What is 0SR 2.0, exactly?
I would like to call it "the re-surfacing and re-publishing of old and lesser known (and lesser played) fantasy role-playing games after the first wave of OSR has come to a point of saturation".
1- HEROES by Dave Millward (here)
2- BEASTS, MEN & GODS(here)
3- VIKINGS & VALKYRS (here)
4-WIZARDS' WORLD (here)
5- HEROES AND OTHER WORLDS (here) (clone of "The Fantasy Trip")
6- PERILS ETERNAL (a Powers & Perils simulacra currently under construction- cover in development)
7- (tentative release, base on statements made by its original author, namely John Corradin) A republishing of "MELANDA" (read at the bottom of this post if you still are unaware of that)

Unfortunately HotDA is ridiculously overpriced.
You aren't kidding about over-priced. For $56, I expect four-color printing and a hardcover.
And at least 240 pages, not 120.
Forgive my ignorance, but what does HotDA stand for?
Heroes of the Dark Ages, the 1.2 edition of Heroes.
Ah, thanks! I hadn't had a chance to click the links yet. Thanks for putting this list together! I wouldn't have heard of half of this!
Definitely out of my price range, which is a shame since I would've splashed the cash had the price (with postage) been reasonable. Millward's decision not to do pdf will hurt his sales big time, but that's his choice.
I will probably invest in all of these except Heroes. I hope Melanda is in my price range. Whether the OSR is into 2.0 or not. I'm certainly happy about the saturation.
