[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 8826098, member: 25818"] Short answer: yes. Somewhat longer answer: you can get a Classic Fantasy box set with the rules separated into five separate thin books: Characters, Magic, etc. Or, you can get all of the Classic Fantasy rules in one book, the OSE Classic Fantasy Rules Tome. Both of these are the classic B/X rules, extensively cleaned up, edited, and reformatted in a really good way. I cannot emphasize enough how good the formatting is in these. For each class, for example, all of the rules you need for the class (aside from spells) are on two facing pages. If all you want is B/x, this is the [URL='https://necroticgnome.com/collections/rules/products/old-school-essentials-rules-tome']tome [/URL]or [URL='https://necroticgnome.com/collections/rules/products/old-school-essentials-classic-fantasy-box-set']box set[/URL] to get. Then there's the Advanced Fantasy rules. The Kickstarter is for this, to repackage it. OSE AF is basically an attempt to take the stuff from 1st edition AD&D and find a way to fit it in to B/X D&D. So, for example, the Barbarian and Acrobat are available classes, but they're drastically changed to fit B/X power levels and mechanics. AF also allows you to separate class and race if desired. Again, there's a [URL='https://necroticgnome.com/collections/rules/products/old-school-essentials-advanced-fantasy-box-set']box set[/URL] or separate [URL='https://necroticgnome.com/collections/rules/products/old-school-essentials-advanced-fantasy-players-tome']Player's[/URL] and [URL='https://necroticgnome.com/collections/rules/products/old-school-essentials-advanced-fantasy-referees-tome']Referee's Tomes[/URL] so you can get little thin books or big, thick tomes. And the formatting is again, on point. [/QUOTE]
