This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Old School Essentials, but now with machineguns and tanks

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'm glad for you if you like the top selling game of the genre.  Me, I like the road less travelled, and will be the player asking we try a game you've never heard of.

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.

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.
