I already have the premium reprints, but if they'd slap the original covers on these, I'd pay for a-whole-nother set of the PODs.

The use of proper English spellings in OSRIC is really what elevates it above all other extant simulacrums.

Americans love it so much that a luxury version is available from a well known American based company.

Question to Stuart: Did you and Matt fight, in OSRIC's nascency, over which spelling convention to use?

I'm not sure where OSRIC stands on the central issue confronting the roleplaying game world: Do dwarf women have beards? - but it is firmly in favour of 'dwarfs' over 'dwarves'.
