Recently I completed the draft for one of my projects. This is about the set of rules I am working on that I am calling the Majestic Fantasy RPG. The full rules will be found in a series of supplement like the Majestic Wilderlands each focusing on a major element of the system (fighters, magic-users, equipment, monsters, etc) accompanied by setting material and other aides relevant to the element.
I am approaching things this way because I have observed that most OSR campaigns are a kitbash. Starting with a given edition or clone of a edition the referee cherry picks different things to use within the campaign. My thought is why not support this directly by presenting the rules as a series of supplement. If you like the Majestic Fantasy RPG enough you can use it as it own RPG. Or you can just use what is most useful for example supplements on magic-users and treasure.
However if I am to do this there is needs to be a overview showing how it all hangs together. So I decided to create a basic set of rules with four classes, detailing them up to 5th level, accompanied by enough equipment lists, spells, monsters, and treasure to run a low level campaign.
The player side I already released.

Now I finished the rest of it and preparing a budget to have it edited and obtain art for it. While I am doing that I want to give folks a copy of the draft and see what folks comments on it were. Whether it is useful as a overview and a basic set of rules.

Note: I plan to release the rules as open content.
