So, here's what I want to do. I need to compile a list of OSR games, which will then become part of a poll - Which OSR Game do you want me, your friendly neighborhood barkeep, to run as a short story Arc of 2 to 3 sessions on Google+ Hangouts? Once the poll is decided we'll figure out a day, time and TPK victims ;)
I'm going to remove ACKS and DCC RPG from the list, as I already run ACKS pretty much weekly, and I've run a handful of DCC RPG sessions, and should be running some more later on this month for those that played in the earlier sessions.
I suspect the list of options is fairly long, so I'm going to throw a list out there off the top of my head - let me know what I omitted and I'll make sure it's part of the poll when it goes up.
In no particular order:
Labyrinth Lord
Labyrinth Lord AEC
Labyrinth Lord OEC
Swords & Wizardry Core
Swords & Wizardry Complete
Swords & Wizardry White Box
Crypts & Things
Blood & Treasure
Castles & Crusades
Dark Dungeons
Delving Deeper
Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea
OSRIC
Mazes & Perils
For Gold & Glory
Microlite 75
Adventures Dark & Deep
Basic Fantasy RPG
LotFP Weird Fantasy
(added below thanks to readers here and G+)
Mazes & Minotaurs
Worlds Apart (Traveller)
Mutant Future
Realms of Chaos (LL)
Starships & Spacemen
Neoclassical Geek Revival
For Gold & Glory
Myth & Magic
Par Fortuna
Bucklers and Backswords
Space Princess
Tombs & Terrors
Tunnels & Trolls
What needs to be added?
How about Worlds Apart from Expeditious Retreat Press? It's a rework of classic Traveller as a fantasy game, and it's just come out: http://josephbrowning.blogspot.com/2012/09/worlds-apart-pdfs-now-for-sale.html
ReplyDeleteyou mean the game in the upper left hand corner of this blog?
ReplyDeletethat game?
eh - why not? adding to the list ;)
Blood and Treasure, perhaps? Your review prompted me to order it. I opted for the cheap shipping, though. It'll be weeks till it gets here. So, maybe not that. So... LoTFP!
ReplyDelete@edgar - both are already on the list ;)
ReplyDeleteCrap. I was answering the wrong question. What I heard in my head was, "So, Edgar, what do you want to play next?"
ReplyDeleteLuckily I didn't choose "Global Thermonuclear War."
How about Small But Vicious Dog?
Mutant Future
ReplyDeleteRotworld
Encounter Critical
Neoclassical Geek Revival
Whoops! I didn't see Mutant Future was already on the list. So I'll add some more:
ReplyDeleteMystery Men!
Pars Fortuna
Space Princess
For Gold & Glory
Myth & Magic
i tend to avoid supers, don't know of space princess.
ReplyDeleteRotworld is an old pacesetter game engine - dont have it myself, and if it uses the old chill / space ace charts - er, no ;)

ReplyDeleteHow about a steel cage match? Astonishing Swordsmen would win hands down. Besides having a deadly cool Weird Tales, Clark Ashton Smith, REH, HPL feel to it, the game is a boxed set with dice.
Tombs & Terrors
ReplyDeleteVillains & Vigilantes
Dungeons &Dragons (it's OSR, isn't it?)
Basic Dungeons & Dragons (Holmes, B/X, BECMI)
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
En Garde
Flashing Blades
ZeFRS (Conan RPG)
Beasts, Men & Gods
Chivalry & Sorcery
The Fantasy Trip: In The Labyrinth
Dragonquest
Tombs & Terrors - forgot that one
ReplyDeleteVillains & Vigilantes - i dont do supers
Dungeons &Dragons (it's OSR, isn't it?) sure, but the clones come damn close and are easier on my aging eyes ;)
Basic Dungeons & Dragons (Holmes, B/X, BECMI) s/a/a
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - i could use the reprints - my old 1e books are shot to shit
En Garde - out of print
Flashing Blades - i avoided this back in the day - I might as well run Swordbearer if I could find the box ;)
ZeFRS (Conan RPG) - have the original - didn't like it
Beasts, Men & Gods - very OOP
Chivalry & Sorcery - have 2e - head still hurts and my eyes damned me ;)
The Fantasy Trip: In The Labyrinth - OOP
Dragonquest - have it - i'd need to hit up Padre to teach me how to play it
(but since we are straying, i may as well as T&T ;)
Stars Without Number!

Jeewillickers! We forgot Hackmaster. Just saw the new Player's Handbook in FLGS. I'm pretty sure Clerics can wield it as a blunt weapon.
