🏰 Beyond Corny Groń brings OSR to the Karpaki Mountains! I had the pleasure of interviewing @coorac.bsky.social about his old-school sandbox, Polish folklore, and his adventure, Castle of the Veiled Queen. If you love emergent settings, you might want to check this out. Read the full interview here:

@odinsongames.bsky.social has just released their fist zine with amazing handdrawn illustrations on every page! Although I am not much into the grim-dark, this 24-page zine definitely worth a look! It’s the first of a 4-part series, setting and OSR game. open.substack.com/pub/odinsong...

Just saw this! Well, I do have a black Zombie Magic deck left … Wouldn’t that be a natural fit for Mörk Borg!? Now, I kind of wished I had kept most of my cards ... @limithron.bsky.social even used one of his Magic cards as an inspiration for a new adventure, recently. :) bit.ly/3QwAlP3

This one is quite interesting and thoughtful. Combining the setting of The Electrum Archive with UVG. Here's the link: www.fistfulofvalkyries.com/2025/02/redi... @ellievalkyrie.bsky.social where is Vaults of Vaarn? I imagine it in the wastes east of Orn.

Often, fully developed settings like #Dolmenwood impress me but sometimes sketched out or procedurally generated worlds can entice me, too. What's you favorite? The Electrum Archive by @emielboven.itch.io threads a nice middle ground, it seems. This is what the post below is about. #osr #nsr #ttrpg

Interesting thoughts! How is everyone advancing their characters? Exp for combat? Exp for gold? Scars? Boasts? Something else? #osr #nsr #ttrpg #advancement

Now that people are posting about @bentobitt.bsky.social's "Black Powder and Brimstone": How is it? Do you people like it? What's awesome about it? What sucks? Does it come with a good adventure? #mörkborg #osr #ttrpg #freeleague

We are were grateful to welcome our 100th subscriber only 8 days (!!) after the launch of our new #blog OSR Rocks! Thank you, everyone, and enjoy! Next post is due on Monday :) #osr #ttrpg #gamedesign #nsr open.substack.com/pub/golempro...

The OSR looks backwards with delight, the NSR looks forward with delight. Neither have to look the other way with disgust, but some cannot help themselves, which sucks. They are the two pillars of the modern hobby, and I love them both. Learn from the elders, nurture children.

Cool idea for #cloudempress !

I can absolutely see their point! I want to buy / back thoughtfully designed OSR books that I couldn't have created myself, not the next mini dungeon that I could have improvised on the fly. open.substack.com/pub/grinning...

Just backed this atmospheric OSR adventure! kck.st/4jOl0XJ I am currently reading the core book, Beyond Corny Groń, and it very impressing. What Dolmenwood and Cairn are for forests, this is for mountains and caverns! #osr #ttrpg #otherpaths #cornygroń #kickstarter #zinequest

When I ran it, I also had a murder hobo in my group ...

SOLARCRAWL, a system-neutral, OSR campaign of brave astronauts and planetary hexmaps is launching this coming week! I'm going to be shouting about that quite a lot, so bear with me. There's quite a cast of characters coming on board for stretch goals and more and more planets to visit as well!

It is more or less THE introductory OSR dungeon.

What an amazing idea. Sounds like a ton of fun!

Who made this beautiful map? Love it!

We are Golem Productions. And it really is about time we introduced ourselves properly. Last year’s #cabinfever #jam for #pirateborg by @limithron.bsky.social ignited a spark and we finally took the step to create OSR content ourselves. The article below tells our story #osr #nsr #ttrpg

OSR Rocks! - Guys, that’s our recent addition to the buzzing OSR blogosphere, a love-letter to the genre. Expect discussions about game design, deep dives into mechanics, reviews, creator shoutouts, and news about our own games. Check it out! open.substack.com/pub/golempro... #osr #ttrpg #blog #nsr

Same here. Will get the Print Bundle! <3

I just backed Tangled in Shrouds for Pirate Borg www.kickstarter.com/projects/epi...

@spacepenguinink.bsky.social Is the #Cairn 2e Boxed Set going to to get a retail edition, too, or did I mess up completely by not backingnot back then? #osr #ttrpg

Yokai Tales from the guys who made Castaway has been live for a few days. OSR criminal #investigations of ghost stories in #Edo #Japan. #mörkborg #osr #crowdfunding #ttrpg I didn't see any promotion, so I thought I'd highlight this, although I am not affiliated. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

Second this!

What makes a Naval Mastermind? (Pirate Borg pg. 110) (1/3) Naval combat in OSR RPGs. I'm not talking about mechanics, rules, or rulings. I'm asking what amazing tricks could a Naval Mastermind pull off to let their brilliance shine? #pirateborg #navalcombat #osr

Looks sick!

More content for #pirateborg always makes happy :)
