Meh. If I'm playing old-school* then I'm playing old-school with my
original rules-books. My creaky, held-together-with-duct-tape rule
books. 

But at least OSRIC uses descending AC. OSE allows the heretical idea
that AC goes UP as it gets better. The developers ought to be burned
at the stake. ;-)





* which I am.** 















** okay, technically I'm not, since I don't have an active group. But
if I did, it would play old-school rules. ;-P
