Interest Check: [OSRIC] I6: Ravenloft


Recruitment


2 people marked this as a favorite.

A few weeks ago, I was cleaning out the lowest shelf of my gaming bookcase, and found myself reading my battered copy of the 1983 classic module I6: Ravenloft by Tracy and Laura Hickman, for AD&D 1st Edition.

I was struck at how thoroughly modern this 31-year-old gem is, yet it still retains a certian Old School Gaming charm.

I played through it once as a player in a 12-hour-long Halloween marathon session when I was in college in 1988.

I ran it once the following year. That ended in a TPK halfway through, mainly due to players making some incredibly bad decisions.

I was thinking that I would love to run it again, but converting it to Pathfinder was beyond the effort I would be willing to put into it. I thought about trying to run it in AD&D 1e rules, but I couldn't count on people still having their old books lying around.

And then it struck me: OSRIC!

Would anyone be interested in playing this in a PbP using AD&D 1e / OSRIC rules?

If there's enough interest on this thread, I'll post a for-real recruitment thread with character gen guidelines, etc.

So... Who's up for some old-school vampire-hunting goodness?

Sounds awesome, I would be interested.


1st Edition D&D on the Paizo forum?!?

"What daring, what outrageousness, what insolence, what arrogance!!!....I salute you."

Oh, yeah, kind of interested.

Btw, I posted a thread (as DM Grognard) for a possible game using Labyrinth Lord rules to play B1: In Search of the Unknown in case anyone is interested in that flavor of Old-School gaming.

The Exchange

Scranford and I are playing the Temple of Elemental Evil under the OSRIC rules at the moment. They work well.


Very tempting. A lot of fond memories there, although I'd have to review the OSRIC stuff. Have you seen the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft that Wizards did for 3.0/3.5? It expanded the adventure nicely.


Classic !
I vouch for OSRIC as well, playing in the same TOEE campaign as scranford and french wolf....Heya! :)

Consider my interest checked!
