Old School Revival - Classic Rules Table Top Role-playing and the OSR Hobby

Rules- The community is to tiny, we can be really rules light at this point.

  1. Don't be a jerk.

  2. Everyone is welcome.

  3. Try to stay kind of on topic.

New to OSR?

Here are three widely tested systems which offer free PDF rulebooks.

Basic Fantasy Created to be compatible with 3/3.5e, this is fully fleshed out OSE goodness written to be more approachable. Uses ascending armor class. Print options are sold at near cost and are very very inexpensive.

Old School Essentials Basic OSE is the most popular reproduction of the original B/X set. Uses descending armor class. With several different iterations at several different prices, this PDF is free and covers the basics. Enough to get a game going.

White Box : Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game A spiritual successor to Swords & Sorcery White Box. This is the complete OSR experience. Uses descending armor class, but contains alternate status for ascending. Like Basic Fantasy, the print version is under five bucks on amazon.

Active Time Event!!! is a 60ish? page zine chock full of a d66 of Science Fantasy JRPG backgrounds designed for use with Troika! by Melsonian Arts Council. It has a mixed media feel, and will tickle the fancy of any OSR loving weaboo. Our Science Fantasy Expert Nerds have spent the better part of a year yelling at each other about Time Travel shenanigans referencing the likes of Chrono Trigger, Futurama, Space Dandy, Deltron 3030, Signalis, Yugimonz, The Butterfly Effect (yes– the one with Ashton Kutcher), & Many Many More! Please back this product to validate the Nerds' myriad efforts.

The crowdfunder for a run of zines starts 2/10/24, this Saturday. The goal is a measly dang $600!
