It's time for more BETWEEN TWO CAIRNS featuring special guest @explorersdesign.bsky.social. We review "Warped Beyond Recognition" by @traaa.sh. Enjoy your delicious moments, folks. www.patreon.com/posts/142727...

idolofmanyhands.itch.io/cairn-2e-war... The other day I made a Custom Warden Screen designed for quick reference at the table, with the following content: Core Rules, Equipment, Downtime, Dungeon Exploration, Wilderness Exploration. Enjoy! #cairnrpg #ttrpg #osr #cairn #cairn2e #dmscreen

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes. It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess. cairnrpg.com/barebones/

The Bastionland Podcast is back! This episode welcomes @limithron.bsky.social to pick three games that are important to him. open.spotify.com/episode/28mx...

My book is for sale via @spacepenguinink.bsky.social as of today! G, Jarrett, and I worked hard on this and are super proud of what we made. If you want to bring your osr dungeon crawling into a forsaken far future check it out! spacepenguin.ink/collections/...

So excited to share the Kickstarter for Wildendrem Volume Two: The Saintly Hollows, my ongoing tabletop RPG collaboration with @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social. We have so much fun writing these, and people seem to like playing them too. #osr #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

OH YEAH BROTHER, OH YEAH! (I will be selling this on the Cairn store, you better believe it)

The open beta release for Pilgrim's Passages, my house rule set, is here! It attempts to tackle travel, item crafting, and spell programing. If you would like to check it out please click the link in the next post. It's "Pay What You Want", so feel free to take it for a spin. #osr #ttrpg

On today's Between Two Cairns we're joined by @benjaminmarra.bsky.social to review the Gygaxian classic D1 + D2: Descent into the Depths of the Earth www.patreon.com/posts/140574...

A map to a forgotten valley where the honey is sweet & the children are sent away with vacant eyes. Every path leads closer to the hive's embrace. Stunning art by @danielharila.bsky.social for my Cairn folk horror adventure, The Beekeeper's Tithe. #Cairn #TTRPG #OSR #FolkHorror #Cartography

I painted this GM screen for Old School Essentials, catering to all your old-school gaming needs. It's available for Pre-Order over on the Exalted Funeral website (link in bio). I'm excited to see this screen listed. Acrylic on canvas. 60x18. #ose #oldschoolessentials #osr #ttrpgart #fantasyart

There's a new Between Two Cairns podcast out wherein we review the module "TURN IT OFF" by Cloud Press. Attention all you spooked out pumpkin day freaks: this is a tight, creepy, one-shot. www.patreon.com/posts/140027...

There are old paths through the woods that wise folk shun. You are not wise. Soon you'll be able to explore them in my upcoming, fully illustrated Folk Horror adventure for Cairn. Amazing cover illustration by @danielharila.bsky.social ​• #Cairn #TTRPG #OSR #Horror #FolkHorror #fantasyart #art

New post! I'm turning “No Peace for the Heathen” into a setting zine for OSR games. Also, I might make a companion wargame/skirmish zine in the same setting. 😌 #ttrpg #osr #wargame #cairn #tabletopgame #fantasy #southamerica #chile #warhammer #dnd knittedbones.substack.com/p/returning-...

On Between Two Cairns, @yochaigal.bsky.social, Skullboy, and I discuss "The Chateau Amongst the Stars" by @revivifygames.bsky.social. Also: should published modules be Tolkien-coded? www.patreon.com/posts/139419...

Coming next summer! Join @bradkerr.net, Skullboy and I at Between Two Cons, an indie RPG/OSR convention in Portland, Oregon. Fill out this survey to influence how it takes shape: forms.gle/bxs7RkvRkeeD...

20 #osr character backgrounds for my science-fantasy megastructure - this time for the nomadic ship-clans of the Navigators.

I now speak Foolish Endeavor Games into existence (coming in just under the wire to fulfill my self-set goal to launch in 2024 😅). Homepage: foolishendeavor.games Games on itch: foolishendgames.itch.io

Every area of the hobby has some wrong'uns, but outside of WW2 and grimdark wargaming, the OSR has the worst rep for being a safe place for fash to soft sell their ideas. This can't be danced around, and needs to be confronted and uprooted at every turn. No pasarán.

Doodled some dungeon bits inspired by The Black Hack and the works of @skullfungus.bsky.social #OSR #D&D

Hey folks. I've deleted my post linking to the QB review of my work, as it has upset some folks and that's not good. I don't personally feel the same as they do, though I am going to mull over it for a while. Feel free to engage with me over it here, I'm willing to listen.

AH! I forgot to do a holiday sale earlier! Look! All my stuff is very cheap for the next few days: (50% off or everything for $10) #rpg #osr itch.io/s/145327/las...

Now with tote bags!

Yesterday I replied to a post by @daseinphil.bsky.social about 5e players playing in the OSR style. I provided some answers, and @weirdwonder.bsky.social asked if I'd put those in a blogpost. Here its is! newschoolrevolution.com/basic-osr-pr...

@bradkerr.bsky.social Can't believe they didn't go with

You can now buy Between Two Cairns t-shirts (and mugs!) at Skullboy's (aka Sam Mameli, aka Better Legends) store on cotton bureau! There are three designs. Guess which I like the best? cottonbureau.com/people/bette...

DMing Cairn's Bloodmarm this afternoon (art for the adventure by Benjamin Marra)

Got some (mostly OSR) books in the mail the past few days. I'm gonna talk about each of them and link to where folks can find them. Additional details in the alt-text, because the text limit is way higher there.

The Cairn edition of "Witches of Frostwyck" is now available in print, featuring amazing art by @wuggy.bsky.social #osr #ttrpg www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

I finally played Life in Reterra by @ericlang.bsky.social. It's really interesting! Like a hopeful Tetris. I really like the build quality of the components as well, particularly as they are made from mostly recyclable materials.

Rolla airson iomairt! In the latest episode of OH!CAST, we speak to Yochai Gal, creator of the Cairn TTRPG. 👉 https://buff.ly/4giXNer 👉 https://buff.ly/4gjSpHX 👉 https://buff.ly/3MPhJrM" OH!CAST WhatsApp - bit.ly/oh-cast

The designers of this are releasing it CC-BY-SA and the illustrations CC0 (Public Domain) once it's finished. That's incredible. Almost at its goal. I grabbed a physical copy (sucker for foil) and you should, too! An adaptation of this for Grimwild would be absolute 🔥

Read through Knave second edition, finally. What a tight little book! Different in ways that I didn't expect (well I saw playtest docs but sort of fell off after a while). I miss Maze Knights though. That was a cool idea.
