First, confuse it by luring it into an environment with a different EOL convention. While it’s confused, cast Text to Speech, which will turn it into sound wave. Then use headphones of noise-cancelling to play an interfering wave.

Alternatively, if you have +1 or better keyboard, you can just use Ctrl+A followed by Del.

Reminds me of an adventure I ran once. I meant for it to be horror, but it ended up just goofy as hell.

I have a couple of ideas in mind. One is an occult mystery game that'll use a variant of a "spell dice" mechanic I toyed around with a few months ago.

So sexy it huuuuuurts....

I love it.

'Father' Ted might only be level 0, but he's far from feckless.

Hmm. Not sure. You could maybe stipulate that the games can't use some common mechanic -- hit points, for example -- or that it has to use some uncommon mechanic, like playing cards.

I noticed that! I considered making and submitting something else, but assumed I should only post one entry. By the time I noticed you and Taylor both submitted two entries and I didn't have enough time.

I just wanted to say that I had fun, and thank Taylor Lane for putting this together.

What about the mirror image of this one? Write your own OSR game, maybe stipulating that the theme be something other than medieval fantasy. You could in principle do it just by taking one of the OGL games, copying and pasting the OGL text and then putting in your own modifications.

The main thing that stands out to me is that Dracovir get the full 14 levels, which doesn't really fit with the B/X approach to demihumans. If you capped them at 10, maybe upped the base XP to 5,000, I think that would go a long way toward making the breath weapon feel less overpowered.

Thank you!

Welp, the point is moot: I wasn't happy with how the B/X version turned out, so I scrapped it.

Creepy. I like it.

Awesome. I didn't think so but wanted to make sure before I uploaded anything.

Speaking of exclusivity, I didn't see anything in the itch.io TOS that says what I upload here has to be exclusive, but I'm concerned I might have missed something. Can anyone knowledgeable speak to that?

This shouldn't be a problem for the jam, but I have some stuff uploaded to RPGPUB that I'm thinking of reuploading here.

I feel like that's line's gotten blurry now that OSE is just B/X rules with no changes.

This is probably a dumb question, but is it OK to bundle two different versions of your supplement, for different games? I am a recent convert to S&W: White Box and still basking in the glow of my conversion to the One True Game(tm), but I recognize that OSE is the new hotness, so I thought I might do an OSE conversion afterward if I have time.

Do you mean you've uploaded your project? You have upload, then publish, then submit it to the jam.

Thank you!

I just posted about this on RPGPUB, but I thought this might be useful to other members of the jam who don't hang out there:

I've made SVG versions of MSJX's OSR logo (the one used as the cover for this jam) and uploaded them to OpenClipArt.org. The original logo is in the public domain, and by uploading to OpenClipArt I've released any claim I might have to it, as well.

Black version: https://openclipart.org/detail/335996/osr-logo-black
Blue version: https://openclipart.org/detail/335997/osr-logo-blue

I'd like clarification on this as well. My working assumption is that as long as we aren't tripping over any copyright/trademark issues (ex: Product Identity), we should be good. So for example my current plan is to do a supplement for Swords & Wizardry, which has a standing third-party compatibility license to use their PI and trademark. I assume that's OK?

For what it's worth, my working guideline of OSR is "A character or monster made in an OSR game should be able to have a fight with a character or monster made in an old-school D&D game with minimal issues." In particular, both should use d20 to attack and track damage in hit points. Also an OSR game should use the same six ability scores as D&D, possibly renamed.

ETA: I don't mean that this should be everybody's definition. It's just the one I have in my head.
