OS&R: Oubliettes, Sorcery, & Reavers

OS&R bridges the gap between the speed and simplicity of the Original Seed and OSR games and more modern design sensibilities. Adventuring is dangerous, but the player characters are heroes capable of daring deeds from the onset. Combat is visceral and plays well, and magic does not cast spells once and then forget them; spells are cast until they kill the caster, sometimes literally.

The game skips the 3-18 ability score range and uses only modifiers for Attributes. GM rulings matter more than mother-may-I, giving groups room to play how they want while still using a clear framework for adventure and role-play.
