I actually dig this rule. Original Edition Delta has done this for many years.
Was it B4, The Lost City, that first did this in 1982? Obviously 5E in 2014 is a more well-known example now.
Didn't Justin Lanasa claim that? Are they working together? I'm already disinclined to give Gillespie money, but that'd be ANOTHER serious mark against him.
Yeah, there were pre-generated equipment packs going way back. I think Tome of Horrors also had them. I was just saying that even in modern game design - even in the core rulebooks - this is been an ongoing thing.
I haven't read anything about them working together.
That is like, not to bring politics into it, saying Dr. Jill Biden shouldn't be called Doctor. They put in the work for their doctorates, they earned them and just because you disagree with their political stance doesn't mean you can erase their earned titles. It's not like, and I am one so I am qualified to say this, they are Houngans calling themselves "doctor" because they can perform miraculous healings. The title is Houngan.
So yet another OSR grognard to add to the auto-skip pile. Got it.
Never heard of this. I'll have to read through it, thanks!
I thought his whole thing was trying to use TSR?
I wouldn't consider him a pile of crap, he's not a twitter junkie attacking LGBT etc on twitter for think female space marines would be cool and calling John Blanche a tourist. I won't support him or Milo's boy who does ACKS but ya know that's a different grade too.
It's a neat set of OD&D house rules and refinements. Dan's blog, Delta's D&D Hotspot, is one of the OGs of the OSR blog movement (bearing in mind that the movement started on message forums a few years earlier), dating back to 2007. He's slowed down his pace of posting because he does more stuff on the Wandering DMs Youtube channel nowadays, but the blog is still active.
Primarily, but he created OSR Games, LLC as an apparent legal dodge to hide assets in when he filed bankruptcy as TSR, LLC, and I remember he had a few other flimsy names as "sponsors" for his ridiculous little proposed convention at the Horticultural Hall in Lake Geneva during GaryCon. I thought I remembered OSR Publishing being one of the names on his convention ad/poster, but I did a little digging through the nuTSR thread yesterday and haven't found it yet.
