Since the plan is to release the final PDFs into the wild for free, is there any chance we could see an export of the text in markdown? Personally, I'm an Obsidian.md user, and I would love to be able to drop markdown formatted rules into my personal vault for reference at the table. I would expect such a release would be a bare bones, no art kind of deal. Just throwing it out there to try to manifest it into existence.

PROJECT UPDATE

Project Update: OSRIC Minor Update: Basic Progress Report

This week’s objective: I am going to start putting together the pledge manager, the survey, and late pledges this week so we can move forward with the administrative side of things. We are planning on distributing the early review drafts as attachments to a backers-only update, so we don’t actually need the surveys at this time.

Progress: Since the last update, our main focus has been progress on the draft itself, so we can start sending pieces of it out for you all to review and comment on. Normally I would do a lot more self-editing on a draft before sending it out, but in this project where rules-accuracy is crucial, I think that getting early “catches” of mistakes is the higher priority. I have finished the monster section and the whole character creation section, and these will probably be the first two sections we distribute for review. You will probably see the first test (of getting a piece of the draft to you) some time this week.

Thanks for backing this project! I am working full time on it (about 50 hours per week), and progress is good so far. I’ve incorporated the comments from North Texas readers, nailed down the language on spacing/distance, ordered more art this week from Del Teigeler, and ordered some top-down illustrations from Brett Barkley for diagrams of the spacing/distance text. I'm going to start on the illusionist, druid, and magic-user spells next (Cleric spells are finished but still rough).

Edit

Any chances some of the material from the.1.5 era will show up as optional rules? I know weapon specialization showed up in previous versions of OSRIC, but what about non weapon proficiencies or extra races and classes or monsters or spells?

Despite cries for Portrait style, which I’m not knocking, Landscape is novel and I believe it will be utile, too. Just want to be sure that’s what I’ll receive:) I got the all-in. Thanks.

Will this new version fill in some of the missing rules and fix the sample dungeon? I'm delighted to back this project. I play AD&D 1E (with lots of home rules/customizations) and I still have all of the original books, But OSRIC 2 has been a very handy reference for most things, given the better organization and plain language. I love me some HIgh Gygaxian, but not when I need something fast. OSRIC has been great. BUT, I'm curious if OSRIC 3 will address some omissions in OSRIC 2. Here are some things I recently found/didn't find: 1. The sample dungeon isn't keyed. There are key descriptions but the map isn't numbered so there's no way to know which description is where on the map. 2. I can't find a table or reference regarding monster hit dice vs other monsters that require magical weapons or silver to hit (e.g. DMG p. 75). 3. I can't find reference about spellcasters detecting scrying as noted for invisibility (DMG pp. 60, 119). In OSRIC, detecting invisibility is instead by DM fiat rather than by table. Is the same true for detecting scrying? 4. Any guidance for magic resistance? This is notoriously vague in AD&D and I have long (long) interpreted the specific language choice used in the MM to mean arcane magic only. I'm curious about your take for OSRIC. Regardless, I'm ridiculously giddy for this project and I'm eager to get my hands on it. Thanks for all you do.
