So I have been writing up my version of OD&D (the 3 LBB plus Supplement 1), taking what is there, reorganizing and reworking the text to be better organized. I've added a few bits I like from other systems, notably the Spell Repertoire system from Adventurer, Conqueror, King System, but noted what the original text said for purists.
I chose "Adventures in the Green" as the name for my rules. Book I: Characters contains everything you need to make a character and I now have a complete Draft B of those rules I'm willing to share as a PDF. I've been working on it the last month to get it into shape instead of typing up session notes to post here, so I thought y'all should see what I've been up to. The link above will take you to Mediafire and let you download the PDF. I'd love to hear back what you think of it so far.
There are a few oddities in it that come from the original texts that were surprising to me, like no where do the rules for thieves state that humans can be thieves, like the rules do for Fighters, Magic-Users, and Clerics. I ran with that. I also renamed hobbits/halflings as Tolk, as a nod to where they were sourced from without their name feeling intrusive.
The artwork is all placeholder right now. I'll probably go with public domain woodcut artwork when I go to final layout, but I want to do some playtesting of the rules as they are right now to see if I need to re-write or tweak anything. The pages are A5-sized as I like the booklet format for rules now days as they take less room at the table.
BookII: Creatures is in an early Draft B stage and I'd like to have it done by the end of June, but that timetable depends on how busy work is and how things are going with my mother [long story that I'm not going into now other than she is now living with me part time and my sister the other half].
In the meantime, I'll get back to posting session notes for the Shattered Star AP.
[Narrator: He didn't.]
Later!
Adventures in the Green
Book II: Conflicts
Book III Campaigns
