OSR 5E | OHR GAMING COMMUNITY

The intent of the rules presented here are for those who are interested in playing 5E, but want to bridge the gap into the OSR. This should be an easy to understand version of the OSR and allow players who might be interested in the old school role-playing scene to try it out. It's a bridge to our games and settings like MORTIS, etc.
