The best laid plans of shorties and men oft go awry.

Witness the campaign take a HARD right turn in this astounding session of Arden Vul, in which the party delves deep into some of the dungeon's darkest secrets.

Wrote up my now-ex-lunchtime #OSE #TTRPG campaign. Some people might have success with short sessions, unfortunately I do not. Wasn't terrible though.

Watch a stone-cold classic of dungeon-crawling in Ep 41 of 3d6 DTL's Halls of Arden Vul, as Mort, Gorend, and Jost perform small unit recon in perilous halls and chambers.

Tight, fast, and procedural -- as Moldvay intended!

A reflection on the campaign-level benefits of playing a “hirelings and henchmen” style game: increased campaign durability, easier scheduling considerations, and quicker incorpation of players joining a game with a new-to-them character.

Querido diario del apocalipsis zombie: Día 104 tomando agua de lluvia potabilizada, filtrada y mineralizada. Todo bien por el momento, este método llego para quedarse #ose #agua #lluvia #crisis

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 31 - Favourite RPG. **DON'T MAKE ME CHOOOOOOOSE!** There are so many, great, great games out there, and they all bring something different. Just this year I've hugely enjoyed #TrophyDark, #Liminal, #YellowKing, #BlueHack, #Numenera, #BlackSwordHack, #Pendragon, #MatronsOfMystery, #OSE, #Mausritter, #OutOfTheAshes, #RiversOfLondon and more. All were fabulous, all were different. So, my favourite RPG is all the RPGs - diversity rules!

Day 26 "Favorite character sheet" #RPGaDAY2023 #ttrpg

I like character sheets that are practical but I also like nifty drawings.

For example, there's an "underground" version of #OSE character sheet that I vastly prefer over the standard sheet.

https://necroticgnome.com/products/old-school-essentials-underground-character-sheet

Paths Peculiar did a wonderful sheet for old school #DnD.

https://www.wistedt.net/2020/11/15/hand-drawn-character-sheet-for-dungeons-dragons/

I really enjoy stuff like that, as long, of course, there's still enough place to write down all the important numbers and details.

@Glupinickname I love #ose, their books are clean and well made. I'm still going to play #pf1e with my new group, but only because I need a system I know I can rely on and pre-writtenbcampaigns do to my limited time these days. I hope soon to be able to play my own campaign using #osr, but it'll take some time.

In Ep 40 of 3d6 DTL's Arden Vul campaign, the AV Club makes their move against baboon defenses in the Well of Light. Is it all-out war, or does the party have some tricks up their sleeves? Let's find out!

26. Another close one! And please bear two points in mind reading my nomination here:
1st - I’m the Forever DM and don’t play very often. Therefore my choice cannot be based on functionality.
2nd - I haven’t played #Cairn nor #OSE 😬
Buuut I would pick the attached character sheet for Cairn based on its look only. 😍
A close second would be Niklas Wistedt‘s sheet for #B/X #DnD or Old School Essentials. 🫶

A quick rundown of some of the #podcasts that I listen to. Then diving into @3d6DTL’s actual play podcast of the “Halls of Arden Vul” and some of the joys of #OSR-style play.
