The Rogue (PC12) (OSR)
The thief class was added to the game very early on by a player who felt its absence was glaring. It was later picked up and published officially. While there has been much debate about the necessity for this class¸ it's pretty apparent that the class¸ as published in any old school edition¸ was not particularly effective at either thieving¸ combat¸ or really¸ anything but dying frequently. The OSR Rogue is my attempt at a replacement class for the thief (the Tomb Robber was another¸ earlier effort)¸ borrwing a great deal from later editions attempts at improvements¸ but compatible with older games.
