Swordtember 2023 (forums.hexed.press)
 

Anybody else giving Swordtember a try this year? I am giving it ago, despite failing miserably at it last year. One wrinkle for me: I'm not limiting myself to swords. I hereby dub it, Weaptember!

As it is also #WIPWednesday, here's the write-up on my first weapon:

Gorger, the Club of Blebazabu

Chaotic great club +2 / +4 vs Law, INT 9 EGO 8, COM empathy, POW illusion generation / detect law

This was the war club of the demon, Blebazabu, lost somewhere on the prime material plane. Legend places it at the bottom of a steep crater hidden under a sea of ice.

Though the great demon cannot leave his abyssal abode, it is said his servants are ever seeking for the club. Woe betide the world should they find it!

I found a copy of "Three Hearts and Three Lions" set out on a stoop yesterday. Someone's trash is now my treasure!

If you disagree, I think that's what the reply button is for-- state your disagreement and have a discussion (keeping it civil, of course). Just driving by and downvoting does not add anything, in my opinion.

Hey Gang,

I'm seeing an uptick in downvoting to, I presume, express displeasure. Please don't. If a topic doesn't speak or appeal to you, move along, please don't downvote it. Please use the downvote button for content that doesn't belong here because it is inappropriate.

Thank you and game on!

Saw this posted to Mastodon and I thought it was worth sharing.

[Xpost] On romantic fantasy and OSR D&D. Romantic fantasy narratives, by contrast, are usually built around defeating evil by means other than overwhelming lethal force... which is like OSR... (udan-adan.blogspot.com)

Kavlov's Sanctuary (OSE Version) Live Play! (www.youtube.com)
 

Last night I ran a one-shot based on one of the scenarios from Kavlov's Sanctuary! Everybody had fun (at least that's what they told me so it must be true, right? 🤐 🤣) and it was nice to finally do a live play-- though I absolutely had some nervousness going on. If you're interested in any of the prep that I did, I streamed some of that earlier yesterday.

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

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

Game System Recommendations (lemm.ee)
 

I thought it might be nice to set up a thread in which we can recommend game systems to one another. What do you like? Why? Give us a quick blurb about a game you like and why you think others might like it. Maybe call out if you think it would be good for absolute beginners or folks new to the OSR/NSR. Oh and the genre too. If this gains some steam, I’ll pin it to the sidebar for easy access.
