Pulp Hummock Press is preparing the crowdfunding for their next project after „Gods of the Forbidden North“, it’s a Sword & Sorcery OSE Level 1-14 sandbox called „The Overlords of Steel“. It’s all about Warlords and hordes and Empires, but really, they had me with the Sea-Kings of Wargoth (yes, really, Wargoth) and this picture. 😆

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?

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!

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.

NEW VIDEO: 20 Table Rules I’ve Used to Keep My D&D Games Fun
I'm sharing twenty table rules my D&D groups have used over the years. Some we still use today and others are table rules we tried but no longer use.

I've played a lot of 5e D&D. I've played even more old-school editions. Which is better?
HINT: That's the wrong question to ask.

NEW VIDEO: Comparing 5e and OSR D&D
The old-school rennaissance (OSR) reminds people that what's currently on the bookshelves these days isn't the only option for playing D&D. But is there a clear and objective winner when comparing old versus new?
