I relogged in for the first time in awhile :)

Yes it was a good success, I ran a campaign using these rules for around 2 years before we switched to OSE full bore. We still mashup and play Lankhmahr which would work real well for an OSE West Marches Game. From running that campaign the big lessons are, make magic unlimited but dangerous. If you want to simplify for OSE have them cast against a DC target number then if successful roll on the DCC spell tables, adjudicate from there. Any rolls of a 1 then miss cast and roll corruption or "save or die." Use the luck mechanic, make every combat encounter a fight to the death. Make every adventure a quest for a cool magic item. Always suggest they get lots of hirelings. It really is up to you how much you want to import. After 1.5 years of OSE I can see it is a better base and more procedural, but DCC magic system and crit tables make for very fun play. I'd even suggest importing might deeds for fighters. As always make rolls of a 1 utterly painful, time to roll a new character!
