Played it! Mythic Bastionland. My takeaway was this game's design focused on simplicity and emergent gameplay, encouraging players to create and play within streamlined frameworks. AND THERE ARE 72 POEMS!!! open.substack.com/pub/playfear...

Hodag doing He-Man. Two great tastes, together at last.

Everyone is sharing this Kickstarter, why not me. If you aren’t familiar, Apocalypse World is one of the best OSR DMGs. Teaching the youth how to play old-school D&D since 2010. … It’s also a game in its own right. I’ve played it! Do recommend.

The British version of basic D&D with the Blanche cover goes hard

yessssss

I wrote a blog post on an OD&D campaign I'm starting soon, as well as outlining a procedure inspired by Turn Undead to make people shit themselves. chaoclypse.substack.com/p/bear-witness

New free Troika just appeared: melsonian-arts-council.itch.io/troika-numin...

Dreams do come true.

In the Land of the Sundering Flood is a miniature adventure game, what I might call a narrative skirmish game. Perhaps a little like Dolorous Stroke, which I still need to play.

That was an amazing series all the same. Some absolutely incredible games. I started watching when I saw a shirtless Heineman win us a game and was so sure we would win the World Series. Came pretty close, anyway.

The only annoying thing about managing the OSR feed is manually approving or denying all the posts that mention Troika, because the word Troika is having a bit of a moment in this garbage time line we live in.

The Troika 1:5 series has been full of some great old school adventures. Can Season of the Snail continue the trend!?

Catching up on my Wyrd Science, slowly. Everything @elkowalczuk.bsky.social draws is amazing.

Let’s fucking go. When Heineman got that base hit and the team ripped his shirt off I knew we were gonna win the World Series.

Great write up on the friday night events on #over/under

Hells Yeah, let’s fucking go Blue Jays.

A "complete" ttrpg is one you can buy for your 9 year old nephew, who will struggle through that single book and eventually absorb it like an old tree does with a metal fence. And thats all they need.

I have two copies of this game. One for being a Melsonia Friend, the other for backing the kickstarter. Decadent. I should probably sell one. Or should I?!

We are delighted to reveal the next step of the Trench Crusade adventure: The Prussian Stosstruppen Warband box… in hard plastic. You can find out more about what’s in the box, the rules for the warband and more on our website. www.trenchcrusade.com/news/the-pru... #trenchcrusade #wargaming

What we have been waiting for. So hyped for Airlock. Also a fancy version of Zombie World. 🤔

I am playing this crazy game, if showing up just means popping in to post salute emojis. If I had more time I would have become a misinformation broker. That probably would had been fun. Ha!

How did I only learn about this now?! This is mother fucking warhammer.

Warcry is the best game GW has ever made. Don’t @ me. Unless it’s to talk about how good Warcry is, then you totally should.

Space Weirdos is great. Now even greater.

A cooler take on the sort of inspiration mechanic you see in 5e, by @voiceless.bsky.social

A nice wilderness stocking table from @ktrey.bsky.social to help you make a good hex crawl.

That Games Workshop is making Games Workshop money and Graeme Davis is not just living off of residuals sent to him by GW is absurd.

I wish my work wasn’t 100% bananas right now because this game sounds 100% bananas.

I had started to quote post Paul's review/reflection a few days ago, but then ran out of space to fit all of my thoughts down on what he had said. Lucky I have a blog! Go read both.

I conveniently blogged about this topic, before I even made my D&D blog. The absolutely bananas DCC RPG was my intro to OSR. I never played it that much, but it was the game thing that led me to everything else.

If you mail stuff to your friends and wait patiently, dreams can come true. 28 magazine in Toronto. All the best INQ28 stuff.

Because games don’t exist in isolation we’ve introduced Sidequests, the new section of the magazine where you’ll find writing on everything from bands like Castle Rat through to fantasy inspired art exhibitions by artists like Jean Jullien…

Warcry is the greatest game to come out of GW!

Two books from the man himself totally_not_panicking, Matt Ross. The first is a collection of his kitbashes, mixed with a little writing. The second is a collaboration with one of my favourite Warhammer YouTubers, Trent of Miscast Minis.

Magpie has shared a preview of their new game Airlock on Roll20. Airlock is the space horror version of Zombie World, one of my favourite games.

My friend is visiting from the US, so I should finally receive my copy of the 28 collected. I was so happy they decided to make a printed version. The magazines are incredible. You can see a flip through below.

In.

I bought this book that is clearly meant for 10 year olds. Each page is about some 40K character. The form factor is kind of goofy, it’s like an inch of space for a small sprue. Adding to the this is very much for children effect.

Happy Birthday to Jesse! Trophy Gold is one of my absolutely favourites. Playing it with the #TorontOSR was a blast. Felt like for a while we had a posse of people obsessed. Need to come back to it, do something with Loom!

SWD6RPG starter pack is go! lemme know if you'd like to be added to it below.

False Machine orders to North America are now open once more falseparcels.bigcartel.com

With a title like that you know this RPG nonsense is going to be good.

Everyone's heard of owlbears. But what about leechbears?

I loved Pound of Flesh. I’m curious what the Mothership posse will do expanding the adventure out. It’s already fantastic — and very dense.

The briefest post on reaction rolls, after listening to Between Two Cairns. I need to get back to my habit of just posting short thoughts on places that might not implode.

This series of pictures from Evlyn has been some of my favourite stuff. Really enjoy the last batch of drawings in this weird library.

Absolutely incredible paint job. 😮
