Into the Odd by Chris McDowall

5.0

ItO (with its derivatives) is my go-to system for running games with old school sensibilities. This new edition is a thoughtfully-produced distillation of the original text, with emphasis on Chris McDowall's philosophy for running games. The older edition was fine, but I also appreciate that this is an unusual and eye-catching book that I can put in front of a new player to get them excited to play. The most-used section for me is the Oddpendium. I'm unlikely to run the expanded starter adventure and hexcrawl, although the small dungeons from the hexcrawl could be useful in a pinch.
