I have not but you’re tempting me!

What should a town in a West marches campaign even have in it?

  • a relatively safe place to rest
  • resources (hirelings, equipment, etc.) and trade (have to unload those paintings we dragged out of the dungeon somewhere!)
  • access to information, factions, and potential patrons

I created a couple of coats of arms for myself. This is tool is going to be very handy for me as I will definitely be building a bunch of these for my micro-setting.

 

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!

 

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

I think once you publish, the cat’s out of the bag. You can take it down on your end but I don’t know id there’s some right to force others to destroy it too. I think the digital world twists this a bit but, in an analog sense, if I clip something out of a magazine article and, some time later, the author retracts it. That had no authority on me if I want to reference it in an article that I write.

 

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!

Thanks for sharing the link!

It got funded so I’ll look forward to seeing thoughts on it when copies emerge in the wild!

Of all time? Not sure but it’s definitely the longest one I’ve done in a LONG time.

 

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?

It features very well written and designed PDFs for:

  • Genre Rules
  • Dungeon Master’s Guide
  • Psionics and Magic
  • Monster’s Manual
  • Character Sheet
 

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 have any resources to share, drop them here, drop them there, but drop them somewhere so we can spread the knowledge and help each other out!

Are these related to the C.H.U.D.?

Posted to my blog:

Part of the charm (torture?) of old school D&D is gleaning at hints of play that appear in various nooks and crannies of rulebooks, supplements, and adventures. Here's one that I randomly ran into while reading module X1, "The Isle of Dread".

It’s probably a good idea, for situations like this, to post both sides. Here’s the statement from Munkao.

I mentioned archive.org on my reply in the forum. I've never tried saving something to the archive. Does it handle threaded forum style discussions well? That might be one complication for saving at least some sorts of things.

I'm curious as to their procedure. Was it:

  1. Use crystal ball to see a safe location
  2. Jump to that location
  3. Rinse and repeat?
 

This was posted to my forums and I thought it was an important enough topic to deserve more attention:

What is this communities (sic) opinion on saving and potentially rehosting (breaking copyright) of RPG blogs, posts, etc. in the potential event of that contents host going down?

What makes these folk a faction is less about what powers they have and more about their active role in the world: what are they trying to accomplish and why?

It’s totally fine for these hermits to just be an interesting feature of that particular area— without any influence on the outside world— but, if you want to factionalize them, they need goals and motivations.

I like the concept. They sound like adherents to a god of lightning or storms. What might such a god ask of their followers?

 

I’m the first video I’ve done in awhile, I talk about about the one to one campaign time to real time that Gygax mentions in the AD&D DMG.

 

Saw this posted on Mastodon. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but it looks intriguing!

 

Hey all,

Earlier today I streamed a look at the updated Tome of Things I from Kobold Press. It’s a nice book with a good variety of creatures, well laid out, and I appreciate the appendices with monsters organized by CR, type, and terrain.

 

Hey all,

Happy Friday! In about 12 minutes, I'll be streaming across YT and other platforms reading stuff from the OSR and greater TTRPG community and chatting about it! Come hop in if you have the time!
