It is beginner-friendly and comes with a resource-spending mechanism. Review here. Barbarians of Lemuria: Mythic Edition: Sword & Sorcery at its finest - wonderful career system for character creation and a pulpy lightweight ruleset by Simon Washbourne. Barrel Rider Games’ White Box: this is for you if you are a fan of the original RPG from 1974. Here is a review of the White Box Omnibus.

Fever-Dreaming Marlinko and Misty Isles of the Eld

• two OSR products - are probably enjoyable, too. I liked Slumbering Ursine Dunes and have only heard good things about Hydra Cooperative products. Hollowpoint: play an agent when the shit hits the fan - a narrative, ingenious game. One of my all-time favorites. I have a review, but it’s in German. Hubris: A World of Visceral Adventure: a toolbox and weird fantasy setting for old school games - wacky, bizarre. Full review is here. Mythic Game Master Emulator: an oldie, but goldie when it comes to solo role-playing. A tad too cumbersome for my taste but still useful. The gold standard if you want to say so. Scarlet Heroes: the game for solitaire OSR gaming, choke-full of great ideas which you can use for other D&D games, too. A must-get. SUPERS Revised Edition: a lightweight and robust superheroes RPG. More about this here. Symbaroum: beautiful dark fantasy setting, wonderful artwork, and a robust (but not narrative) ruleset. More about the game here.
