The Old School Revival rolls on and on. Free, cheap, full price – there’s a price point and flavor for everyone. I started with the BX versions back in the mid-80s. A dozen or so systems later and my geek group has three campaigns going using Basic Fantasy, DCC, and Shadowdark. Three different price points and flavors.
Given the amount of modern D&D resources, there are many on this list. While not OSR focused, these are included for anyone who wants to figure out a use.
The best thing about OSR is the wealth of resources. This is my collection-mostly free, with a $ identifying an item for sale. Enjoy.
