How good is our new module “Better Off Dead” available now at DTRPG?

One player said: “arghhhh it’s eating my face!!!”

Another: “So I have to roll a new character?”

And yet another: “You’re a ***** is what you are!”

Get it today!

From our table to yours!

Better Off Undead💀

A classic dungeon crawl for 6 characters of 1st or 2nd level. My first module on DTRPG.

Designed by this guy and thoroughly tested by the pesky players I’m so fortunate enough to game with.

Support indie creators!

48 pages of editing the new module “Better Off Undead” and I have found my favorite sentence. It deals with ‘clever tactics improving a character’s chances of survival.’

“Those entering the tomb overzealous and eager for death will find it there.”

C’mon in! I’m sure it’ll be fine!

“Better Off Undead”

A classic dungeon crawl for 6 characters of 1st/2nd lvl designed for use with Old-School Essentials.

Over 2 years in the making & play testing. Now completed, and in the final stages of editing.

Expect to see it on @DriveThruRPG in the next few weeks.

You know you’re “winning” at DnD when your players feel compelled to wash their hands after touching your dice.

I said “what you doing man?”

They said “I don’t want that evil on me! Ewwww…”

Crush!

I now begin my electroshock therapy season.

As an engineer deploying electronic devices, otherwise known as a “dry Midwest winter.”

“It’s all too shocking!”

I’m aware this perspective is not very well grounded.

Running a One-Shot Ravenloft i6 with OSE tonight.

“A black carriage led by even blacker horses races at a breakneck pace towards an ominous castle perched upon a cliff that overlooks the small village from whence it came…”

Boom!

4 hours to hunt…
And be hunted…

Welcome to Ravenloft.

My husband is an artist who makes orreries (clockwork planetary models) out of metal and glass. When I was struggling to finish my novel, he made me a deal: if I finished the book, he'd make me an orrery based on the world of my novel.
It's freaking BEAUTIFUL.

Meet “Big Red.”
My latest “miniature.”

I had to sit on that egg for many hours before it would hatch!

I’m not the greatest painter, but I certainly enjoy it.

The premier of “The Varisian Chronicles” is online! Featuring Swords & Wizardry complete revised, TVC is a #SoloRPG playthrough that chronicles events 700 years prior to seasons 1 & 2 of EpicSolo, The fall of Varisia and the rise of The Abandoned Lands. Thank You for tuning in to EpicSolo. 🙏

Having the GM narrate the adventure hook is good.

But handing a wax sealed summons to the players is magical and rad!

I can’t wait to hand this over to the party for our first session of I6 Ravenloft.

I got to play Index Card RPG for the first time tonight.

Thanks to @dmtales.bsky.social !

What a great game.
We played in the Warpshell world.
Space-Fi
It was RAD!

I was a robot with a laser and a vibro blade and a prime directive to protect the builder!

That’s good times right there!

Who doesn’t like a sneak preview?

Wes from DM Tales is doing some of the best #TTRPG reviews around, period. If I’m interested in a solid review that gets under the hood of a game, this is where I go first. Keep up the great work @dmtales.bsky.social !
My Dragonbane TTRPG review premiers this morning at 11:30 Eastern! This is a cool game!

An updated map of the continent of Baryngor, in our setting of Orynsphyr, which will be featured in our 3 part mini-series, “The Varisian Chronicles,” and actual/solo play of Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised. Want to find out how the former Kingdom of Varisia became known as “The Abandoned Lands?”

A post for my fellow northerners, those whose blood runs a bit colder & whose heads rattle when shaken for the rocks they must contain, for surely there is no other explanation as to why why we choose to endure the wrath of the ice gods in these soon to be frozen wastelands. See you at the tables.

A player & friend of mine just sent me this. Bash, if you’re out there, “you have chosen wisely!”

There is much satisfaction in seeing experienced and thoughtful gamers leave an intro Old-School Essentials session at my table to return next time with books in hand & adventure on their minds! #OSR

Would you enjoy listening to me prattle on about Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised combat for almost 40 minutes straight? Yes? Then check out our S&W Combat Tutorial! It’s good, and thorough.

I’ll be uploading a Combat tutorial for Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised this Friday at 10:00 AM CST. Perhaps not the greatest and best combat tutorial in the world, but certainly a tribute. (JK, this one rocks. It might just be the greatest S&W combat tutorial ever created. Also, the only one.)

Is anyone on this platform talking ‘bout Old-School games and such?

AD&D, B/X, BECMI, Old-School Essentials, Swords & Wizardry, game theory/mastery, sandboxes, emergent narrative? Say hello! Let’s agree on stuff and say “cool!” or agree to disagree and maybe learn something we didn’t know.
