Hi mates, i am pretty sure that (stored somewhere in the forum) there is a post on "OG the prehistorical game"... havent found it with the search engine of the site...
is there anyone who could help me?
...basically i have an italian version and i was amazed by finding that this should not be a traslation but the original version: the english came afterwards with a translation!!!
...i need a confirmation of this though... should anyone have the same game in english, pls drop me a message!

tnx and ciaooo

That's not ringing any bells. There's the short titled game E'A by Fitzgerald and there's the prehistoric game called Sticks & Stones by Metagaming. Was it one of them?

...i remember i ran in the past in some US auctions for this game... well, the only additional reference i have is that the dealer of the game was wingnut games...

i left a message in the acaeum forum as well...

in any case, i will leave a thread in the italian subforum (as long as it comes out that this is not an italian game!)

ciaooo

...done, found it! or at least the page with the item:

http://www.wingnutgames.com/OgTRPG.htm

the point is that there is no reference to the authors!

I don't have it in front of me but the first ed copyright was 1995

from the RPg encyclopedia

Og: The Role-Playing Game
1st ed by Aldo Ghiozzi (1995) Wingnut Games
2nd ed (2000)
Unearthed ed by Robin D. Laws (2007)
A humorous beer-and-pretzels mini-RPG about cavemen vs dinosaurs. Players choose 1 of 5 types of cavemen: strong caveman, smart caveman, fast caveman, hitting caveman, or healthy caveman. The twist is that players are limited to a 17 word vocabulary at all times: you, me, rock, water, fire, tree, hair, bang, sleep, smelly, small, cave, food, thing, big, sun, and go.

Brette:)
