    I've grabbed a copy and it's a great price for a book that's very similar to the standand PHBs.

    Nice! The one time I tried using OSRIC as my game instead of AD&D a
    couple of the players used the NPC ability score bonuses for class/race
    in addition to the normal PC generation method which resulted in some
    very high scores. That's not necessarily bad by itself, but when only
    half the players do it creates a bit of disparity (not that that doesn't
    happen often with the normal method anyway.)

    Having a separate Player's guide will fix that confusion if I ever go
    that route again.

    English speakers can just use the OSRIC wiki.
    German speakers can always use the Alrik wiki.

    Ooh, nice. Last time I was looking into OSRIC the wiki was dead.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I don't think it gets any support from the actual OSRIC authors
    and with the new edition of OSRIC in the works I doubt that the wiki
    will get updated anytime soon. We'd have to ask PresGas, I guess.
