    Why do so many people think that OSR = low level only? The average TSR AD&D module is a LV 6 to 9.5 adventure, according to Wikipedia.

    I'm just curious about so many people who like to dictate how other groups play OSR games. I see so many people wanting to limit the level of other groups. Don't get me wrong, if you have been having fun playing for years at LV 1~3, have fun. What I don't like is when people try to dictate how...

    My homebrew Demonologist "kit" for 2e(that can be adapted to OSR games)

    I always enjoyed risky magic. But sadly it can only work on P&P. Losing control over a CR 24 elemental on a TT game as a lv 12 caster can be a reload on BG2 and a party wipe on P&P. The idea of "kits" was introduced on 2e and this is only a homebrew attempt to make a class fantasy which was...
