I run a local RPG meetup group. Every Thursday we run a one-shot RPG game. Very often, it's a game none of us have ever played before. The idea being that we can try all sorts of different RPGs, experience different styles and genres, and I no longer feel like I've wasted money buying all … Continue reading Every RPG I played or ran in 2022

There's been a … Continue reading Khonshu Alpha – a sci-fi megadunegon project.

Nuked! – Character sheets for the post-apocalyptic Knave hack.

December 11, 2022 ~ ng76 ~ 3 Comments

I've been preparing for a one-shot of Nuked! (Itch), a little post-apocalypse RPG that uses the Knave (DTRPG | Itch) ruleset. It's fairly simple OSR style game, where you try to roll low on a d20 and get below your stats. It didn't include a character sheet PDF, so I've taken the character sheet from … Continue reading Nuked! – Character sheets for the post-apocalyptic Knave hack.

The Seer of Mendacium: A one-page OSR dungeon

December 6, 2022 ~ ng76 ~ Leave a comment

Over on Mastodon, there's a little project called #mastodungeon, where people throw together a quick one-page dungeon and post it. It's still going on, so I threw together a entry of my own. I used Dungeon Scrawl for the map, and Affinity for everything else. I thought I'd post a image and PDF version here. … Continue reading The Seer of Mendacium: A one-page OSR dungeon
