I bought a reprint of the D&D cyclopedia (Which I recommend, it's on sale right now on DrivethruRPG, I think it's only around 25$! bucks in print?!!)
I love it but I noticed a lot of it is condensed, so I'm looking for an OSR book that might fill the gap of the original BECMI books in terms of character creation and game play. Every OSR I have been looking at is either for B/X, holmes or 1E ad&d. I don't want to convert stuff like XP tables and whatnot. Is there an OSR game that fills this gap or should I just wait until the becmi books are finally up for reprint?
I'm aware of Dark Dungeons, it's a becmi clone but from what I understand it's an cyclopedia clone. I'm looking for something like blueholme thats BECMI compatible not holmes I'm looking Something smaller that explains more of the basics not another cyclopedia.
Hopefully that makes sense, maybe I'm just being too picky.
