Title: Old School Essentials, but now with machineguns and tanks
Post by: weirdguy564 on March 02, 2024, 08:14:07 PM
So I like to watch some podcasts about RPG gaming each week, by a variety of different YouTube Channels.

One thing that came up this past week was The Scrying Dutchman, aka Victor Gorchev (who is actually Dutch) is putting out a supplemental product for Old School Essentials.

Modern weapons and rules for them.  The name of the product is Modern Necessities.  It has things like modern classes, such as  Soldier, Hired Killer, and Secret Agent.

Hell, you could use this product along with Fantasy from the core game and make your own version of Rifts or TORG, though a big lower tech (not a bad idea).  I say this as the game supplement appears to also have magic and such.  Of course I think you can just use the default OSE game to as is for that sort of thing.

It is a kickstarter project.  However, don't worry about it.  It funded fully in less than a day.

I was just curious if this would be something anybody would be interested in?

I backed this. I liked White Lies (OSR modern espionage) a lot, though was a bit on the fence on Operation Whitebox (WW2 OSR).

Old School Essentials is great, so hopefully this will give me some more options for OSR modern/high tech gaming.

when's delivery on this? I might be interesting in buying it later if the reviews are good.

I saw a Kickstarter for a ww2 OSR game based on the B/X system.  Not sure if it is the same thing you are talking about.

Wasn't that called Operation B/X and made by Small Niche Gaming?

Yep.  It has a little over 2 days left.  I may back it.  Just not sure yet.  After being screwed on a kickstarter (which is still coming and hasnt seen the light of day in 7 years) I basically stopped backing kickstarters.  But this looks interesting.
