Dungeons & Dragons Founder Robert Kuntz Blasts Wizards Of The Coast As "Disgusting Slime" For Attacking Original Creators
Robert Kuntz, one of the founders of Dungeons & Dragons, blasted Wizards of the Coast for attacking him and his fellow original creators in the preface to the recently released book, Dungeons & Dragons - the Making of Original D&D: 1970-1977.
If you really want to do tabletop RPGs, look up BFRPG (Basic Fantasy Roleplaying Game).It's free to download and has a fuckton to player made content that is supported by the dev. Made to mimic the feel of classic RPGs.
Looking at this now. Any opinion on this vs OSRIC?
BFRPG is essentially a 3.0 core pared waaaaaaay back to approximate BECMI/ b/x as much as possible. OSRIC is going to feel completely different, but since you're asking, I'm assuming you know how 1e 'feels'.
All of the BFRPG products are easily worth what you'd pay for the printed copies on Amazon. Great value for the money.
Never tried OSRIC so I can't comment there, but BFRPG was a weekly staple when I was younger. Super easy to run, easy to homebrew for, nice art too.
