I hear Necrotic Gnome are planning to release new Old-School Essentials tomes, and they're ditching the box set model. I always thought they looked great. Was thinking of buying them, but should I hold off? I'm dipping my toe into #our play… #ose #ttrpgs #Dolmenwood

There's obviously a lot of overlap between #hexcrawls, #sandbox games, open tables, and the #WestMarches model.
Q: is it possible to run an open-table sandbox with more than one town? Or do you need that West Marches–style limitation of a single base for the open table to work?

Seconding the suggestions for Hexcrawl Toolkit & Cairn 2e!
If using abstract hexes: use the Realm generation procedures from @bastionland.bsky.social's Mythic Bastionland
If using representative hexes: use @jedediahberry.bsky.social's (Cairn compatible) Valley of Flowers
Difference explained 👇

Redux of an old post of mine that was borderline unreadable, but which had a nugget of wisdom worth salvaging.
There are two totally different types of hexcrawl and nobody else seems to have pointed this out before.

I absolutely love Otherworld minis. I only have one set—a selection of drow—but they're gorgeous. Really should finish painting them at some point…
Halloween? You need some werebuddies. Just three of nearly 50 remastered Otherworld models now living in the Fenris miniatures crypts.

#OSR fans! What are the best #megadungeon and #hexcrawl products I should explore? I'm thinking about an open table samdbox-style game and want some inspiration. Probably #OSE? ##ttrpg

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

I never loved the terms 'demihuman' and 'humanoid' in #dnd. They sound too sci-fi to me, and also weirdly othering. Are there better alternatives? Kin? Folk? Mortals?
