- Do you lie awake at night, pondering the deeper meaning of the universe?
Why are we here? Who made us? What is our purpose?
What the F*ck is OSR gaming and OSR games and "The OSR"?
Let's Explore.

OSR = Based...❤

I started playing late in the Gygaxian era (1982), and played through the Hickman Revolution. Stopped in 1991 because my group broke up after high school. Started again four years ago because my boys wanted to play, and I’ve been playing 5e happily since then.
I’d like to play more from the Hickman years; my best memories of playing came from then. I did purchase the OSE books, and I’ve had my eye on some AD&D and 2e stuff (EXPENSIVE), but I haven’t been able to find people for the experience I want yet - in person, on paper, hand drawn maps, and focus on the the game instead of all the things surrounding it. Maybe someday I’ll find a local group of old farts like me and we’ll get our THAC0 on.
@@michaelcrumlett187 lol THAC0...a relic that has become a litmus test
Ordinary System Rules. 1st-gen RPGs. Boardgames of the mind. Zero roleplay at the table. Players are playing the map, or they are playing their character sheet. 8-bit Rogue games brought OSR to the personal computer 40+ years ago.
Oh Shonner of the small window, impart to us thy wisdom lol
@@drivinganddragons1818 RIOT!
thanks for the shout-out.
There is no definition because the OSR is a glob based on perception.
TSR D&D and all its retro-clones are OSR
Games that are no longer in print that have been revived due to retro clones and the OGL
And what is old school style of game
@@TheOGGMsAdventures the OGL only applies to D&D and the D20 sysyem started by WOTC. It arguably has no bearing whatsoever on the OSR
@@drivinganddragons1818plenty if other games were made using the ogl like mutants and masterminds and several old non existent games were able to see a reboot thanks to it like fringworthy
@@TheOGGMsAdventures yes, but the OGL explicitly applies to the D20 system. That's it. If it isn't a d&d derived game, it's not OGL.
@@drivinganddragons1818 yes but my point was that thanks to this system some dead agmes were able to come back (Frinfworth) And thus fit into my definition of OSR
Great vid, mate!
Thank you sir
Mostly good. I dont give much credit to Hickman, again something that was already done before him.
But not as well, of at least nowhere near as prolificly.
@@drivinganddragons1818 😂 I disagree, but I'm not a big fan of Dragonlance either. Modules were crap, never read the books
Books are excellent and it's very hard to argue against Ravenloft. (I'm also not certain he had much to do with the actual adventure modules
@@drivinganddragons1818 I owned original Ravenloft, it was not so impressive as others say. It was good. IMO.
@@calvanoni5443 I think you just made every character 10 levels lower than you roll vs death man... 7th level spells in the comments
