Did I read the rules right in that players don't choose who to attack, it's random? For theater of the mind play, I kind of like this way of doing things.

And to be clear, for those that don't follow her, she only made the one. She's not mass producing these.

@Peter BOSCO'S Are you affiliated with BOSCO'S in Anchorage! I love that place!

Love AD&D and the OSR systems from fans wanting to take their stab at improving it. In what ways do you plan on deviating from the original?

@GreyLord I'm still a bit unclear which one you prefer, but OSRIC 3.0 includes ascending and descending AC, so it has you covered. (y)

Been a fan since I saw him on The Wire. Speaking of which, I wonder how his costar West is doing... Oh dear... :oops:

Awesome! I have three for this year: Paradise Lost (my favorite book, but can't seem to finish it...), LotR (movies were so good, I've put off reading the actual book), and Alien Clay (my first sci-fi book!). I liked that it was left up to the reader to decide if aimless heroism is admirable...

I enjoy that creator a lot and sympathize with her frustration, but "stolen" is a bit dramatic here. She provided inspiration at best.

Very true and I appreciate the efforts to preserve the old rules in a more readable format. Your comment and @jonesymat 's made me grab my old AD&D book off the shelf and it kind of clicked what they were going for. 0D&D Theives just had disable since looking for traps with words was the norm...

For boardgames, I'm really into dungeon crawlers. Like, REALLY into them. I've donated 2/3 of my collection over the years to make room, but still have a walk-in closet full of them. Darn you HeroQuest for starting this! For CCGs, I play Lorcana with my wife, but my current favorite is Sorcery...

OSRIC is the same way. Key difference is in Dragonslayer the rule applies to small traps too! Seems pretty small, but important distinction for me since I like my low-level Thieves to succeed in their profession. Also, it opens up the possibility of allowing for rolls despite not looking for...

Never liked requiring the Thief to make a die roll to actually find traps. Makes the class underwhelming at low-level thanks to the poor chance of success. Similar to OSE. Games that handle this better (IMO, of course): Castles & Crusades: Higher level of success (50% vs 20%). Dragonslayer...

Just saw OSRIC 3.0 Player's Guide is on Drive-Thru for free! Downloading now. Looking forward to flipping through it tonight.

@FitzTheRuke Thanks for the feedback. It's great to hear your store is doing well. That makes me wonder if the owners of my FLGS just don't want to bother finding another distributor (they've gone through Diamond for about 30 years I think) and happy just being a MtG store (which was making 90%...

I went into my small town's only Friendly Local Gaming Store (FLGS) and was surprised to see how empty it was, especially during the holidays. Employee said it was due to two factors: No longer being able to order from Diamond and needing to buy a massive amount of MtG product thanks to WotC's...

Speaking of tater-tots, I haven't found a single bag that has the "real" instructions to make them right in an air fryer. 0. Purchase any brand beside Ore-Ida (Sorry fans, but they just don't make them like they used to). 1. Place frozen tots in a bowl and lightly spray with oil. Season with...

A good friend of mine is from Minnesota and introduced me to hotdish (tater-tot casserole). It's been a lot of fun finding new recipes online and trying them out. Pretty hard to get a bad one honestly. Here's the one I plan to make next: Rep. Tim Walz's winning hotdish recipe

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but it's balanced in that it offers equal opportunity to all players to have the same stats. In 5e where one extra bonus point is the differences of 4 levels, it's my preferred method to keep things fair.
