I have safely returned from the (culture-) war torn wastelands of the Middle West, where the desolate empty factories stretch as far as the eye can see, which is really damn far because there is no natural geography and everything is a wide flat plain

This is inspiring!!

You'll have to ask me once I use Kickstarter! So far I've only used Backerkit (and this is the first time *I've* used backer kit, rather than freelancing for someone else using it).

Looks awesome!

Coming soon: Ogre Caves of The Toad God: An Adventure for AD&D/D&D A fantasy adventure for AD&D, 5E, and OSR games. Designed for 4-6 players. Taking characters from level 1 to level 5.

So you could say some of those doors are secret?

PDF definitely will be on DTRPG by January, physical copies I am unsure on but considering a POD option sometime in the future. Thanks for the interest, I really appreciate it, and keep an eye out for future stuff I write!

Treasure Vaults of the Twilight Dragon Treasure Vaults of the Twilight Dragon is a game that fills two roles – it is a module for OD&D or other classic fantasy RPG systems, as well as being a wargame scenario designed for those rules.

Final 48 hours to back my upcoming #OSR module, Treasure Vaults of the Twilight Dragon!

You know you’ve got a good dungeon when you feel like you’re discovering it as you write it.

Not quite such a close approximation, they’re just standard cheesex dice with the colors matching the die size. Picked them out one by one from a “$1 for 5” or something bucket.

I have a set I use that mimics the Holmes Box Set dice. Despite having a dozen other sets it’s become the only set I ever use unless I assumed they’re in my bag when they weren’t lol.

Shadowdark, however, makes it a ton of fun, since there’s still a lot you can contribute that doesn’t rely on making one of a limited series of checks and your stats impact a lot less of what you can bring compared to your own creative thinking.

I feel like this really depends on the game. Playing like this in 5e kind of sucks, I say from experience. Progression is so tied to stats that if you’re on the low end you have little to mechanically contribute and your time at the table becomes mostly “role
play” but a lot less “game.”

Self-promo for small business saturday: I'm currently funding my first fully indie #osr original #dnd adventure module/wargame scenario! Check it out here:

It’s so sad. Commercialism meant something once, now it’s all just an excuse to make money.

I made a post just seconds ago about how this is my favorite DnD artwork, and here this shows up! Love to see it, I’ll probably use it as a phone wallpaper thank you!

The original 1978 Trampier cover of the book is my favorite piece of D&D art. That book reflects what I like from D&D more than any other - large plundering parties looting, strategizing, and guarding the treacherous dungeon environment.

Sacred Wings Monastery for Shadowdark RPG - Menagerie Press | Shadowdark RPG | DriveThruRPG Sacred Wings Monastery is an adventure for low-to-medium-level characters in Shadowdark RPG and other d20 systems like Dungeons & Dragons. The adventure briefly outlines a nearby community, releva...

My #Shadowdark adventure "Sacred Wings Monastery" is on sale for Black Friday! Learn the secret of what's been haunting the monastery down the road from Tymar. Here patience, caution, & a willingness to listen will go further than the blind hatred of the mob! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Oh nice! I got my start this year writing stuff for Shadowdark on DTRPG too.

I’m like, 80% sure “Nyr Dyv” lake in Greyhawk is just “Near Dive.”

AD&D setup. Does this site use hashtags? Does #osr and #dnd do anything?

In addition to all the other great responses so far, I'd say "is the game foundational to the type of game I work/play in?" For me that's OSR/TSR games, but for a lot of people really into story games it's probably important to learn the White Wolf classics of that genre, like Ars Magica or VtM.

I love the extent to which TSR D&D is color coded. 3 Little Brown Books, 1 Medium Sized Blue Book, 1 Pink Box, 1 Black Box, and so on lol

Thank you both!

My AD&D Originals collection (no PODs, which count for the rest of the collection). The PHB and DMG are in *incredible* condition.

Lmk if you're an OSR game creator, fan, or player/DM! Hope to find like minds here :)
