OSRIC has a weird history in the OSR. Originally conceived as a tool to help 3rd party publishers release material for AD&D 1e, it soon became apparent that folks were actually using the new presentation of the classic ruleset at the table. I've done that, and it is easier to reference than the rules that inspired it.
OSRIC also opened the door for the clones and simularcums that followed it. If Castles & Crusades was "proto-OSR", OSRIC was the first complete ruleset to be OSR.
When I returned to DMing some dozen years or so ago, I chose AD&D1e, with the option to use OSRIC in lieu of AD&D 1E core books, and the sessions ran fine. I was hooked, 100%.
This book represents a compilation of rules for old school-style fantasy roleplay gaming, and is intended to reproduce the underlying rules used in the late 1970s to early 1980s. A complete game manual in itself, this source reference document (SRD) includes everything the game master and player alike require for beginning to advanced level play. This compact A5 trim of the OSRIC SRD is available exclusively through James D. Kramer contains the OSRIC rules, complete with indexes. Includes all Knights-n-Knaves.com errata through January 2013, and updated magic item tables.
