Old-School Essentials Fantasy RPG Box Sets (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/exaltedfuneral/old-school-essentials-fantasy-rpg-box-sets?ref=card) Kickstarter went live today. Spoiler: they've already met their $100,000US goal.

it's tempting, but I just don't know that I can justify $100 for something I know I'm not going to play, like... ever

Huh. If I used that logic I wouldn't own any games! :P

Are you feeling alright?
Have you...Gasp!...Have you been replaced by a pod person?

Yeah, but most of those $100 games that I buy aren't essentially duplicating things I already have.
If I want to play a B/X-style game, I'll grab one of my 3 original Rules Cyclopedias, or one of the 4 red Ottus books or my 3 blue Ottus books, or one of my full set of Mentzer BECMI rules and just play those.
And if not that, I've got 3 different editions of C&C, a shit-ton of old 1e AD&D, a slightly smaller (crap-ton?) of 2e AD&D, 4 different intro-level BECMI-series box sets, 3 different DCC starter books, and that's just what's in the D&D "family" of games, without getting into any other rules systems.

I'll tell you what though, if one of y'all wants to buy it for me, I'm not going to say no

You should request a demo copy. :whistle:

I second this. I *WANT*, but realistically I'll never get around to actually doing anything with them.

But don't you want to complete your collection?

If I was looking for OSR-feel games, there's plenty of others.
But again, if you guys are all *that* worried about my collection, you're cordially invited to fill in the gaps for me!

They are now up to $736,900 with 15 or so hours left. Since I found out they have that ruleset available in Fantasy Grounds now, I decided to go in on the Classic Game Set plus the Advanced Expansion Set pledge. :)
