Random dungeon!

I am reluctant to change dice mechanics but I think I did something good by making an encounter roll to use an Exploding Usage dice in my hack. For wilderness exploration roll exploding Ud6 and 1d4. The 1d4 gives you Morning Afernoon Evening Dawn. Nothing special but I feel I'll be happy with this

Did you know? Were you aware? I'm now on RPGTrader! rpgtrader.com/creator/1838... If you ever thought, "I love Josh's books, but I'd like to buy them in digital format from a DIFFERENT web shop," this will be good news!

My creepy-thing-forest-adventure shows up here! Yay!

The markdown version of CAS-4: The Forgetting of Lockwood Manor has been added to the Cairn website, including lovely art by @robbiaburns.bsky.social. cairnrpg.com/adventures/f...

I love the fact that we can enjoy this masterpiece in our local language. Always with Cap de Pork! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpWn...

Right now at the hospital waiting. Hit me with your favorite blog posts about ttrpg theory.

It started as an amateur drawing project, now it contains stats for Old School Essentials and a layout inspired by The Monster Overhaul The Cairn and His Majesty the Worm versions stay the same, completely free #osr #ttrpg loopquantumwyrm.itch.io/manuscript-o... rpgtrader.com/products/104...

I think I finished updating my bestiary for BX stats + - New layout - New monster - Minisetting / Map / Adventure seeds

I just wrote the ramblings of a mad man, probably Necromancying an old discussion (I guess). My (pOSR) view on the game, rules and procedures, inspired by a @prismaticwasteland.com post from 2022. Do you rule or do you procedure? (I'm so funny) #osr #ttrpg balansiya.bearblog.dev/ruler-or-pro...

I got to write something I am still thinking about. Procedures and abstractionist mechanics. #osr #ttrpg #lodelrol balansiya.bearblog.dev/abstract-whe...

some notes about using a character's Hit Dice in a more active way, inspired by @loopquantumwyrm.bsky.social 's post. #indie #ttrpg #design #dnd daelightstudios.com/rolling-the-...

When looking for dungeonspiration, you could do worse than simply mapping out the Alhambra.

¡¡Esto es muy bestia!! O sea Luke Crane ha venido aquí a hablar de su juego y presentar un suplemento de 6 autoras locales. Un 10 a @melnegra.bsky.social y sus autoras está iniciativa. Este es el tipo de eventos/relaciones y reconocimientos que me gustaría ver en más editoriales. #lodelrol

Think about the dungeon not as the combat challenge, but as the information challenge. You do not know everything about the dungeon, the GM does as an unreliable narrator, filtering through your character senses. This is a nice read. therpggazette.wordpress.com/2026/10/02/t... #lodelrol #osr

So, I was trying to remove the d20 attack roll and just use damage as hit with the idea of Hit Dice to be rolled. The problem for me is: if I want a neutral procedure, how do I choose as GM the number of HD an NPC/monster uses? Damage goes from 1d4 to d6 pool (e.g. 🔥ball), so what now? #osr #ttrpg

Few days ago I saw some post about "Hit Dice are Meant To Be Rolled" so I wanted to join the blogtrain! I have been writing, in Spanish, a hack (or whatever) of a ruleset with that idea. Nothing new, but hopefully interesting, with a bunch of levers to pull. balansiya.bearblog.dev/montante-hack/

@bradkerr.net's new adventure, illustrated by @kennon9.bsky.social... Coming super soon (like days)... Winter and The Wolf Princess. Stay tuned!

En absoluto. La administración de la información (tanto por la vía del diseño como por la del texto) me parece algo fundamental en un juego o un módulo, y, sin embargo, no es de lo que más se habla al teorizar sobre juegos.

Qué maravilla el diseño bien hecho, funcional y bonito.

Working working.... The screen for Brad's adventure. This time, the title is at the top, we don't want to hide nobbit's feet.

I'm interested in your opinion Ability scores (like cairn) or skill systems (like WWN) for osr/posr games? Why? #osr #ttrpg

Cairn Press is VERY happy to announce our next kickstarter: A Sliver of Evidence by @karlyanddd.bsky.social. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cai...

Just had a random thought, out of the blue: Reject tradition Embrace modernity BULLET POINTS AND BOLD TEXT!🦾

A new update with a monster + adventure hook for the retroclone version of my Manuscript of Monstrosities. I am writing and making the layover one step at a time, but I hope to have it done soon enough. This monster is featured in Bargains on The Other Land (Cairn version on lulu!)

Os presento MSimp! Una ficha de personaje estilo mothership con reglas simplificadas para empezar a jugar con el reglamento de Mythras/Imperativo rápidamente. Supongo que también será compatible con Fantasía Clásica Imperativa hasta cierto punto. #lodelrol loopquantumwyrm.itch.io/mythras-simp...

In Search of Adventure is a collection of five starting adventures written for Old School Essentials and Bree-YARC, set in and around a starting town, perfect for starting a long campaign or a series of one-shots. Check it out on Backerkit! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t... #ttrpg #dnd #ose #osr

I was asked if my last OSR module would work for Cairn, so I added a conversion for BoTOL. Now, compatible with both Old-School Essentials and Cairn. What's inside Creatures, people and places to explore Amateur art and cartography (better than AI) The Worm loopquantumwyrm.itch.io/bargains-on-...

I'm thrilled that Wandering Swords has got its first (to my knowledge!) third party expansion with this Spanish-language campaign setting and expanded rules from @levillator.bsky.social - check it out! levillator.itch.io/wandering-sw...

hwaet! it's another episode of DEAD LETTERS! this time, we're discussing "The Invisible Rules of Roleplaying" by Markus Montola! join us as we yap about the definition of roleplaying, non-game roleplaying, cross-media roleplaying, and not roleplaying! come listen! open.spotify.com/episode/61fy...

Do YOU🫵 like Forests? The moon? Curses? Deals? Gold? A wizard named Galapatacus the wise or similar? A horrendous creature named The Worm? (not *that* Worm, this one is no monarch) All that in 12 A5 pages of low level / high adventure, for use with OSE Now, also at @rpgtrader.bsky.social

I surveyed 200 players and learned that most OSR games fall into two tiers of lethality - Meatgrinder and Picaresque. Table culture determines lethality more than system or campaign length. valerialoves.com/how-deadly-i...

I’ve made an old-school-style map for a Torchbearer solo game. It is rather influenced by an odd Mediterranean scenery. More info in the alt text.

Pointcrawl map, with scale, for my Bargains on the Other Land module. A submission to the Mystic Woods OSR Jam!

I do not like to write this kind of post, and I am tired of late-capitalism. This post was drawn on a William Blake's letter to his old master, Swedenborg. a-wizard-in-calafia.bearblog.dev/a-letter-to-...
