I've intended to get OSRIC for years, but I never have gotten around to it. I see that there's a 2nd edition available but I prefer the cover of the original edition. This cover below just doesn't grab me like the original.

What always turned me off of AD&D 1E and OSRIC was that 2E polished the entire thing up. It's why I can't get myself to play OD&D. I can't grasp in my mind that elves and dwarves are classes. Elves and Dwarves are not classes in OD&D, that showed up first in B/X D&D.

I apologize for saying OD&D. I'm guessing that there's no need to apologize. I never owned OD&D so I though it and Basic were much more similar, but I didn't get it figured out until buying Delving Deeper and White Box: FMAG and digging around in other places to see just how different they are. I think it's an easy mistake.

I wouldn't say mighty irked, but I suppose it is a pet peeve of mine.
