I've recently switched my group to Hyperborea with OSE to fill in the more classic D&D-isms, though the switch was made easy by being fairly early in the campaign (plus I was already using a bunch of Hyperborea for house rules anyways).

I dunno, when you strip them down to their basic attributes, they're a bit "The Lurking Fear." One could probably do worse for Martense-kin than halfling stats.

Well, been playing and GMing since 1st Edition and I just got my 3E books, so I'm thinking of making the jump and Hyperborea-izing my regular D&D campaigns. My world is generic in the sense that I've used several systems (D&D Rules Cyclopedia, Labyrinth Lord, Swords & Wizardry, Fantastic Heroes and Witchery, etc.) and I'd like to keep the tropes but kind of overlay Hyperborea on to it. In other words, I want to keep the demihumans, humanoids, monsters, etc. but use the  Hyperborea rules and most of the Pup Fantasy stuff.
Let's see what happens, shall we?

I figure if there's something lacking I can always go "back to the source" AKA 1E AD&D.
