Breaking News... Spacefaring dwarven ironclad goes to war! Find out more here: www.facebook.com/groups/Calidar DTRPG: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher... #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Therein lies the source of a brooding civil war on the World of Kragdûr. #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Space runabout, dwarven style. #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Pt III The curvature of that tiny planetoid limits the distance the PCs can observe around them. Time is also of the essence because the PCs wear spacesuits with limited breathable air. Happy trails! #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Pt II The first map has all the details, the next two are Players' Aid versions (you might recognize an X1 "Isle of Dread" approach with the third). (...) #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Pt I The adventure in the "Iron Queen" includes an away mission for the PCs, on a large, airless asteroid. The map shows their short trek from their LZ to the objective. (...) #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

I had to recover a diagram from CAL1, which should be helpful in my present project. I didn't have the original file, so I recreated it with extra info. #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Oh, well. I just handed over the Iron Queen manuscript to my editor. Sigh... I feel under-employed. The poster maps are done, but I want to collect the book's maps and save a set labeled for the DM and another, unlabeled and edited for players. #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

I added an extra adventure idea to the last chapter. It entails removing the aft turret and replacing its entire structure with accommodations for ambassadors to run a special mission. Shown here: the top lounge, with bar and glass canopy. #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Here's the booklet's back cover. Happy Trails! #OSE #B/X #BECMI #DnD #RPG #Calidar #TTRPG #OSR

Since I completed three earlier articles on French and British WWII aviation, here's the fourth installment. This one is about the prowess of American industrial might in military aerospace. Let me know if you're interested in more of that stuff. Thanks! bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2025/08/USWW...

I put together a summary of British aviation during WWII -- its challenge to meet production demands before and during the Battle of Britain, and eventually its mergers. bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2025/07/Brit...

As a follow-up to my previous article, I took a more in-depth look at the sources of issues that plagued French air power in WWII, with a few "what-ifs" added along the way. bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2025/07/Fren...

Next step, statewide or nationwide? #TTRPG #DnD #D&D #OSR #BECMI #Mystara

Here's a bit of research I've done on French aviation of WWII, especially its industries and mergers. There's a lot to be said that explains the troubles of France's pre-World War II military aviation. #WWII #Aviation #Warbirds bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2025/07/WWII...

A bit of a rabbit hole, this one ran much longer than I anticipated. How lucky would you feel if one of those pointed directly at your skyship? Full-res image in the comments. #TTRPG #DnD #D&D #BECMI #Calidar #Skyship #OSR #Dwarves #Spelljammer #Steampunk bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2025/07/Iron...

Details of my current project: the floor plans of a dwarven ironclad, 1" per sq., 1 sq. = 5ft. This part focuses on the Iron Queen's powerplants. The full resolution image in the comments. #TTRPG #D&D #DnD #Calidar #BECMI #OSR #Steampunk #Dwarves #Skyship bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2025/07/Fetz...

Does anyone pay attention to the cost of running castles, palaces, and other structures? #TTRPG #D&D #DnD #Mystara #OSR bruce-heard.blogspot.com/2025/06/Cast...

Copy & paste this comment to spread the message. Support a nationwide strike to repeal this government. We need only sway a few GOP reps and senators to flip all of Congress. Paralyze the country's economy and watch billionaires defect PDQ. Take the money away, and Sauron's tower will collapse.

Someone outside this group posted the thought that thieves are assassins since they have the backstab ability by default. An assassin class early in the AD&D system offered slower advancement in exchange for combat-related benefits and a better chance to eliminate a target. #BECMI #TTRG #D&D #DnD

Hey Old-School D&D BlueSky. Can't sleep so let's chat. What are/were you favorite parts of the #BECMI #Companion set? I think I am leaning towards the stronger monsters, spells, and the addition of the Druid (such that it is) to the Basic-era D&D rules.

Something fun for a change. Say hi to Tom Wham for another of his creations. #TTRPG #TomWham #Kickstarter #Boardgame www.kickstarter.com/projects/519...

Good friends of ours are launching their Kickstarter. I'm boosting their signal. This is intended for my buddies in Italy. (Link in the first comment.) #TTRPG #OSR #DnD #D&D

Message from the future. #StarTrek #TTRPG #GulfofAmerica #GulfofMexico

Hi all. I'm looking for a good name for a character class I'm working on. (see attached text image) If you have any ideas for something that sounds great and conveys the general idea, feel free to suggest. Cheers! #TTRPG #DnD #D&D #OSR #BECMI #Mystara

I'm thinking of writing up a PC/NPC rather sinister character class whose general purpose is to "eat magic," hunting spellcasters or magic beasts and slaying them to earn XPs and power up its own spellcasting ability. Any interest? #TTRPG #D&D #DnD #OSR #BECMI #Mystara #Roleplay

Hi all. What popular monsters from other RPGs have you converted to BECMI? Do you have stats for them? #TTRPG #OSR #D&D #DnD #Roleplay #Monster

My old D&D BECMI group has finally gone private. This was due to a failure with Facebook's settings intended to screen membership requests. Going private resolved this issue. This was a pain to deal with and an open door to bots and porn peddlers. www.facebook.com/groups/BECMI/ #TTRPG #D&D #OSR

Here's a post from another platform by Richard Adamski : Anyone ever play a game with two DMs at the same time? Did it work well? Some DMs are good at evoking immersive worlds. Others are better with game rules. Thoughts? #TTRPG #OSR #D&D #BECMI Original Feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...

An interesting question came up on another platform: How many people incorporated mass combat into their games, using War Machine or Battle system rules? Share your experiences. Thanks #TTRPG #OSR #DnD #D&D #BECMI #Battlesystem #WarMachine #MassCombat Original Feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...
