Osric retroclone ruleset

I would like to thank you for your hard work on the OSRIC-Ruleset in the name of my adventure company!

Iam leading a 2nd-Edition AD&D campain with old friends and tons of house rules in the Forgotten Realms setting. This OSRIC-Ruleset make ist possible to play with our old school 2nd Edition. We all love it an dont want to upgrade to 3.5, pathfinder or 4th edition rules since we possess nearly all rules and supplemental guides that were publihes in german language.

Iam still looking forward to the completion of the monster manual, it will make my live as dungeon master much easier (the monsters from osric fit nearly perfect into 2nd-Edition AD&D).

Keep on yout good work on this!

PS : I'm working on the monsters module but I haven't much time these days. :o

Heya Rule of Three! What could be done to help get this developed and ready for official FG use? I'm a publisher of OSRIC material (got something like 25 modules or so) and I'd love to have a ruleset so that I could get OSRIC adventures here at Fantasy Grounds. I'd love to help if possible and there's always the chance I could finagle other OSRIC fans into helping as well. I'll periodically check back here, but please drop me an e-mail at [email protected].

Sincerely,

The Monsters module is 75% done and I'm thinking of updating this ruleset after the new 2.9 DD3 ruleset. I've started a very simple Heroquest 2 ruleset and will update OSRIC next. I will try to finish the module if it can help.

Glad to hear! If you find yourself needing help with data entry or other stuff that just about anyone could do, I'm pretty sure there are those in the OSRIC community that would be glad to help to make things easier for you.

How goes the progress... wondering if you need help at all on the work you are doing. Loving this ruleset so far.

I'm currently working on my Heroquest II ruleset. Monsters module is not a priority because, as many people here, I play Ad&d with this ruleset, not OSRIC per see. Updating OSRIC Ruleset to the new 2.9 DD3.5 will be a great task but I've work hard on it for HQ2.

I've downloaded the ruleset OSRIC.ZIP file and I'm not sure on where to place it.

If someone with a little knowlegde of the osric ruleset could give me a push in the right direction - you'd have my thanks.

You just need to extract the zip file to the fantasy grounds working directory under ruleset directory. I am under windows 7 so my tree is c:/user/mediaicon/appdata/roaming/fantasy grounds ii/ruleset/OSRIC/

Depends. You could also open the folder in your start menu to get to the working directory. (Application Data Icon)

Hope this was of some help.

Thanks mediaicon,

I'll give this a try.

I will start the new ruleset in 2013. If you wants changes to character sheets or others minors variations, post it here. ;)
