The Old School Reference and Index Compilation, or "OSRICTM", is the retro-clone of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons First Edition game published by TSR, Inc. in the late 1970's and early 1980's. First released in 2006, OSRIC was one of the first retro-clones to hit the gaming scene and garnered a great deal of attention, both good and ill, from the larger gaming community. OSRIC paved the way for other retro-clones such as Labyrinth Lord (retro-clone of the Moldvay Basic/Expert D&DTM game) and Swords & Wizardry (retro-clone of the Original Dungeons & Dragons game, or OD&DTM ).

This SECOND PRINTING is a case-bound hardback release of OSRIC and contains the latest 'version' of the OSRIC rules - version 2.2 for those that keep track of such things - and has fixed all currently known errata. In addition, the Black Blade Publishing & Usherwood Publications imprint of OSRIC has these features:

  • Eleven new full page, black & white illustrations from artists such as Peter Mullen, John Bingham, Peter Fitzpatrick, Peter Smzer, Brian Thomas, Steve Robertson, Mark Allen, and Jim Holloway.
  • A new and expanded, four-page OSRIC index, developed by Jason Zavoda.
  • A new Index of Tables, also developed by Jason Zavoda.
  • A heavy, 70# grade of interior paper stock, giving the OSRIC hardback a 3.1 lb. heft.
  • Cardinal (red), 80# endpage stock, giving OSRIC an old school finishing touch.
  • Gold PIece (GP) values have been added to the treasure tables in Chapter 6 Treasure.

    Mixed feelings

    Review: If you already own the 1e AD&D books, and love the heavy handed language, and can find any rule you like with ease than avoid purchase. However if you feel a need for plain language, better organization, slightly tweaked rules, etc, this is for you. It's best feature is the DMG,PHB and MM are all in one nicely bound book. Oh I should mention that the monster section contains most of the critters from the MM1 and some, unless I`m mistaken, from MM2 and Fiend Folio.
