Look, in a #ttrpg I don't want to be the hero. I just want to experience a world and delve into its secrets. I want to meet other characters and most of all I want the freedom to choose to be a hero.

I'm trying to say that ttrpgs are not stories and should not treated as such. 😊

Thought I’d give this one a read through soon. #ad&d2e Domains of Dread is the Ravenloft campaign setting book, and (I’m hoping) will help me make a small Ravenloft adventure or mini campaign, perhaps to be run with The Black Hack or Old School Essentials.

If you see this, post a #ttrpg cover you love.

This one speaks to some hidden part of me that is still 10 years old.

My public, open table, 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons game had 13 players today. We had one brand new player. There were 2 players that hadn’t been to my public game in a couple years who both happened to show up today. And we had a players mom join us! #ttrpg #osr #ad&d

Finally reacquired a full set of BECMI books (only had the Expert book left), much more reasonable to get the loose books without boxes. Been making a slow foray into solo play while also running Keep on the Borderlands for friends.

Let's add some #OSRpositivity. There's a lot of talk about definitions and history of OSR, and it usually circles around nostalgia, return to idealized past experiences, etc. Has anyone written/talked about OSR with new players? About how they hold up when nostalgia and oral history are not there?

It looks like a rad Mothership RPG module cover!

Also, really cool.

I dig the image of the Watchman from our #SwordAndSorcery adventure module „A Place that was, is and will be“. The Watchman was created by Herr E. (Ghoul).

„He appears as a shadowy and cloaked figure at the edge of your field of vision.“ #osr

Das Abenteuer verwickelt 2-4 Charaktere der Stufen 3-4 in eine infektiöse Schatzjagd zur Zeit des Dreißigjährigen Krieges. Kompatibel mit Swords & Wizardry und anderen OSR-Regelwerken.

Map of the doomed city-state of Narbassal from the adventure module „A Place that was is and will be“ from issue 1 of the Pink Pony of Death #osr fanzine (linocut). Narbassal is floating city with a distinct sword & sorcery / ancient world vibe (no elves in this dojo)

Had a fucking blast running a We Deal in Lead one-shot for some friends today. Kept it extremely simple — two gunslingers visit an abandoned town to hunt an order member who had been turned — and it was just the right balance of silliness and horror.

one can feel however one feels about the OSR or whatever, but the formatting and usability standards that Old School Essemtials and Mothership have brought to the table in their publications are leagues beyond anything WOTC or the other big kids are doing.

I do occasional podcasts, videos and write my own games.

I am a big fan of Sanction and have released two genre setups and have a third in late stage production. I also have a d6 OSR frpg, a dark age narrative game, an FKR style micro rpg and a systemless setting book.

Here it is. The first play report for my #blackSwordHack powered Secrets of Tragic Europe campaign. #osr

It's for my own record keeping, but might be of interest. #grogsquad

Issue 1 of our #osr fanzine focuses on sword & sorcery adventures gaming in the city-state of Narbassal. It also contains a table of Narbassalian cuisine. After all, Narbassal is also the streetfood capital of the south coast.

Dungeon Crawl Classics looks like it could be fun for people who want to dial back the superhero antics of D&D and increase the technical difficulty. IDK it's on my list to try eventually but I don't think I'd want to DM it.

400 pregenerated characters for Swords & Wizardry, 288 equipment packs, and 180 first-level spellbooks.

They can be used as-is to handout to new players or as fleshed-out NPCs (e.g. retainers and adventuring parties).

I hope you find them useful:
