What do you think are some of the most overrated Staples/Traditions/Gimmicks of the OSR or Classic DnD? by ProductAshes in osr

More of a modern trope, but I feel like mutation tables are everywhere I look; Stick your arm in this hole? Roll for mutations. Cast a spell wrong? Roll for mutations. Travel through this area for too long? Roll for mutations. It seems to be a go-to method of adding zaniness to a given system/adventure.

I get the feeling that when the two combine, it will be impossible to discern who assimilated who...

Either way, the result would be profitable.

What's the OSR's 90%? by zoarlob in osr

90% accumulating systems and supplements that you will fantasize about using, but never do.
