Heroic House Rules for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons or OSRIC
The OSRIC™ System (Old School System Reference and Index Compilation™) exists as a tool so independent designers can create adventures and expanded content compatible with classic First Edition games. However, those game systems were first published in 1970s and over the last 50 years, many changes to how combat, time, ability scores, skills, spells, and many other elements evolved, changed, and adapted to create more character-centric play actions, adding great depth to player choices, but perhaps excessive complexity.
In this book, I am going to share my Heroic House Rules which I hope you enjoy. Consider this chapter as non-commercial content and opinion.
Heroic House Rules (HHR for short) provides a cohesive set of rule changes for both players and game masters looking for a heroic feel to their First Edition games game, but also enjoy a modern and updated flair to some of the later editions and OGL systems such as 4th Edition and Pathfinder Second Edition and its Remastered version. HHR aims to capture the feel and nostalgia of playing the classic modules and adventures without major changes to enemies, core combat numbers or dice, armor class, or spells, but instead focusses on speed of play, convenience, and infusing a sense of heroism and power to both the enemies and the player characters. HHR characters are powerful masters of their craft, driven by personal narratives and ambitions as if they leapt off the pages of a pulp Sword & Sorcery novels by Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, or Fritz Leiber. They also come from settings many players grew up with or have rediscovered with the rise in popularity in old school role-playing game rules.
The goal of Heroic House Rules is to add a frenetic yet tactical pace to combat while amplifying the heroism of your player characters and their adversaries. The result is the ability to run epic, conflict inundated First Edition game session with less players and incredible degrees of brutal carnage. The beauty of HHR is it plays seamlessly with the endless library of First Edition adventures and sourcebooks with minimal modifications, while adding alternate rules and systems for magic and combat that infuse tactics into the moment-to-moment tabletop experience. I personally ran these rules for decades and my players love them.
Now granted, you could play the original First Edition game with the “rules as written” and the goal is not to merely change things for the sake of changing them, but to modernize the pace and feel of combat without disrupting the core balance. You will find changes to things such as how initiative works, time, movement, spell casting, hit points and so on, with optional rules for spell memorization and combat defense, attacks, and counter attacks all of which do not overpower the players in the face of the enemy, but increase the threat and action on both sides of the battle lines.
With so many rules, a game that evolved into a pillar of gaming history and literally hundreds of thousands of published materials, why change anything? To capture the nostalgia from our childhood while adding modern combat sensibilities without compromising existing content.
This booklet uses trade paperback format (5-1/2” x 8-1/2”) which is inexpensive to print if you enjoy having a physical copy. This format is easy to read on mobile devices in single page view and on laptops in two page view while serving as nostalgic homage to Marc Miller’s Traveller.
One final word here. Remember, these are house rules. I’m not selling you anything. I’m not forcing you to do anything. I’m sharing what I found to be fun with the game that changed my life and inspired my career.
Allow me to quote from the Dungeon Master’s Guide on page 9 of the introduction by Gary Gygax,
“The game is the thing, and certain rules can be distorted or disregarded altogether in favor of play.”

      Be sure and check out the White Plume Mountain playlist or the Tomb of Horrors playlist here on tge channel. If you use Foundry VTT, there is an older Classic DM Detail series that walks through the first floor of G1, Steading of the Hill Giant Chief. Each of those videos have extensive discussion on what the original modules says and how players often respond which is how a Dungeon Master needs to think.

    Thanks for sharing your house rules! I like your ability score check method (14:55). If others are curious, here are the most likely outcomes for each Action Difficulty based on their normal curves of probability. Easy [3d6]: 10,11 (each 12.5%) Medium [4d6]: 14 (11.3%) Challenging [5d6]: 17,18 (each 10.3%) Difficult [6d6]: 21 (9.3%) Impossible [10d6]: 35 (7.3%) Here are the probibilities of success where the ability score is 18. Easy [3d6]: 100% Medium [4d6]: 90.3% Challenging [5d6]: 60% Difficult [6d6]: 27.9% Impossible [10d6]: 0.1% I wonder if the Impossible difficulty is not so useful. Maybe cap it at Very Difficult using 7d6? That gives the most likely outcomes being 24 and 25 (each 8.6%) and a likelihood of success for an 18 ability score being 9.4%

