Lately I've been pretty obsessed with Into the Odd  by Chris McDowall .

It's Friday and I've had a long and hard week at work. About halfway through a hastily constructed Manhattan , I thought, "What better time to write a poorly conceived post on my blog!" Having just joined MeWe  as part of the crazy Google+ Exodus , I was clicking around and saw some replies to this post . Below is my sad little attempt. 1. One article or blog entry that exemplifies the best of the Old School Renaissance for me: Quick Primer for Old School Gaming  (not an original answer but it sums a lot of stuff up for me) 2. My favorite piece of OSR wisdom/advice/snark: From Moldvay Basic "While it is not possible to cover everything that might happen in a game, the ideas here give a solid framework to build on." Just enough rules to get you going. That's my jam. 3. Best OSR module/supplement: Sailors on the Starless Sea 4. My favorite house rule (by someone else): I really love Shields Shall Be Splintered 5. How I found out about the OSR...

I've written a short adventure for Umerican Survival Guide! A brief summary and a link to the pdf is below...

Something dawned on my recently.  When my players find a weapon, I'd like to be able to give them a better description than "you find a sword."

Your PCs have begun their march down the King's Road.  They're headed for certain doom and they are well-aware that not all of them will return.  Why not dial up the tension a bit with the addition of a dread omen or two?

The fantasy rpg genre is rife with potions - they are often a blase affair with a simple effect (and a description of their color as an afterthought).  In today's workshop, I try to make things a bit more interesting.

Here I will be posting ideas, adventures, monsters, maps, and anything related to Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and the OSR in general.  This is my first post so it's mostly just a test.
