Interest Check for Old School D&D ruleset

[JohnD]

I've never seen so much activity in this section of the forum. Hopefully the energy and enthusiasm on display carries through to completion - it would be interesting to have another option for OSR style games.

I heard back from Bill Webb of Frog God Games. He reaffirmed that all content in both the Core and Complete Rules (Complete includes additional classes, no rules changes) are usable in the ruleset and as reference modules.

Fantastic news. Nice one.

Fantastic news. Nice one.

The only exception is art, which is no big deal, honestly. Frog God Games has been fantastic to work with on this and for putting together the Lost Lands Wiki. I was already a fan of their work but their willingness to work with the community is a tremendous boon for those of us that enjoy OSR-style gaming.

It might take me awhile to get it done but I fully intend to complete it. My biggest limitation is time. I also have a vested interest in completing it - I want to use it too!

Likewise for me. My barrier isn't lack of time, it is lack of knowledge. I have faith I can bust that door down (reaching for my d6). But, at some point, I may need to lean on some of the more experienced guys to be able to work thru some of the challenges ahead.

The kickstarter is going into the final 24 hours. The $225 complete gamer is becoming a better and better deal as each stretch goal gets hit.

As soon as zhern starts, I will try and help. Probably at first by getting the text ready for inclusion and then slowly looking for bugs.

I've started on the reference module for the Complete Rules. Once I get that finished I'll be glad to have you all proof it. After that, I'll get started on the ruleset.

To add to what Myrdin said about the Complete Gamer Package from the S&W Kickstarter, here is an unofficial tally of what it comes with from one of the other backers:

A little easier to do the text for the rules here as there is a word version available. Usually I have to cut and paste from PDF and then remove the extra lf it creates. I have that semi-automated but still need to proof read afterwards.

Hah, I didn't realize there was a word doc. I exported the PDF to text and am working from that. It came out pretty clean and I've only noticed a few small errors from the export.

Tenkar hosts a word version somewhere. I am in China on a slow VPN now and too frustrating to search ...
