Here is my latest post on X2 #CastleAmber. This is a solo playthrough and I am sharing updated character sheets. Last time, I made some mistakes and this post mostly corrects them. #oldschoolessentials, #BX, #DND, #OSE

New OSE module just dropped. Guess it's a little late for the April 1st deadline.

In my YouTube channel, I only review or mention products or game rules that I've played or at least own and read cover to cover. I've been a big fan of Old-Schoo Essentials for 2+ years, and recently got Shadowdark (and love it). I'm also a BECMI grognard who cut his teeth on the purple box Basic Set (Moldvay) and AD&D.
Should I get Dolmenwood and add that to the mix? Is it different enough to be worth the time/expense?

Oggi mi arriverà questa nuova edizione di Old School Essentials che ho ordinato assieme allo schermo del DM ed una avventura del grande Gavin Norman per tenermi finalmente aggiornato ad un regolamento più pulito ma anche per poter giocare a AD&D nel modo più accessibile possibile (non il regolamento, ma il layout più pulito con regole originali facoltative).
ALTRO CHE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS 5E 2024.

These days, I’d probably say #SwordsAndWizardry or #OldSchoolEssentials just for ease of use and adaptability, although I have a fondness for the #RulesCyclopedia too.
For more complexity, I’d say #OSRIC—I’m eagerly awaiting the new version being printed by Mythmere Games (and in landscape form too!)
But it has to have some weirdness to it, as you say!

Where I change some things and add others to X1 The Isle of Dread during the holiday doldrums. Hopefully useful to anybody planning on running this classic D&D adventure module.

Publisher Necrotic Gnome has recently announced that a major update is coming to the Old-School Essentials TTRPG in 2026. We take a look at what to expect. https://ttrpgfans.com/old-school-essentials-update/ #ose #oldschoolessentials #necroticgnome #osr #oldschoolrevival #ttrpg #TTRPGCommunity #RPG #RPGCommunity #rpggames

Why is it in #DndD style games that the characters with the highest INT and WIS are the ones that inevitably do the most stupid things?
The adventuring continued last night with the first combat for our group.
The 'smart wise' fighter decides to smash a flaming torch into a flask of oil they are holding. Not just burning themselves, but also the Magic User and my Elf, plus the ex-enemy I had just cast Charm Person on.
Everyone else, friends and enemies, just looked on in confusion.

I'm setting up an OD&D campaign for my kids and their friends. Since it's their first time playing D&D I'm leaving them complete freedom while making the characters, as long as they fit the rules. This has already yielded an uncharismatic elven muscle-mommy and a lawful thief with a battle axe. This is gonna be fun.

To clarify, it's not going to be 'DnD' I'll be playing if thing pan out, but the #OldSchoolEssentials #RPG . Which, in my ancient opinion, appears to be more DnD than official DnD.

Rule #5: "No Digital Rolls for Stats"
This is because multi-dice rolls (e.g. 3d6) produce a bell-curve probability, but if you use an app that generates a random number between 3-18, it has a linear probability.

I've started playing a #SoloRPG campaign in my homebrew world, using the #OldSchoolEssentials rules. Pretty much the first thing that happened when we arrived in the city was that my companion NPC managed to get herself arrested by the city guards after she got jumped by a bunch of thugs, because she rolled a nat 1 on her Reaction roll when the guards interrogated her. So now my PC is all alone in the big city. Was not expecting this.
