OSRIC: something for the old schoolers

[Odhanan]

Heh. Cool. Thanks Grodog.

I hope we'll soon see some adventures and supplements using OSRIC; I could make use of them.

I'm certain you will; I'm aware of several in the works.

That makes sense. So this is something Rob Kuntz is using for his new series of modules?

I don't think he is, although he certainly could.

I believe that Cairn of the Skeleton King and its sequels will use Rob's CU stat system.

Reading through this was one SERIOUS trip down memory lane!

Looks good, I hope it sees a lot of use.

On one hand, I sympathize with the goal of this project.

On the other hand, I think there's better alternatives to it already on the market (e.g. Castles and Crusades).

Nonetheless, good job.

I've got no problem with Castles and Crusades at all. But it doesn't do the same thing that OSRIC does, so I don't think it's an "alternative."

I'm curious. Are you saying there is enough of an interest in the 1E ruleset to create a market? Or there is already enough interest and active use of the 1E ruleset that it is an economically feasible idea to supply the existing market? Or what?

No, not at all.

Or there is already enough interest and active use of the 1E ruleset that it is an economically feasible idea to supply the existing market?

I hate to say this - it sounds like such a cop-out - but there's no other answer: it depends what you mean by "economically feasible".

If "economically feasible" means "hey let's give up my day job and write OSRIC-compatible materials for a living", then no, of course not.

But if "economically feasible" means "can I make the price of a few drinks publishing the OSRIC-compatible materials which I would be writing anyway for my campaign or existing game", then yes, of course it is.

PapersAndPaychecks,

could you send me an e-mail at josephbrowning@gmail.com? I have some questions/comments concerning OSRIC.

Thanks,
