Some GMs will pretend like whatever the players do, they foresaw it, whatever happened was their plan all along. I don't do that. I tell them that I don't have any plans, no grand design. Do whatever you want. I want them to know that they're free, and that GMing isn't hard.

Tonight at 7pm we go back to where it all began! Come and play Original D&D with us! Just $10!

Added some skeletons and lizard men to my collection of vintage lead miniatures for OD&D.

This is one of the most difficult posts we have had to make. On Sunday, January 4th, we lost Hayes Christine. He has been an enthusiastic Magic player here for years. Always brewing new Commander decks, even testing out his budget builds against the cEDH masters.

Hot take: one reason I prefer OSR games is because I can't stand "builds" & optimization. Your character shouldn't be preplanned from levels 1-20 with dips into classes for no reason but metagame. PCs should advance according to the emergent narrative of play. But you do you.

Beyond the "Starting Play" section of the Dolmenwood Campaign Book, my main advice is to have the players create a party of Humans from outside the wood. Then they don't have to learn the setting before starting. Instead they can experience the wonder of the wood with fresh eyes.

Setting up for tonight’s Dolmenwood session!

Love the late 70s/eary 80s red dragon design. Here it is on the 1977 Holmes Basic Set, in the AD&D Monster Manual, and it’s AD&D Monster Card. Not to say there weren’t other variations, but I take this version as the standard of that period of D&D.

Vintage lead for my OD&D campaign. I like using them for OD&D because the 25mm scale just fits better with OD&D’s 1”=10’ than the larger modern minis.

Our adventures continue! We are playing Original Dungeons & Dragons tonight at 7pm! Just $10

authentic osr is from the Keep On The Borderlands region of france, otherwise it's just sparkling retro.

RIGHT LETS FIRE UP THE DISCOURSE ENGINES: I think a degree of cross-compatibility is necessary to call something OSR, if you cant frankenstein it together with other OSR games then you're doing something else. NSR, maybe. And NSR is good! I love Into The Odd! But the compatibility element matters.

AD&D Monster Cards sets 1-4, complete. A wonderful birthday gift from my wife!

Do you ever run special holiday themed scenarios? This is my favorite adventure to run for Christmas.

This is the best of Dungeons & Dragons to me.

Our OD&D campaign has been going really well. It's a setting with a town, wilderness hexcrawl, and megadungeon, all with a weird twist and all of my own design. So far 8 different players have risked it all to change their stars. Many have fallen, but some fight on!

The Greyhawk novels!

Join us Saturday (that’s tomorrow!) at 7pm for our continuing Original D&D adventures! Just $10!

The DM’s number one job is to be a fair and neutral arbiter between the players and the world. It is not to make sure everyone is having fun. As long as the DM is fair and neutral, the players can go anywhere and do whatever they want. Their fun relies upon their choices.

Join us for Original D&D tomorrow (Saturday) at 7pm, where we play the game as it was played from 1974-1977! Just $10!

Wait no more faerie fae, Dolmenwood is here! The weird, twilight-tinged woods are alive again and the supplies have landed. From hardcover core books, wild beasties, tangled fairy roads, and secrets waiting in root-wrought ruins, and not to mention the extra collectables. Buy yours: bit.ly/3Kfj79e

If you play multiple sessions of my OD&D campaign I’m running at @gamershaunt.bsky.social you can get in-game rewards! And since our campaign is a deadly D&D virtual simulation taking place in a near-future cyberpunk dystopia, those rewards are randomized loot boxes!

Join us for the next session of Original Dungeons & Dragons, this Saturday (Tomorrow!) at 7pm! Just $10!

Do you have old Roleplaying Games you don't play anymore, collecting dust and taking up space? Bring them down to Gamers Haunt and trade them in for cash or store credit!

Original D&D! Tonight at 7pm!

Got my Dolmenwood kickstarter stuff today! I’ve been running this campaign from the PDFs for almost 2 years and it’s sooooo satisfying to finally have the physical products! Great stuff from @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social

This is my favorite ttrpg: @chaosium.bsky.social’s Call of Cthulhu. What’s yours?

I’ve got an itch to run the OG Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign for @chaosium.bsky.social’s Call of Cthulhu

When I'm talking about Dungeons & Dragons, this is what I'm talking about.

It's strange to me that some players will be like "can I just roll to solve this puzzle? It's my genius character that's solving it, not me," but won't be like "can I just roll and the GM tell me where to move and what action to take? My character is better at tactics than me."

No OD&D tonight at @gamershaunt.bsky.social. We’ll see you next Saturday!

Which one should I use as the commander card for my Nekusar deck? moxfield.com/decks/5LDcz3...

Medieval Times after MagicCon ATL!

Ladies Night at Last Light! 🥂

There are a lot of awesome, iconic swords in fantasy. Excalibur, Conan's Atlantean Sword, Andúril, Stormbringer... My favorite is the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane.

Lae'zel: Act 1 / Act 3 I like to keep Lae'zel in as much Githyanki gear as possible. By the end she's got the Psionic Ward Armor, Hr'a'cknir Bracers, Boots of Psionic Movement, Aberration Hunter's Amulet, Circlet of Psionic Revenge, Crossbow of Arcane Force, & the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane.

Group photo before the final battle.
