Hello all!

#1 Post by mettle »

Hey everyone! I am here to play / run OSR games and such. It seems like a good place for it.

I am particularly keen on, what to call it, the new wave of OSR games: Into the Odd, Maze Rats, the Black Hack (and the million hacks it has spawned). These days things like Mageblade (Black Hack Hack) and Arnold K's GLOG seem particularly interesting. Not that there's anything wrong with some Labyrinth Lord.

I think I cut my teeth playing an expanded / later modification of AD&D 2E, one with sub-stats of the main six stats. Read a bunch of Dragon magazine as a kid, only started playing/running games in the last few years. Started with Numenera, probably got into OSR things because of Goblinpunch and the Hill Cantons blogs.

Just curious, are there games with open enrollment here? Looks like this is one, from another introductory post.

Cheers!

Hey mettle!
Welcome, there are games with open enrollment and games that are looking for players. So you're in the right place if you want to play.
So be well and be welcome!

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Welcome!
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.
