I made a town – The Village of Whitewall, a mining outport and caravan way station on a slow-moving glacier. The encounters were written with #cairnrpg in mind, but could easily be adapted to other systems.

Almost halfway done with my megadungeon project! Five weeks of work while aggressively job hunting. Not bad! Currently at around 300 stocked rooms. Goal is about 650.

Explaining Cairn RPG Scars Within the Fiction | fedetibaldo In my time playing Cairn, I’ve come up with a few handy shortcuts and mental procedures to help me narrate combat. However, for the longest time, I had some trouble making scars fit in.

I wrote a short piece on how I narrate scars in #CairnRPG. In case you weren't interested, feel free to skip to the d6 table of curious-looking bottles 😉 #ttrpg

A Needle in a Sword Pile (Cairn Edition) by C. F. Enriquez A short adventure for a game system people play

I hope you like deathtraps and magic swords.

Just a little something a drew up to play the 1st Edition Cairn RPG! #Worldbuilding #CairnRPG #YochaiGal

A kid using crayons to draw circles around dice on a sheet of paper.

I showed my kid the dice drop method months ago. Last night he spontaneously used it to draw his dungeon map. #cairnrpg #osr

A Review of Cairn (First Edition): Hemingway with Dice From time to time, a TTRPG appears that seems less like a rules fetish and more like a manifesto for a way of thinking. Cairn is one of those. Written by Yochai Gal and published under a Creative Commons license, Cairn is an 18-page pamphlet that condenses the OSR ethos into something lean, elegant, and surprisingly evocative. What is Cairn? At its core, it’s a classless, exploration-focused TTRPG that takes its inspiration from Chris McDowall's…

What if a whole RPG fit in just 18 pages? 📖 Cairn is free, fast to play, and elegant as hell - Hemingway with dice. Scars replace levels, choices cut deep, and the dark Wood awaits. Read my full review of this OSR gem! 🌲🎲 #TTRPG #OSR #CairnRPG
