[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 4848043, member: 9327"] My HB copy of OSRIC comes in the mail today, and I've been looking over the PDF, and I am confused on a couple points: Which version (if any) is OSRIC compatible with? It's my understanding that there are 4 different versions of 1st Edition. Which version of 1st Edition can I safely pull monsters, adventures, etc. from? Or is OSRIC really just a OD&D-"like" game without real connection? Is it expected that OSRIC players and DM's are already familiar OD&D? There are a number of holes in the rules; for instance, no explanation of saves (what's the difference between 9 and 13? Is it percentile? D20? What are saves for multi/dual-classed characters?) or how (or whether to) divide xp for multi/dual-classed characters. Some of these are in areas of character creation, which I'm pretty sure an experienced player would have no problems understanding the material by filling in gaps from memory. Also, are there any resources for folks who have never played pre-3E to run an OSRIC game? [/QUOTE]
