[OSRIC] v1.01 release date

[Melan]

Pod-Caverns in March, The Red Mausoleum in May, The Curse of the Witch Head in July, and (if I get it finished and tested in time) The Lost Keys to Solitude in September. After that, I have a trio of adventures being written right now and will hopefully have them prepared for November, December, January.

Old-School gaming is back in distribution for the stores who wish to carry it.

Lost Keys to Solitude... is that another James Boney adventure?

After that, I have a trio of adventures being written right now and will hopefully have them prepared for November, December, January.

These would be Bill Silvey's ones, am I right in thinking?

Suzi and I are writing that one. There's a good chance that it's going to be double-sized. One booklet with the adventure a second booklet with monsters and new magic items.

Indeed.

Glad to see there are multiple electronic and print versions so people can pick up OSRIC as they prefer.

I want it it using these spellings.

Will the book on tape version have a British or American reader?

Ooh, a 32-page, 30,000-word double helping of OSRICy goodness?

Just have to say Papers ... HOORAY!

• Double quotation marks (and I disagree that single quotation marks are "British")

Almost all British books and magazines use them, Butcher's and Hart's Rules specify them . . . I also (though I find myself writing in weird transatlantic hybrids on message boards) think double quotation marks are ugly because gratuitous.

Excellent news all-around!!

Almost all British books and magazines use them, Butcher's and Hart's Rules specify them . . . I also (though I find myself writing in weird transatlantic hybrids on message boards) think double quotation marks are ugly because gratuitous.

On reading this, I just had to reach over to my book collection and check. The first three books I grabbed used single inverted commas, the second two, double ones.

According to a poll of how many Brits prefer double inverted commas, the answer was overwhelmingly in favour of them. Admittedly, this was a poll that I just took, of me, but I'm persuaded by it.
