Rascal interviewed the editorial team behind Knock! about the OSR magazine's triumphant return with a new editor at the helm.

d10 dicepools my beloved

WAIT and some of them have newsletters (newspapers aka Trotskyist coded)

Everyone always assumes OSR is politically right wing coded but the fact that it’s constantly splinting into factions that most disagree on terminology is actually incredibly left wing coded

URBAN SHADOWS 🗣️🗣️

It honestly really fascinates me what things people prioritize when it comes to TTRPGs. I will talk about some indie ttrpg, and get a comment where people are like "I hate that game. It doesn't even have mechanics for ____!" Meanwhile, I read that and think "But...that's why I like it so much..."

No I’m not obsessed with Changeling: the Dreaming, why do you ask?

Everyone's talking about the 20th anniversary of Oblivion! I agree, 2018's 20th anniversary is the best edition of the Wraith: The Oblivion ttrpg. We're really proud of it and you should definitely all give it a look. Includes an appendix covering the Orpheus Group! theonyxpath.com/wraith-the-o...

Begging GMs to just tell your players information you clearly want them to know instead of rolling perception/insight/knowledge/whatever

Popped by The Science Fiction Bookstore in Gothenburg today, great selection of indie #TTRPG titles including We Deal in Lead and Runecairn!

There's an rpg design exercise I taught myself to do many years ago, and it's never failed me. How it works is, you take an rpg rule and sort out, in all its components, which are real and which are fictional. The nearest rpg book to me right now is Paul Czege's forthcoming Balsam Lake Unmurders.
