Do you lie awake at night, pondering the deeper meaning of the universe? Why are we here? Who made us? What is our purpose? What the F*ck is OSR gaming and OSR games and "The OSR"? Let's Explore. OG GM: • The old school versus ...
thanks for the shout-out. There is no definition because the OSR is a glob based on perception. TSR D&D and all its retro-clones are OSR Games that are no longer in print that have been revived due to retro clones and the OGL And what is old school style of game
@@drivinganddragons1818plenty if other games were made using the ogl like mutants and masterminds and several old non existent games were able to see a reboot thanks to it like fringworthy
@@drivinganddragons1818 yes but my point was that thanks to this system some dead agmes were able to come back (Frinfworth) And thus fit into my definition of OSR
I started playing late in the Gygaxian era (1982), and played through the Hickman Revolution. Stopped in 1991 because my group broke up after high school. Started again four years ago because my boys wanted to play, and I’ve been playing 5e happily since then. I’d like to play more from the Hickman years; my best memories of playing came from then. I did purchase the OSE books, and I’ve had my eye on some AD&D and 2e stuff (EXPENSIVE), but I haven’t been able to find people for the experience I want yet - in person, on paper, hand drawn maps, and focus on the the game instead of all the things surrounding it. Maybe someday I’ll find a local group of old farts like me and we’ll get our THAC0 on.
Ordinary System Rules. 1st-gen RPGs. Boardgames of the mind. Zero roleplay at the table. Players are playing the map, or they are playing their character sheet. 8-bit Rogue games brought OSR to the personal computer 40+ years ago.
