You’re training with the weights on, but it’s worth it! You’re growing the hobby!

Truly, I wish you the best on your quest! Good luck!

A deer's antler, of course. They ground it to powder and coated their boots with it and tromped straight up the fucking acid stairs.

And I'm pretty sure every OSR blogger creamed their jeans at that moment and had no idea why. 4/4

"Didn't they used to make ammonium bicarbonate from hart's horn?" And I was like... "what?"

"Yeah," she said, "I remember one of my grandma's baking recipes called for hartshorn, they used to grind it down from antlers."

From there, she used a character's ability to pull an item from her bag: 3/4

When they talked to the mercenaries camped in the mountains, they told them about a set of stairs carved through a cliff that melted their boot-soles and burned their feet, better to take the long way around. While we were joking about simply wearing basic shoes, one of my players piped up: 2/4

Had a moment in Mythic Bastionland which was the OSR wet dream: The party learned there was a barrier between them and the hex they wanted to get to, and the "wonder" I rolled on the spark table was "acidic stairs." I thought that was too cool to pass up, so... 1/4

tonight in my knight game: left the holding to the True Knight, met the boisterous Dwarf, weaved fern parasols to shade the Devil's Light, met suspiciously well-armed mercs, snuck into their tent and read their mail, and climbed the acid stairs with the help of the Key Knight's baking knowledge

Godspeed, then! I assume you've also done Ironsworn with the oracles?

Playing Spindlewheel could be a step on this journey?

The Windy Realm Gazette Issue 1 A Quarterly TTRPG Zine focused on the Chicagoland TTRPG scene and it's amazing creators

I am posting this here now to remind myself to post it again during a more traffic heavy posting time.

Chicago is getting a quarterly zine to celebrate our robust RPG scene! You can support it now on Kickstarter:

today in my dagger game: chased a mushroom guy, defused a magical bomb exploding a monster carcass into snakes, became part-time exterminators, found out all musroom guys DO know each other, met with the Underworld's Overboss, geared up, climbed down a hole to the deep wheat, and got hunted by bugs

today in my dragon game: ziplined away from an imploding colossus with its stolen brain, a picnic by a portal, an archwizard with a crotch like a Ken doll, visions of dread, pissed off the beer gardener, got scared half to death at a haunted house, and gave the fey a name LIKE A RUBE

absolute ledge

posting 'mommy' under my friend's selfie & being immediately indicted and tried in absentia via zoom by the dung-age wasteland called the "united kingdom". the judge wobbles his habsburg jaw as he sentences me to hard labour. five years in the data mines owned by Lord Childtraffick of Molestershire

Diabolic Dialect Grab your Spellbook, don your robes! Dive into a magical game of weird wizards and insane, linguistic spellcasting!

I am honored to say I ran a session of this at my local playtest group, I recommend this game where EVERYONE IS WIZARDS and ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN BE A MAGIC SPELL strongly. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

But Ryan, you can do the module WITHOUT combat! 😈

Oh that makes so much sense

What a fffffffhucking LOSER oh my god imagine sending an entire email about this

Oh, great pull! 1 & 2 sitting on my zine shelf

I am currently and perhaps unfairly disqualifying it, but it bats in the same league for sure.

Unrelated, but since living with rabbits I’ve had the idea for leporine goblins and no place to put them

Has a setting with as much juice as The Wildsea come out since The Wildsea? Reading through this book again and it just crushes it.

Distressing if true!

Yes! Expected/recommended session count!

Yeah, I didn't even think about digital storefronts!!

Yes, absolutely!

Why is it so uncommon to find RPGs that actually give recommended player counts? Is this an oversight? Are we assuming the size of the average RPG group? It seems shocking to me to not include the number or range of people the game is designed for.

Why would I want that? Then there’s nothing to argue about

Also B/X and the GLOG
