Hand-Head-Heart: Hobgoblin is a really interesting game of high fantasy.

Characters are broken down into the stats listed in the game's title plus gear and knacks (abilities). My favorite part is that character creation uses several cool and flavorful lists, similar to Dungeon World. This makes chargen fast while still producing nifty characters.

I'll admit that the core mechanic through me for a loop because of the order the rules were introduced in... but if you have patience and read through it all becomes very clear. I've personally never seen a mechanic quite like this one. It gives you plenty of wiggle room to narrate all sorts of scenarios but with enough mechanical meat to make it feel an actual game.

The layout has a really awesome, minimalist style that I've come to really appreciate in RPGs these days. It isn't flashy, won't offend the eyes and is clean.

I would recommend this game to anyone interested in lightweight fantasy RPGs.

Old School Hack (OSH) is everything I want from a dungeon fantasy RPG with one exception... This is a basic set, meaning it only covers levels one through five. That said, it is very easy to improvise the later levels.

Similar to what the other reviewer said, I am not fan of Race-As-Class... However, after 1st level you can select Talents from the other classes. Thus, that complaint really holds no water in my opinion.

OSH's rules are simple, promote excitement and laugh worthy moments and are designed to get you to the good stuff as soon as possible. They are imminently hackable making the game's longevity seem eternral.

Visually this pdf is professional quality that more than rivals releases from companies that actually have a staff dedicated to layout and art. It is easy to read and understand.

I can't recommend Old School Hack enough. This isn't a retroclone but a great expansion on one version of old school roleplaying.
