Took me a couple of months of planning, writing, editing and layouting (is this even a word?). But Z.I.N.E. 2026.01 it's finally here! As always, Creative Commons and PayWhatYouWant... so, are you still waiting? #ttrpg #osr #zine @itch.io

Just because it got brought up on Between Two Cairns this week - please please please - your weird awful diy art is always always more interesting than AI art. Regardless of ‘quality’.

Skerples writes an alternate parallel version of the D&D universe based solely on the OD&D rules, with no “Appendix N” suggested reading, and it turns out… pretty interesting and cool #ttrpg coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/11/osr-...

My daily Bloggies picks (18): We all love seeing design process. @yochaigal.bsky.social shows how to use the tables he made for Cairn 2e to build a forest adventure, and then he went and published it. very cool! newschoolrevolution.com/lets-make-a-...

I'm tempted by the Arden Vul Bundle of Holding offer. I'm not sure I'll ever get the chance to run it (although I hope so) and I'd rather have physical books...but 25$ for the whole thing instead of 109 seems like a hell of a deal. Does anyone have opinions or suggestions? #ttrpg #osr #megadungeon

I discovered only this morning I'd run a game for my online group this afternoon and chose to go with Rotblack Sludge in Mork Borg (which I had only read once like a month ago). Once again I love this family of games, it was my first time running MB and it was a ton of fun! #ttrpg #osr #morkborg

I've just finished my 4th TTRPG game kn 3 days: one as a player in Pirate Borg online, 3 as GM in a 5e campaign online, in a Duet campaign with my wife and in a Pirate Borg one-shot online. And they all went great. I am on a high! This last one was all 5e-only players that loved it, so a success!

By far my favorite part of #OSR game discussion is the intricate network of blogs you can find. One blog post cites another which cites two more and so on and so forth. You can trace how ideas pass between people and evolve, or even find tangentially related cool ideas. It's like wikipedia. #ttrpg

I wrote about my plans for 2026, both under the @cairnrpg.com umbrella and Between Two Cairns. newschoolrevolution.com/cairn-in-2026/

I was finally able to run a Pirate Borg game! It was a duet one-shot for my wife (her first time playing something other than 5e) and it was so fun she said she wants to continue it as a campaign! It feels so good! #ttrpg #osr #Pirateborg

Did I wake up at 3 am from a dream that gave an idea I could use for a Cy_Borg module I'm creating and get up to get my notebook and write it down? Yes, I did. Twice, in fact, because after getting back to bed I had a follow-up to that first idea, so I got back up and wrote that down too.
