By B/X compatible I just mean not so dependent on a particular system’s ruleset that it would be a significant undertaking to drop it into a typical OSR game.
I found this old post regarding Alternative Magic Systems, which has lots great options listed. There’s also glog’s dice pool which is one of my favorites (at least theoretically as I haven’t actually put it to use).
Anyone know of anything that has been put out in the the last several years that is either new or a novel take on an existing system (or just really obscure and to often discussed)?
just learned about Swyvers which also uses a deck of cards and from my understanding incorporates some form of Blackjack into the mechanic. Going to delve into it and your Wormy suggestion tomorrow. Thanks!
We experimented with one I wrote up here awhile back Alternative Spell Casting that utilizes one of my favorite things: The Turning Undead Table. It was pretty fun for the Players to have to contend with those gambles for more castings and being able to overcast a little bit right out of the gate
