[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8666373, member: 7026594"] OSRIC is one of the early pillars of the OSR, of course, being a rules reference for (slightly clarified) 1E AD&D. I've never played with it yet, but if I specifically wanted 1E, it'd be my go-to. Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea is functionally a lightly houseruled AD&D with its own Conan-esque setting, which naturally has lots of variant humans instead of the classic Tolkien races. I've only played it a little, but I quite like it. I don't know a lot of specific for-1E AD&D OSR modules. Most OSR content nowadays seems to be aimed primarily at OSE AKA B/X, or deliberately kind of generic, intended to work with minimal conversion or adjustment for any TSR-era edition. One place you probably want to take a look at is Dragonsfoot.org, which is one of the oldest OS sites I know of, dating to before the OSR as a movement really started, as a site focused primarily on 1E AD&D. Their forums are a little more inclusive now, generally open to any pre-WotC edition, but the free content they host is mostly still 1E. They have at least a couple of dozen free modules for download, including additional entries in Len Lakofka's Lendore Isles series, building on what he published with TSR as L1 The Secret of Bone Hill, and L2 The Assassin's Knot. Len used to be a regular there. [/QUOTE]
