>Uh... Are you sure OSR games are right for you?
I like OSR games that embody "rulings not rules". Even Gygax said he preferred super simple OD&D over AD&D and wouldn't look up any chart if he could help it.
If you like chart-heavy games, that's you, not OSR as a whole. And, if you enjoy charts, you probably should do your best to be wary of relying on them. It's very easy for GM's become a slave to them, something I've personally seen happen with less-than-confident GMs. It's very easy to fall into a routine of looking things up, rolling on charts, waiting for an interesting result to appear, and allowing your actual GM skills to atrophy.
