[QUOTE="Hrothgar Rannúlfr, post: 4585479, member: 54436"] To all those that worked on putting OSRIC together... :D[B]THANK YOU![/B]:D One of my friends and I have been discussing the various issues that we keep encountering playing Third Edition and keep trying to houserule. When discussing it the other day, I listed off a large number of things from AD&D that AD&D handled adequately that we were trying to houserule into 3E. He said, "Why did we ever quit playing AD&D?" After all, it's easier to add things into AD&D than it is to strip them out of 3E, at least from our perspective. He mentioned wanting to DM, too. That through a monkeywrench into things, for me. My AD&D books are so old and beat up that they should be under glass with a librarian that turns only one page a month under climate controlled conditions. So, loning them out is out of the question. But, now, thanks to OSRIC and my local Half-Price Books stores, I've been able to put together a DMing package for him to use. For us, AD&D will live again through OSRIC and we will again tell stories of a time before the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the suns of Aries... If OSRIC were onsale at my FLGS, I'd have bought three copies in hardback, today. Thankfully, some folks in town just sold off some very good looking copies of many of the different orange-spined AD&D books. Those, together with OSRIC will allow us to revive AD&D for us. AD&D, to me, is the heart and soul of D&D. Thank you for OSRIC. Keep up the good work! [/QUOTE]
