[QUOTE="nightraven, post: 4849495, member: 84088"] I recently got my HC book, its fantastic. I can't express enough how important it is to get this book if your interested in AD&D (or gaming in general). Gygax was brilliant, but the original 3 books were layed out and explained in a way often difficult to understand. Having OSRIC will save you countless hours trying to piece the proper rules together. Even if you don't agree with the authors conclusions (based on what you read) its something to compare to. As for some of the "holes". If you know how to play any version of D&D it should be obvious to use a d20 for saves. But your correct, there are going to be people picking this game up (perhaps their first RPG who knows) who have the right to expect the basics spelled out (like it or not OSRIC has grown up from a publishing tool to a stand alone game...IMHO the best presently in print...its 1E almost 100%). Perhaps your observation could be added to the Lulu copy? Why not ask the author Stuart Marshel? [/QUOTE]
