Jemand Lust am Mittwoch den 13.03. Abends #Shadowdark zu spielen? Ich bin nicht wahnsinnig erfahren im Leiten von #OSR , aber Erfahrung kommt ja auch nicht aus dem Nichts ^^ #pnpde
Anyone out there using ChatGPT to generate content ideas, monsters, magic items, etc., or is that generally considered verboten? I've been playing around with it and actually quite like some of the stuff I get out of it... what do you folks think? Useful tool, or instrument of the enemy?
Happy March First! I finally added a couple of images (along with a few other updates) to my free (PWYW if you’d like) supplement, “Wilderness Adventuring Simplified,” on itch. #osr#dnd#ttrpg
One thing I absolutely love about our #osr open table is that much of the roleplay stuff happens in the chat, post- and inbetween session (the actual game sessions are tight). So while I’m having lunch at work, other players dedicate objects to a made-up deity of „elfland“ or give me a +1 dagger as a gift ❤️
Your work day gets a little brighter with an osr frosting! #Valravn
Yesterday, I ran #TheBlackWyrmOfBrandonsford. (for #dnd B/X / #OSE). It was fun and we could welcome a new player at our #osr open table 👏
Over the last years, I dm‘d the Black Wyrm a few times. I value, how accessible the module is, and how it relates to classic fairytales and has a little bit of everything: a dungeon, a dragon, you name it. It is light hearted and whimsical in a way, but also features a gloomy undercurrent. Vibe-wise it reminds me of „The Hobbit“ #Valravn#Shadowdark
Yesterday, I ran the first session of #ArdenVul for our #osr open table. For someone like me, who is used to run #ose style modules (bullet points 😍) navigating through the tome of Arden Vul is a somewhat „different“ experience. The prose is super dense and everything is soaked in lore („and this is where Archontean nobleman had is breakfast 251 years ago…“), but I think it‘s manageable and the bits and pieces of the module seem to fit well together at the table, promising high adventure
Une critique de Marchebranche par Côme Martin dans sa revue La Compote de Côme #160 !
« une énorme boîte à outils, comme Thomas sait le faire depuis des années maintenant : des règles très simples et très narratives agrémentées de tonnes de conseils et de tables aléatoires »
They are very nearly the same game up to level 15. But BECMI had 6 to 9 years where TSR was still publishing material for the game. There are a lot of rule variations published for BECMI in the Gazetteer supplements.
My answer is still probably neither though. There are some things in AD&D, 3E, 4E that I like to incorporate into the game.
Nutzt ihr #HexMaps? Z.B. für eure #OSR Runden?
Habe gerade einen ziemlich schicken Hex Map Zeichner entdeckt, mit dem man für lau solche Karten erstellen kann.
Ich musste sofort mal loslegen! 😄
Still working on my randomly generated megadungeon for #dungeon24 . One of the dungeon features that I rolled up is an altar that changes your sex. On the one hand, stuff like this is something that came up in the old school days, but on the other hand, I understand that it can be problematic. My thought is 1) telegraph as much as possible what's going to happen, so it doesn't become a "prank" and 2) make sure that it's reversible, so nobody feels stuck in a sex/gender they don't want. #osr#rpg

Hey #pnpde, was steht bei euch am Wochenende rollenspielmässig an?
Hey #ttrpg people, what are your ttrpg plans for this weekend?
On Saturday, I might have chance to playtest an incursion, I wrote for #TrophyGoldRPG this weekend (working title: The Barrow Thing). On Sunday, I will run the first session of #ArdenVul at our #osr open table (#Valravn).
Da hatte ich einfach mal Bock drauf: Ich hab angefangen, ein Setting für generische Fantasy (#OSR-tauglich aber auch für so ziemlich alles andere) zu schreiben und das als Blog (wie oldschool) zu veröffentlichen. Heute geht es los. https://pest-und-schwefel.de/willkommen-bei-pest-schwefel/ #RPGde
Um 20:30 geht es nach einer längeren Pause für meine Spielenden wieder nach #Dunkelheim.
Zwei Abenteurer:innen machen sich auf, um ein wildes Tier in der Stadt Doval daran zu hindern, weitere Bewohner:innen anzufallen. Um was für ein Tier mag es sich handeln, das Menschen die Kehle zerreißt?
Dank Stephan, einer unserer vier Spielleitungen, haben wir jetzt eine schicke Übersichtskarte von Valravn. Anhand der Karte können Interessierte und Mitspielende grob sehen, wo die Regionen liegen und wie sie heißen.
What AD&D 2E and older products have a good library of "overland" map symbols for cities and towns of various sizes, as well as other locations (such as ruins, caves, etc.).
I am looking for inspiration. Other products are also okay, but I am looking for something of an "Old School" / #OSR vibe (though explicitly not hexcrawls).
