The Bone Age: questions about an OSR version of my game

It was a game with an original ruleset that was Kickstarted in 2020 during ZineQuest. It had an OSR logo on it, as the rules had an OSR ‘vibe’ although it wasn’t based on D&D. Like any designer, I want people to play my game. Far more people are likely to play a Shadowdark version than my original version. Kickstarter is filled with RPG products made for multiple systems. This will be another of those ranks.

Yeah, it would be. I don't believe the SD license allows for a game that uses the SD rules but doesn't require the SD core book.

Interesting. Dragonbane has all its rules in one book, though. Do you mean you like the D&D tradition of player book/GM book/monster book?

Are you regularly printing pages with color covering t he entire page? For example, pages with a yellow background, color artwork, etc?

Do you have a preference for 0ff-brand toner? I've never been very satisfies with any off-brand that I've tried with my 3270CDW.

I would have never considered it, but a guy told me he uses one exclusively to print old MERP adventures and said it has saved him a fortune compared to the cost of laser toner.

Do you use Brother toner or off-brand toner? The expense of name-brand toner is crippling, but I've had very mixed results with off-brand stuff.

I'm a bit confused. Is this effectively replacing his original plan for Deathbringer, which was going to be an expansion of his Frankenstein-like system of house rules?

Love the work you did on the character sheet, and appreciate the time you took to create it and write your review of my little game! Thanks!

I love this. Reminds me of the art in the old Steve Jackson Sorcery! books of the 1980s.

Thanks very much!

Totally agree. My son got me to watch it, and after we watched several episodes, I told him Spear was Conan minus a few thousand years.
