So, lets talk about optimized stat blocks for monsters. Some of this is about system, high crunch need big blocks, and, honestly, that's not my interest here. But for lighter games, lets say roughly B/X light or thereabouts, how do people best like to present and use monster stat blocks? My...

So the PDF for Charles Ferguson-Avery's mega dungeon Ave Nox just dropped and I'm excited to run it. I'm going to run it live over Discord/whiteboard using the Shadowdark rules and set in the Thousand Sultanates from Troika's Acid Death Fantasy supplement. So it'll be slightly gonzo science...

I've just finished a beta version of some free form OSR magic rules for Stara Szkola and I want to playtest them some. I'm working up a one shot scenario now and I'd like to run it several times to see how both Stara Szkola rules and my new magic rules function in the wild. Ideally this will be...

I've gotten as far as a possibly useful beta in my quest for free form OSR spellcasting. This is done specifically for Stara Szkola and uses the d20 die pool system from there, but I think it could be used in most OSR games with minimal faffing. I'd love any feedback anyone has about it.

So I'm working up a set of journey and exploration rules for Shadowdark. I'd love to send a copy to anyone who's actually playing the game if they'd be willing to give them a test spin and tell me what they think. I'm probably half done at the time of this post and I'd also be willing to chat...

I need someone with better math chops that me to double check something for me. Mothership uses advantage as roll an additional set of % dice and choose the best pair. So that's two sets of d% in a roll under environment with targets between 1 and 100. My back of napkin math for that system...

So as part of a little project I'm working on I'm thinking about magic somewhat differently than the OSR standard (so old school D&D, evocation etc). I'd like to see if I can set a range of statements that show the intent of the magic, or what it is designed/capable of. This is in service of a...

Now that we have an in-house Zine, issues concerning licenses and whatnot are all of a sudden more pressing. I thought it might be helpful to compile a list of systems and licenses, especially those that are CC rather than OGL/ORC or some other 3PL to help us all navigate the murky waters of...

It is the Moot the 4th, in the first week of Symswald, the 4th month of the year. It has been a bitter winter but things are finally starting to warm up and the town and countryside are alive with the tinkle of snowmelt. Prigwort is emerging from its winter slumber and there is a sense of...

Just taking a temperature check for interest here. Once my other PbP is up and running (so January sometime) I'm thinking of running a Bookhounds campaign PbP here on the Pub. Bookhounds is a Trail of Cthulhu variant that focuses more specifically on Mythos books, their aqcuisition, and the...
