Need somewhere to chat up OSR and NSR style TTRPGs during the Reddit blackout and, dare I say it, beyond? Let this be your home, either temporary or, perhaps, permanently. Be good and generous to each other and game on!

    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

    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.

    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!

      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!
