I just ran a one shot of Mothership (DriveThru - Itch), the sci-fi horror game. For the game I used Desert Moon of Karth (DriveThru - Itch), the Mothership setting by Joel Hines. It's a lovely little setting. Karth is a barren little moon, only accessible by orbital elevator. The metaplot revolves around a gold … Continue reading Desert Moon of Karth: A custom character sheet for a Mothership setting

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
Last year I joined a itch game jam called the Pleasure-Not-Business Card Game Jam, where participants created a RPG game or supplement that would fit on a business card.

It's designed … Continue reading Character sheet for Planck, a business card RPG
Just finished up a one-shot of Riverbend (Itch | Exalted Funeral), a fantasy fishing RPG from Gustavo Tertoleone and Victor Amorim. It's a charming, rules-light little fantasy setting. Highly recommended. Players are "Villagers", who travel down a river basin, exploring, battling abominations, and most importantly - fishing.

It's designed to run adventures in a Conan-style Sword & Sorcery world. It … Continue reading Barbaric! a custom character sheet for a sword & sorcery RPG

Characters have three stats: Strength, Dexterity, and Control. Players roll a D20, and try to get equal to or below their stat to succeed at tasks. In combat, there … Continue reading Liminal Horror: A fillable, custom character sheet for the Horror RPG
There's an OSR adventure called The Doom That Came to Chapman Farm. It's by Mark Hess and it's specifically designed for the Lamentations of the Flame Princess RPG.
