Into the Odd by Chris McDowall

adventurous medium-paced

5.0

A revised, hardcover edition of one of the most important RPGs of the last ten years. Creating a rules-light environment for old-school play, the original release of Into the Odd went on to influence countless games (some of which, like Cairn, influenced many more games again). The game's rules are simple but incredibly effective, and its playstyle promotes a stance that player characters' are competent and usually automatically successful at their attempted actions, rolling instead to avoid risks and dangers that arise from the fiction.

Into the Odd's rules are brief enough that the majority of this revised edition is given over to the inclusion of many full-page spreads of art, as well as a three-level dungeon, a hex crawl with three additional, smaller dungeons, a town write-up, and a bunch of random idea tables at the back.

Into the Odd Remastered is a fantastic product, both visually and rules-wise, which makes it a must-have addition to any gaming shelf.
