Tell me about Warlock

Old-School Essentials, particularly with some of the Advanced Fantasy options!

Though lately, I've been taking another look at The Fantasy Trip, wondering if it might turn out to be a hidden gem of a game for OSR sensibilities...

These days I don't really run a system per se. I like a lightweight frame that I can patch other bits on to as I need them.

Whitehack, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, and especially Pariah are all ones that had a significant impact on how I run games now. There are also several games outside the OSR space that have likewise influenced me heavily.

Though if I am evangelizing it will often be off the back of Cairn because then everyone can have a copy.

...i've only played B/X, but i'm very interested in OSR-style 5e hacks: curious to see how goodman's advanced advantage turns out...

I've got,

OD&D, BX*, DCC*, OSE*, Black sword hack and Basic Fantasy. I've also got a couple that are OSR in spirit, Cairn* and Warlock*.

My favs are BX and warlock so far. I'm eager to try out Black Sword Hack for another take on it.

DCC has amazing art but wasn't my favourite otherwise.
