Help me understand OSRIC

[Ariosto]

Man in the Funny Hat must be looking at an old version. However, it turns out that the bit about to-hit and save tables (along with weapon proficiencies) now appears at page xiii (Explanatory Notes and Definitions of Terms). Multi-classing and dual-classing are on page 25.

Yep. Just now realized it was an old version. I'm on my laptop rather than my usual desktop so a fair amount of files are not synched with what I have at home.

For what its worth my Labyrinth Lord arrived today, I have yet to sit down and read through it to see if it left any rules out.

Ad&d 3??

This may be off topic, but I am trying to recover a really neat PDF I found a while back. It was more or less the 3e rules but recreated with the all 1e AD&D art. Sort of a throw-back style 3e rules.
I found it on a game designer's personal website, but I can't remember who... I'm thinking maybe Chris Perkins.
Anyways, I thought it was really cool, but I lost it in a hard-drive fiasco and I thought maybe the sages of the boards may know what I am talking about and direct me to it.

Cheers!

Durn: Yes, that was Chris Perkins.

edit: got it! Thanks again.

sweet, thanks! I googled his name but couldn't find personal website. Do you know the name of his website?

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not WotC's Chris Perkins. I'm just a teacher with the same name and too much time on his hands.

Remember too, no one is making a profit from OSRIC (as I understand). So, its original design (to be a publishers tool) probably comes threw a bit (I read threw it a little and honestly don't see the problem). If you read the OSRIC book you'll find it blows out of the water most other rpg games you've looked at, and holds its own with the very best (even being superior to the original 3 core books in clearity).

No disappointment here! Skilled and dedicated teachers have ever been among the heroes of civilization, and at least lately have been in my opinion too little celebrated. If your hobbyist's artistic conceit gets some recognition, I reckon it small enough a pleasure.

I seem to recall, though, that your "3rd edition" and follow-up "unearthed arcana" left some gaps begging to be filled. My memory is not the razor I like to think it once was, so specifics are not to be expected.

Any plans for yet another installment of creative re-imagining?

Thanks for AD&D3. This is one sweet game.
