Deliverables for XP (hexed.press)

Been thinking about loot for xp this weekend.

[XPost] Review: "Dungeon Crawl Classics" - By Goodman Games (mythicmountainsrpg.substack.com)

DCC is OSR-adjacent enough that I thought this was worth cross-posting.

So they won't buy RATIONS Eh? (lemm.ee)

Guess they will just have to eat what they kill then....

How I use the module The Witch of Underwillow - an excellent way to start a campaign! (www.drivethrurpg.com)

First Disbelieve this is an 5e Adventure. It can easily be adapted to any OSR. I have ran this for Blue Hack, OSE, and Microlite 74 in the past. The encounters are simple and the puzzles not to complex. Lots of hints abound....

DAE make their own book covers? (i.imgur.com)

I typically just by the PDF, print it, and then make a custom cover for it. It may look very polished, but the jankiness makes it all the more special to me. Anyone else do this?

[Roll of Law] The ORC License: Worse than the OGL (youtu.be)

I saw this posted on Mastodon. It’s an interesting listen. If you were thinking about using the ORC license, it may give you pause.

What's you favorite/best starting village/town/city in a published module/adventure/something else?

Trying to make a West marches campaign and trying to figure out what I should do for a starting town. Im currently reading through keep on the borderlands but that feels like a lot to keep track of, it’s really good so far tho. What should a town in a West marches campaign even have in it?

An Interview with Prismatic Wasteland! (www.youtube.com)

Yesterday, I streamed a live conversation with blogger and creator, Prismatic Wasteland! We talked about his Ennie-nominated supplement, “Barkeep on the Borderlands,” along with a bunch of other topics.

Gamer's candy from the Mushmen : Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow, a sandbox adventure (www.kickstarter.com)

A new project from the Merry Mushmen : a new edition, adapted for Old-School Essentials, of Joseph Lewis’ sandbox adventure. Shipping expected in early september.

Generate free heraldry (azgaar.github.io)

Stumbled upon this yesterday and it was just what I needed. While I could have mucked around and done it myself, this is much faster. There don’t seem to be any strings attached— roll up some random coats of arms, tweak them to suit, and go!

[XPost] The Gigantic 7ft×7ft Dungeon Map for Tegel Manor I Put Together (media.kbin.social)

Saw this over on !dnd and thought it was worth sharing.

Coming to Kickstarter in August: OSE Conversion of Kavlov’s Sanctuary from The Dungeon Key and Me! (hexed.press)

Just posting a head’s up: I’m working with The Dungeon Key to convert their Mork Borg adventure to OSE. There’s a bit more at the link. Super excited about it!

Let's Read the Dolmenwood Game Preview! (youtube.com)

I spent 3 hours (!!!) earlier today reading through the Dolmenwood game preview book. It was definitely an interesting read! I like the setting and the rules seem to be very close to OSE, naturally. If you’ve read through the rules, what do you think?

Affinity Suite Resources for #TTRPG (forums.hexed.press)

Jason Stahl was kind enough to share a couple of templates that he made for the Affinity suite of products, useful to those of us toiling away on TTRPG projects. I’ve linked to the forum post that contains his links. I will be adding my own hex-map template (once I essentially remake it since the current one is a MESS). If you...
