#nsr — Public Fediverse posts

This morning I read @yochaigal's description of how he does play-by-post role-playing. Lots of useful and practical stuff in here:

Seems early, but I am feeling sleepy.

I changed all 4 wheels on the van, one tire was at wear marks, in the front & back. Likely the oldest ones rotated.
Swapped them, removed a seized rim on another car, found brake line break on my wife's car, and put away my tools.
My neighbour's brakes are next
(he keeps saying *tomorrow*)

🎵 Just A Song Before I go 🎵 to whom it may concern 🎶
Traveling twice the speed of sound, 🎶 it's easy to get burned

Gives you a lot of ways for the players to make meaningful exploration decisions:

* Sound of dripping in one direction
* Old broken pipes - follow them downhill
* Creatures in the dungeon need water so track them to their lair.
* ...but undead do not, so avoid them (but they might guard more treasure...)
* ...and amphibious creatures (e.g. huge frog) must have lots somewhere, if you dare go near them.
* Wells lead you to water, but also much deeper in

Enjoyed reading this post about B4: The Lost City: https://forlornencystment.blogspot.com/2026/07/lost-in-desert-does-dungeon-module-b4s.html.

He points out the hook of arriving after running out of water in the desert is undermined by the module giving you unlimited water pretty quickly. However he admits he finds the "water provisioning aspect of D&D to be only somewhat engaging" and goes on to other matters.

A dungeon where water is more important than gold - at least for several days of adventuring - seems really fun to me.

Someone said that “if you can run Keep on the Borderlands with it, it’s OSR”.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true. I of course immediately tried to think of the most story game way to run B2. My first thought is reverse B2 using No Country for Old Kobolds.

What’s the most indie way you would run the classic Keep on the Borderlands?

Today after a long discussion on the NSR discord we came to the conclusion that there are indeed two different THAC0s.

AD&D 1e people used THAC0 as an informal shorthand for the attack matrix chart, but you had to remember the six repeated 20s for particularly low ACs. But it is not defined in the AD&D rules.

AD&D 2e officially adds THAC0 to the rules, eliminating the repeating 20s, but says a nat 20 always hits.

But I say why, why deny the 🎵 Obvious Child 🎵
