Og!! Caveman gaming

[Scribble]

I did see it for sale as a PDF from e23 if that helps.

Yes. Yes it does.

Thanks.

I bought a copy of the new version, but I must say I prefer the previous one (Land of Og). Somehow it seems funnier. I've run a couple of games of Land of Og resulting in much amusement.

What's the difference between the two? I've never seen the original.

One of the really neat things is that the game gives you a limited vocabulary. Each character can only speak a certain number of words and that uis determined randomly. We used the optional system of also picking what words we could speak from a hat.

Wow. I'm so buying this. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm going to find time to do a full review in the next week or so. But since people don't read those I decided to also do a thread.

I only have the latest [Robin Laws] version, so I don't know what the difference is. However, it looks like our own ENWorld PDF Store has a copy of the older version:

Og (the original, though I've never read the rules) and Land of Og are parodies are D&D; Robin Laws' new version is a completely new set of rules.

Part of the fun of the originals was that you were totally, blunderingly incompetent at everything. Not so much with this new version.

The text of the older versions is funnier, too.

Don't under estimate how inept we were in the new game. Luckily for my character I couldn't hit a bee hive with a stick and I swung at it four times.
