Acknowledgements

Special thanks to the following creators for all the amazing work that this document is built upon:

Yochai Gal for Cairn, the amazing game that makes Block, Dodge, Parry possible. This book makes extensive use of the SRD of Cairn, and is highly compatible with all Cairn-related creations.
Chris McDowall for Into The Odd, Electric Bastionland and all further branches of the Mark of the Odd.
Arnold Kemp for the GLOG system, which magic system formed the basis for the one featured in Block, Dodge, Parry.
Simon Washbourne for Barbarians of Lemuria, and the career system provided a big source of inspiration.
Emmy Allen of Cavegirl’s Game Stuff for the rock-paper-scissors implementation of dueling, found in the Social Conflict section.
Errant by Ava Islam/Kill Jester Publishing, LLP provided many brilliant procedures for OSR play. Block, Dodge, Parry in particular uses the Gambit and Initiative procedures, and builds upon them.
Downtime in Zyan by Ben Laurence was a major inspiration for Complex Tasks.
The descriptors used in Practical Magic are inspired by The Electrum Archive by Emiel Boven.
Further thanks to all of the amazing players who have always indulged me in my wild new systems and experiments: Bas, Dick, Ro, Hans, Cindy, Dylan, Mykola and many more.
Shout-out to the amazing NSR-Cauldron and Cairn Discord servers, and all the amazing people there who have always been so helpful with feedback and ideas.
