#OD&D at #Cauldron #OSR con 1/3

I ran three #OD&D games using little brown books only at Cauldron con last weekend. One of the games was with 24 player characters, 17 players, six hours, five purple worms, one iron golem of wishing, one dungeon, and one heck of a time.

Find my reflections below...

Wow, I greatly enjoyed watching Aniara. It is apparently based on a Swedish poem of the same name. Time to hunt it down and read the original too (a translation, that is). Please do let me know of any similar movies and works—I'd appreciate your recommendations!

"You remember THE CUBE?"

"Yeah, was a fun horror / sf mix!"

"Well how about the same, but in ONE DIMENSION?!"

"What, the LINE?"

"No, THE PLATFORM!"

Joking aside it was a fun movie to spend an hour and a half on.

Eagerly awaiting for THE DOT.

Can't believe it's already been a year! My reflections on running a sandbox game have been read by the thousands*, published in Fight On! and praised by a few in the blogosphere. Perhaps you find the post useful too.

(Probably not, my only analytics are a number of visit. Vain, I know xD)

SESSION 143

Adventurers:
- go deeper into the dungeon,
- avoid several obvious traps,
- enter the wizard's chamber, and
- get endlessly harassed by a pack of ghouls.

Not necessarily in the same order.

Adventurers rest at the Cedarwade Keep, form a new expeditionary force and return to the dungeon. They explore several pathways. Much to their surprise they find that brigands did not lie about death traps.

Ambros does the hard thing, twice.
Everybody lives to tell the tale.
High Priest almost gets himself killed after being completely surprised.
A prisoner is forced to swim with turds.
Yeah, a lot can happen in a single session.
