I propose a 6th level - the amateur who doesn't make enough to pay one salary, for example: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/14527/Dunromin-University-Press?affiliate_id=295776

I started mine after reading Irilean in White Dwarf magazine back in about 1983. It's been revised and modified to make it adaptable to high and low magic but it's strength is the low-level whimsy, humour and flexibility, I think...

Completely, as far as we have experienced as long as you use OSE Advanced - we produce products for both systems (as per the logos on the front of our products) and the only tweak we have to make is on AC to allow for the AAC that OSE Advanced uses and the old fashioned AC used in OSRIC. There...

It's a great game system and properly presented. If you need some adventures, check this out www.dunrominuniversitypress.co.uk

Yes! I saw that. Life imitates art? Or am I in danger of vanishing up myself here... :geek:

I love it. A lot of the early publications are fun to read; not just as a set of game rules. The ideas that are brushed past let your own imagination shoot off in random directions, even though the very florid text often left gaps and ambiguity that would lead to endless arguments and the advent...

The whole ecology thing I agree with. I'm a Science teacher and, although I am a Physics specialist, I couldn't help myself. I was inspired particularly by Decent into the Depths of the Earth and the Vault of the Drow and the prevalence of fungus in those environments. I worked out the ecology...

Thanks - very much appreciated! I've just been reading through another thread about layout discussing "Written to be read" and "Written to be played" styles of scenarios. While there is some issue with the premise, it's a very interesting thread. There's a lot of very diverse opinions on the...

We spend a lot of time over our layout and presentation. We are going for the look and feel of the classics but with more useful and playable environments. We've been criticised for being too wordy but that's our style, again, inspired by the classics. We also go for the boxed text for players...

We agree on that. Deffo. But if the aim is to make it more efficient but it's not a product... What's the end result?

Wow! So, could you have written it yourself? Yes. And you have explained yourself quite clearly, I understand the benefits that AI is giving you, so how does that play out for you? Get your questions so well-tailored that you need to intervene less and less? When does it stop being YOUR...

This bothers me a lot - "Written with ChatGPT" ? There are a LOT of games designers out there creating games without AI help and making them available free or for a charge within the OSR community. I do realise that people who are not able writers can still have cool ideas and ChatGPT is a tool...

I put the logos of the two main OSR versions that I work with, plus our company logo, obv.

That's a pity, I like that one. But this is going to be the problem with whatever logo we prefer - if it's not licensed then silly and/or malign people will use it to their own ends. In fact, even if it's licensed people will ignore any copyrights unless the owner is prepared to litigate. I...

not a review but another world with lots of ideas at incredibly good value... The Fabulous City of Dunromin - The Ultimate Fantasy City play setting for Fantasy Role Playing

I wrote a Blog Post about this a while ago. Our fave is OSRIC because it's stripped down but not soulless. The changes they have made are sensible (some were changes we had already made ourselves) and it improves on the original by having an index that works. Blog - What is OSR? - 01 Sep, 2024 -...

Surely the DM needs to know the setting but the players have to discover it? Although I suppose the characters would know something of their setting. Something for session zero I suppose..
