

So if you unload a M16 on a foe and roll 6 ammo dice and get a bunch of extra hits. So suppose you get a 3 point hit that is reduced by 1 by armor. So that is 2 hits. The target had hit capacity of 4. So they are at 2. One of the ammo dice is a separate hit and hits a leg for 2. Now the...

Yeah, I was just running a solo test combat to get a handle on the rules and after incapacitating a target the other guy firing on that same target hit him but I wasn’t sure if I had to roll or what. Not sure I agree with some of the weapons stats in this game. A 5.45x39 AK-74 has a better...
