🔥 Advance promos of a Red Dragon metal mini, based on the #HolmesBasic cover by David Sutherland, were given out at GAMA by the manufacturer Sirius. Josh Warduke has already exquisitely painted one! ⤵️

So, I bought this broken down, split spine, board separated, sorry state AD&D 1e Monster Manual. The idea is that I'm going to colour my way through it. A bit of meditative self time. Call it sacrilege, but I figure this book can have a second life, albeit under my amateur hand. :O) #OSR

We picked up this metal dragon miniature inspired by the cover of the 1977 Holmes Basic D&D box set from @siriusdice.bsky.social at #gamaexpo2026. And now @wardukeathome.bsky.social has painted it up for our OD&D campaign here at the Haunt!

Tonight’s painting: the new metal Holmes Basic red dragon from @siriusdice.bsky.social

Pig faced orcs for OD&D

We'll be back in the dungeon tomorrow! Come out for Original D&D at 7pm on Saturday!

Every creature-based commander deck that can play this should be. It defends against attacks, protects your board, removes blockers… it’s a true Swiss Army knife.

This is the kind of shit I'm into. How about you?

Introducing our first ever Gamers’ Haunt hoodie! Grayson Manning made us this jaw-dropping design, and you can preorder your zip-up hoodie now on our site for a limited time: www.gamershaunt.com/product/game...

Finally got around to painting the minis for our Dolmenwood

Not enough people are talking about Dolmenwood

1970s Pig Faced Orcs from Minifigs painted tonight for my OD&D campaign

Y’all. Y’ALL. Thank you SO MUCH for showing up for the Gala last night; the place was packed with just short of 200 nerds that we love so dearly. We knew the new location downtown was going to be great—we weren’t ready for how amazing it would be to see all of you filling it up with your presence.

Had to cancel tonight’s OD&D session at @gamershaunt.bsky.social due to the snow, so instead I got these hirelings painted and ready for the next session!

This Azorius Merfolk deck is a little on the weak side for a bracket 3. Any suggestions? moxfield.com/decks/oIkay6...

Join us Saturday, February 7 for a Gala in our future location! We’re gonna have a blast celebrating the upcoming move and our community. We’re holding it in our new space in downtown Asheville (before we move in!).

Early 80s Grenadier Ghouls and Mi-Go for my OD&D campaign

My soul craves the days of high adventure.

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.

Dungeon Synth

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.

Grab your torches and your rations. Sharpen your sword, and memorize your spells. And don’t forget your ten-foot pole! We’re delving into the dungeon! Join us for Original D&D, as it was played from 1974 to 1977, every Saturday at 7pm at Gamers’ Haunt! Just $10!

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.

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!

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!

This is Dungeons & Dragons

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
