SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Alternate Osrics?

The "Osric" NPC detailed in the Amber RPG is basically just Erick's own interpretation (or three versions of his interpretation) of what Osric might be like. The fact is that with Osric you have an NPC about which almost nothing is canonically known.

So, have you ever used an Osric that was radically different from any of the three versions (or the 4th, "PC with amnesia" option) that Erick Wujcik created for the Amber RPG? Or can you think of any other possible versions now?

What would his powers be, where would he have been these past few millenia, why does everyone think he's dead, and what does he want?
