Glad to see this community. I left Reddit some time ago already, long before the blackout, but didn't realise there was a federated alternative until now. Curious to see how/if this can supplement my Mastodon usage.
I know that you can follow this community on Mastodon, I think the “user” is @osr@lemm.ee.
I am very interested to see how all this evolves. I also know that it’s going to be messy for awhile as everything is new and being cobbled together as we go.
Saw your post on YouTube! Shocked to be the first to arrive, but if you build it they will come, eh? Looking forward to the community growing
Let’s hope! 😁
I’m based in Nevada and I play OSE once a week. I have a collection of various TTRPGs.
Nice! B/X is the edition closest to my heart! Are you playing in the Dolmenwood setting or elsewhere?
The DM put together a custom setting that I suspect is based on the local geography of the surrounding 100 miles combined with ChatGPT enhanced lore. Dolmenwood gets a lot of praise, what makes it so great?
Re Dolmenwood, I think people like the off-kilter faerie tale vibe. The material is also very well laid out and designed.
Awesome! How are you liking OSE?
I got in Hey there Todd
Glad you made it! 👏
I'm so glad to see this community exists! I had pretty much resigned myself to waiting a long time before a new OSR forum would take shape after leaving Reddit, but looks like that won't be necessary. Thank you for creating this!
Awesome! Thank you for the initiative. I look forward to the community that will build here.
Hopefully faster than my ongoing attempt to build a forum community from scratch! 🤣
Hi, my name is Kit and I live in Kansas City. I love OSR games and am actually writing one as well. I love just about everything from New Big Dragon, and I love to read old blogs like Planet Algol, From the Sorcerer's Skull, False Machine, Zenopus Archives, etc. Just a quick intro to get started!
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you! There’s so much content out there in blogs new and old— it’s really a glut of riches!
Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.
My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:
