OSR Christmas: Day 1 Winner

Bygamingballistic

For the first day of Christmas, the random number generator says . . . Edwin Nagy!

He’ll get to choose between Lost Hall of Tyr and Dungeon Grappling . . . because it’s not like I’m running out of PDFs any time soon.

Anybody that did NOT win – 26 more folks that left a comment today – will be rolled forward each day for the PDF awards.

I would appreciate a fresh comment if you’re interested in a physical product. The first one, on the 16th, will be a copy of Dungeon Grappling.

Merry Christmas!

Festival of the Week?

Bygamingballistic

I am having *ridiculous* fun writing festivals for the Hall of Judgment setting and adventure. Why festivals? They’re a great way to introduce a party of adventurers to a new town and culture. There can be competitions, roleplaying, interesting customs, intrigue, rumors, and exposition. Why so many festivals? So you don’t have to force a…

A New Sword: Expectations, Reality, and Alteration Plans

A Superior Training Sword for Me? I was perusing the Sword Buyer’s Guide list of swords under $300; I’m always on the lookout for less expensive training swords that my classmates and I can consider for use once we pass our first rank test, from Karl to Vikingr. Yah, Viking-style fighting: sword-and-shield, spear-and-shield, axe-and-shield, etc….

Dungeon Grappling: Tower of Justice So, I ran the Con Scenario that was shorthanded Grappling Smackdown but is formally called The Tower of Justice. The seats were supposed to be filled; I had three initial no shows, but then three…

Nice things to do for your TTRPG Group

James Introcaso asked a simple question. What is the kindest thing a player can do for a GM? #DnD #RPG The answers are well worth reading. A few things spring to mind here, many of which are doubtless repeated in the thread. Show up on time If you’re not going to show or are going…