    Interesting, I have been working on a boot hill rpg set in 1872 Wyoming territory. A town, surrounding ranches, Indian nations, forts, etc. I would be interested in checking out your system and research on the era, as I have had a love of the frontier era of the U.S. for well over 40 years. Also I started playing RPG'S in the early 80's. I also agree about 3e - current edition being really ridiculous and basically unnecessary in rules, skills, feats and everything else. I personally prefer basic/expert rules for simplicity of play with first edition if you want to play rules heavy. Later editions simply made classes and races obsolete and unnecessary. Clearly in 5e anything can be a character, and any character can basically do any and every single thing that there is now with little to no penalty. Kinda like giving everyone a trophy that shows up, completely destroyed destroyed competitive sports. Enough rant about how wizards screwed up the game lol.

    My group has been playing since level 1, currently level 24, and it's some of our most favorite editions. I think the central issue of 4E is that numbers get really large at high levels. It would take a large and careful overhaul, but 4E with the bounded accuracy from 5E would be wonderful.

      To be fair. I hate that I am the one to say "oh wizards of the Coast are woke bullshitters" in reality I don't care what people want to do or want to identify as, I really couldn't care less, life is life right! We do what we do to get by, simple! What really gets me is that D&D was ALWAYS for the disenfranchised, those outside the mainstream bullshit of fashion following or being "cool". Let's be honest, I was an arsehole in the 80's, I spent my time at football (soccer) in the UK and followed all the hooligan bullshit thinking it was cool and the way to be. But, and this is the thing, when I met my (so called nerd friends) to play D&D, it didn't matter, they were cool with me and vice versa. Now, when you try to game with people, they are looking for reasons to ostracise you or vilify you! And if you dare to call it out, well you are the arsehole, you're the bag guy. I literally had to leave a recent online game as those same nerds and weirdos felt it OK to accuse me of being some sort of bigot and actually sought reasons to demonise me. It's a sad fact but I totally felt that if I was in a room with these people, I would have lived up to their negative stereotype and bashed their heads!!!

    does the ghost disappears only if undisturbed in 3 rounds or the moment you give it one points of energy it will stay there past 3 rounds? getting 50 energy points in 3 rounds do be hard to get

      I see that. I'm emailed and messaged Jon. Hopefully he has not been hassled by WotC

    I use Historicals for my TTRPG world. I just started doing that about three years ago when I started makeing a Real Ancient Culture Fantasy World Analog. My Point: I didn't know that y'all release new modules regularly. I've been looking for some Egyptions that aren't undead or jackle headed or both. Ya'll got anything like that?

      Check Warlord's line. They have TONS of Bronze age/Egyptian New kingdom, Old and Middle Kingdom, Nubians, and Libyans. us.warlordgames.com/collections/new-kingdom-egyptian us.warlordgames.com/collections/old-middle-kingdom-egyptians us.warlordgames.com/collections/nubian-libyan For clarification. My video is FAN content, not Victrix Official. I only say this because the way you phrased your question almost sounds as if you're address Victrix directly. "I didn't know that y'all release new modules regularly. I've been looking for some Egyptions that aren't undead or jackle headed or both. Ya'll got anything like that?" Makes it sound like you're asking a question. Try this or, check their site. info@victrixlimited.com www.victrixlimited.com/en-us

    I generally don’t care for Unearthed Arcana BUT it’s rules for unarmed combat are so much better than the rules in the DMG.

      I'll need to check into that! We never bought that book when it came out as it was during our Classic Traveller binge in College at FAMU School of Architecture.

    Thanks for the walk through. There are definitely things I will change for my group, but I can see why this one is a classic. Looking forward to running a slightly modified version.

      Glad you checked the video out! One of the greatest things about AD&D and all subsequent versions is your ability to modify and change things up to be more fun or even more creative for your players!
