OSR RPG Adventures and Creators Guide

This document discusses the history and creativity of the Old School Renaissance (OSR) tabletop role-playing game movement. It notes that while OSRIC helped kick off the movement, it was not the original text that inspired later retro-clones. It recommends several rulesets and adventure modules written by key figures in the OSR community as examples of the true creativity in the space.

Don't focus so much on the rulesets, they are basically vessels for adventures.

Also the OSRIC kicked off the movement, but its not the UR-text from which all
other retro-clones flowed. If you want history, which you seem to be intrested in,
try reading Playing at the World by Jon Peterson.

Also I wouldn't spend so much time in various rulesets that are essentially the
same: Play Swords and Wizardry for 0e D&D, Old School Essentials for BX D&D. And if
you want exotic:

MOTHERSHIP

TROKIA!

Into The ODD

Knave
