I run BX-ish DnD using the best modifications from LotFP but reference a Moldvay book at the table. I just finished running <a href="http://chaudronchromatique.blogspot.com/2015/05/cover-for-mini-zine.html" rel="nofollow">Gormand's Larder</a> which is just the definition of vibrant new OSR, and I dropped some hooks for the players leading them to Steading of the Hill Giant Chief by good ol' Gygax.Lumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490249051095856396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750858425589737642.post-78244177717384020042015-09-03T20:55:15.191+01:002015-09-03T20:55:15.191+01:00Common destiny, I have just moved to, and, as in ...Common destiny, I have just moved to, and, as in your case, 4 boxes were full of rpgs stuff. And how heavy they were! But, as other stated above, I have no doubt I would surely choose to lose OSR books. This is not just for the content, but it is also for the perfume (smell?) that the old books, many of them bought around the world with eBay (can you imagine how rare is this kind of books in Italy? And nowadays seems to be back to the eighties as there is no D&D translation), release. And not to mention the notes penciled in by old gamers. I understand this is a nostalgic explanation, but I feel the hours of fun some other kids/adults had thanks to those pages. OS surely then is my choice.

Why? Can't rightly say. More than nostalgia. I think it has to do with comfort level maybe? Or just what I've become accostomed to. And a lot of the newer OSR stuff is just . . . not me.Hamlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135081554790749914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750858425589737642.post-32782906472359810822015-09-03T13:35:31.741+01:002015-09-03T13:35:31.741+01:00My impression is that OSR has the old school aesth...My impression is that OSR has the old school aesthetic with fewer insane rules.Stuart Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100216520313336932noreply@blogger.com
