Join us Saturday, February 7 for a Gala in our future location! We’re gonna have a blast celebrating the upcoming move and our community. We’re holding it in our new space in downtown Asheville (before we move in!).

That’s how we learn

Early 80s Grenadier Ghouls and Mi-Go for my OD&D campaign

My soul craves the days of high adventure.

They're absolutely not mutually exclusive.

Some GMs will pretend like whatever the players do, they foresaw it, whatever happened was their plan all along. I don't do that. I tell them that I don't have any plans, no grand design. Do whatever you want. I want them to know that they're free, and that GMing isn't hard.

Tonight at 7pm we go back to where it all began! Come and play Original D&D with us! Just $10!

Added some skeletons and lizard men to my collection of vintage lead miniatures for OD&D.

This is one of the most difficult posts we have had to make. On Sunday, January 4th, we lost Hayes Christine. He has been an enthusiastic Magic player here for years. Always brewing new Commander decks, even testing out his budget builds against the cEDH masters.

Dungeon Synth

Hot take: one reason I prefer OSR games is because I can't stand "builds" & optimization. Your character shouldn't be preplanned from levels 1-20 with dips into classes for no reason but metagame. PCs should advance according to the emergent narrative of play. But you do you.

Beyond the "Starting Play" section of the Dolmenwood Campaign Book, my main advice is to have the players create a party of Humans from outside the wood. Then they don't have to learn the setting before starting. Instead they can experience the wonder of the wood with fresh eyes.

Grab your torches and your rations. Sharpen your sword, and memorize your spells. And don’t forget your ten-foot pole!

We’re delving into the dungeon! Join us for Original D&D, as it was played from 1974 to 1977, every Saturday at 7pm at Gamers’ Haunt! Just $10!

He did one in this style too!

Nice! I have the dragon but not the wizard or fighter.

Setting up for tonight’s Dolmenwood session!

Love the late 70s/eary 80s red dragon design. Here it is on the 1977 Holmes Basic Set, in the AD&D Monster Manual, and it’s AD&D Monster Card. Not to say there weren’t other variations, but I take this version as the standard of that period of D&D.

Vintage lead for my OD&D campaign. I like using them for OD&D because the 25mm scale just fits better with OD&D’s 1”=10’ than the larger modern minis.

I’m a big fan as well. Cy_Borg and Pirate Borg as well. I need to check out GOZR!

Seems like you’d like Mörk Borg then

authentic osr is from the Keep On The Borderlands region of france, otherwise it's just sparkling retro.

Yeah I agree with that.

Can you run Keep on the Borderlands with it has always been one of the main criteria.

RIGHT LETS FIRE UP THE DISCOURSE ENGINES:

I think a degree of cross-compatibility is necessary to call something OSR, if you cant frankenstein it together with other OSR games then you're doing something else. NSR, maybe. And NSR is good! I love Into The Odd! But the compatibility element matters.

AD&D Monster Cards sets 1-4, complete. A wonderful birthday gift from my wife!

Do you ever run special holiday themed scenarios? This is my favorite adventure to run for Christmas.

This is the best of Dungeons & Dragons to me.
