The first part of my look at Old-School RPG Primers: Matt Finch's compact but complete book.There's the odd mic crackle and my video froze in the last 5 minutes in my very best derp face, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. I did.

I am a writer / game developer for Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game, an open source retro-clone role-playing game that emulates, and is largely compatible with, the 1981 Basic and Expert sets of Dungeons & Dragons. I love Basic, but am also a fan of 1st Edition AD&D, White Box Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game, Top Secret, Gamma World, Call of Cthulhu, and many other legacy and retro systems.
