[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 9525868, member: 4348"] What type of game are you looking to transition to? What is it that your players are tired of with AD&D 2e? Without that information, it's hard to suggest something. You could go everything from something very similar to AD&D (for example, AD&D 1e on DMsguild, to OSRIC, which for someone wanting something in print, both would be good suggestions), to something very different (for example, the current offerings of D&D found in the store, also known as D&D 5e). If it needs to be OSR, but AD&D...go OSRIC. If you want something similar to AD&D, but with modern trappings, some of the suggestions are given above, but I'd probably prefer Castles and Crusades. It's easily adaptable to be used with any 3.X D&D adventure, any Pathfinder Module or Adventure, and even easier, any 5e Adventures. It's not strictly OSR, but I favor it over other OSR games. It's the only one I really play of these types. If I wanted to play the other games (BX, BECMI, AD&D, etc) I'll just play the actual D&D rules as they are available for sale and in print on DMsguild. Old School Essentials seems to be very popular on these forums, but if I were to use that I'd just play BECMI or BX. I also have a ruleset I put out called 5e Old School (on DMsguild) where you can adapt 5e to play in various forms of Older TSR D&D (OD&D, BECMI, or AD&D). It depends on what you want out of the ruleset and your players preferences. [/QUOTE]
