A review! OUTGUNNED ADVENTURE from Two Little Mice X Free League. Spoiler: I liked it a lot! If you love Indy, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, and the Mummy as much as I do, you won't find a better game for the genre. There's a lot to love here. #ttrpgs scrollforinitiative.com/2026/04/19/f...

#OSR gang: are there any good rules out there for hiring ships? Trying to work out how much it should cost for a party of adventures to travel X days by boat. #OSE

Wyrmling woke me up early and went back to sleep. But good news: I can now do an hour of writing!

Just watched Stand By Me for the first time. My God, what a perfect film. And it's 90 mins.

Is it me or does every RPG innkeeper have sideburns? It's a thing, right? #ttrpgs #osr #5e #dnd

Presenting THE UNFINISHED HALLS, a new adventure for Old-School Essentials! A flooded dungeon inspired by Piranesi and Darkest Dungeon. 25 keyed rooms, a player-driven water system, a wretched cult, and a horrible medusa. Enjoy! And please share! :) www.patreon.com/posts/unfini... #OSE #OSR

I did a map! Very old-school . . . you can still see the graph paper! The UNFINISHED HALLS are nearly finished. Hopefully publishing tonight on Patreon :) #OSE #OSR #dnd #ttrpgs

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

I try not to bring up politics on here, but Trump's language today is literally genocidal. If that's not a line, I don't know what is. I'm paying close attention to my government's actions over the coming days.

Moved house over a year ago and only just found my webcam (as well as a copy of Raven's Purge for #ForbiddenLands). Woohoo!

What is the WORST official #WotC book for #5e? The Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide was pretty lacklustre, and I didn't care much for the Magic crossovers like Theros and Strixhaven. Spelljammer and Dragonlance were massive disappointments. But was anything as disappointing as Vecna? #dnd #ttrpgs

Huh, my birthday is also First Contact Day. Neat! I must have forgotten that. Love that film.

Woah, Copic markers aren't cheap, are they

It's my birthday! And I have about $80 (£60/€70) to spend on #ttrpg goodies. What should I get? #OSR #dnd #5e

Is it me, or has the #Daggerheart hype really died down?

And another one: an #OSR interpretation of a water mephit. Not sure if this one feels a bit too '5e' ish.

#OSR gang! Thoughts on the stat block below? Inspired by Skyrim's dwarven centurions. #OSE

After a year running Level Up 5e, here's my verdict: brilliant monsters, more interesting martial combat, and crunch that sometimes gets in its own way. A review: scrollforinitiative.com/2026/03/28/b... #a5e #ttrpgs #5e #dnd

Next year, we will be closer to the setting of Deus Ex than we are to the year of release.

Oh my goodness, have I just finished a blog post? It's been a while.

Curse of Strahd is ten years old this week? Christ

Boss fight 1 of 3: Malgorath, the great red wyrm.

I want to introduce a phantom in the #OSE adventure I'm writing, but ghosts, wraiths, and spectres seem too powerful and too dark. Is there another stat block that fills a similar role? Grateful for ideas! #OSR

Hello everybody. My name is Olivia, I am the social media coordinator for MCG, and I have made a very silly, embarrassing mistake. Our team has been busy getting ready for GAMA (among some personal issues that have left the Kansas crew a bit scattered), and (1/5) 1/5

Today is the Final Day of the Dragonbane Sale! Don't miss out!

Today I ran a session of Nightmare over Ragged Hollow by @josephrlewis.bsky.social (published by @themerrymushmen.bsky.social). FANTASTIC writing. So clear, easy to parse, yet full of fun and flavour. WotC, THIS is how adventures should be written! Now I want to run Obsidian Keep, too… #OSE #OSR

I *promise* I'm working on the Unfinished Halls (the name is starting to become unintentionally ironic, though). The minimalism of the #OSR takes some getting used to, but I'm fairly happy with how it's looking so far. Treasure is such a big part of #OSE that I want to get it right later.

Owlbear! One of my favourite monsters, but I've never painted one until now! Bashed it out in about 20 mins—a mix of drybrushing and wetblending with a tiny bit of wash on the claws. Just needs a base and maybe a bit of wash in the shadows 🦉🐻 #dnd #5e #osr #ttrpgs

Listen, if you ever found shared community at a D&D table, if you ever used D&D to explore the possibilities of who you could be, if some of your most cherished memories involve rolling dice, you should stand in opposition to this deal. Honor demands no less.

A game I've wanted to play for a LONG, long time, and now you can buy it and fight fascism at the same! Great.

We're ending our A5e campaign with three epic boss fights. Next session: a great red wyrm. Seven or eight players. 15th level. Blaster pistols. LET'S GO #dnd #5e

Looking for a big, 'orrible, Lovecraftian floating monstrosity mini. Any suggestions?

Bit of a pause with the Drowned Labyrinth atm. Full-on at work and home. But hoping to draw the first level soon!

I‘ve always liked gricks since I saw the art in my first D&D adventure “Lost Mines Of Phandelver.” However, I always imagined them larger than the rules described. The basic grick is only Medium size. Personally, I’d make them all Large with the grick alpha being Huge.

There were a wealth of monsters introduced in 3rd ed. Dire animals make the top of my list for not being 'weird' or 'aberrant' or demonic and could fit in many a sword and sorcery setting.

Today I learned that gricks did not exist in #dnd before 3rd edition. Huh. I always assumed they were classic dungeon monsters like rust monsters and grells. Guess not!

Not American, and try not to get into world events too much, but the shit going on in the States is horrifying, frightening, sickening. Fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, fuck ICE, and fuck every single person who enables them. History will judge you.

Part 5 of my new campaign series is up! I’ve started work on the Drowned Labyrinth: factions, hazards, treasure, encounter ratios, and the intended rhythm of play. Very OSE, very focused on exploration, with a big nod to #Piranesi. scrollforinitiative.com/2026/01/21/b... #osr #ttrpg #ose

I don't understand how Scribd continues to exist as a site. It's a haven for copyright infringement.

My main aim for my next campaign: Track. Time. Properly.

Always lovely to see Eberk, Alhandra, and Nebin on the cover! They never got enough love 😃

I'm seeing more and more Instagram captions written by Chat GPT, and they all sound like Patrick Bateman.

I've used em dashes for YEARS. It infuriates me that if I use them in my writing people assume it's AI. Should I give up and ditch them? Or switch to spaced en dashes, perhaps?

More awful news from the States. Just appalling.

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

I really cannot express how much I hate #LinkedIn. Makes me want to hurl.
