At last, I have acquired another legendary tome for my library. 📚 The Monster Overhaul, A Practical Bestiary by @skerples.bsky.social is what all manner of monster manuals wish to be when they grow up. 👹 #bestiary #monstermanual #ttrpg #ttrpgs

Spent the last month mapping the blogosphere by its links. The graph is finally ready Communities clump into a big hex and the whole thing looks like a star map What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky? elmc.at/mapping-the-... To check out the graph directly follow this link: graph.elmc.at

🙏CHAPTER SERF🙏 I finished it! A Warhammer 40K adventure & TTRPG where you *don't* play Space Marines. Instead you play those little hooded freaks loitering in the background while Space Marines hog the limelight. PDF here: drive.google.com/file/d/1V4Mt... 1/

I reviewed every adventure in the book back in 2020 coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2020/01/osr-... They're well worth using. And $9! An absolute steal.

More charts! I'm looking into various "room treasure" tables. Once again, the average value is misleading. Gems + jewellery dominate if present.

What can you infer about OD&D if you ignore its actual influences? coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/11/osr-...

Today, come with me to the Marish: the boggy and fertile farmland at the eastern borders of the Shire. Visit Farmer Maggot (you will not be his strangest guest) or see if you can unravel the mysteries of the haunted Deephallow House.

Affinity's big announcement: AI slop. Hooray. Just what literally no one asked for.

Testing out a compact treasure table. Since the average value of a complex roll can be misleading, I've added a d10 multiplier table to spice up the average if you don't feel like rolling normally.

Spending my Sunday squinting at charts. For Treasure Type A, OD&D and AD&D have fairly similar values and distributions, despite using different methods. OSE, though, with its fixed (3d6x100gp) jewellery value and 50% chance of 1d2x1,000 platinum pieces, has a very different curve.

Hooray, math! coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/10/osr-...

Here's a tweaked version I'm using for OD&D. Might be handy. @dysonlogos.bsky.social as usual gets all the credit for an excellent and timeless design.

I've also created an OD&D hexcrawl. www.patreon.com/posts/od-d-h... Not every hex is keyed, but major locations are included, treasure is pre-rolled, and some emergent factions and quests are ready to go.

I wrote a 3-level OD&D dungeon. The key is available on Patreon. It's not fancy, it's not complicated, but it is a dungeon, and sometimes that's all you need: www.patreon.com/posts/od-d-o...

Myths, Legends, and Folktales to sprinkle into the background of your setting.

And, of course, some standard adventuring crimes.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Watch, who investigate crime; and the Judicial Minotaurs, who disembowel the guilty. These are their stories.

So "Zone of Truth" makes trials trivial, eh? Well not anymore.
