Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to TSR-era D&D, derived systems, and compatible content.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons as played in the game's first decade — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching meta-plots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started.>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

In this thread we won't have any shit-flinging or baby-tier retorts.

RC > B/X.For one, it has actual wilderness survival rules.
>>96704041>Have you ever gotten a friend into OSR games?Got my old group back together to play Dolmenwood. One dropped early on for scheduling reasons, one dropped after about a year when his second character died and one is still playing coming up two years, it's been fun. The real prize will be the other DM I'm friends with but I give that a proper go till his current 5e game has run it's course. >If so, which one?How am I meant to answer that? You don't know any of my friends.
>>96705781Just tell him if it's John.
>>96705639>it has actual wilderness survival rulesNo, it doesn't. What it has is proficiencies, and those don't make the game any better.
>>96705781Which game, ya doofus.
>>96705924It's not John.>>96706029Dolmenwood, ya doofus.
I recently rediscovered hackmaster 4e. I wish there were more warstories online about accredited play. Does anyone have any hackmaster stories to tell?
>>96707102Off topic.
>>96705639Fuck no lmao. Are you both retarded and ignorant?
>>96706029Can you not fucking read, retard?
>>96707278
>>96707497Looks like we're having two different conversations here
I really wish I could get into an OSR game but I live in Vietnam. I don't even know anyone who plays tabletop.
>>96704448>>Literally tells you what to look for and where to find it.Except you literally did not you fucking lying retard. You said "it's in dragon magazine somewhere!". Now produce the issue number or go kill yourself
>>96707592Play online. If you can stomach Discord, there's plenty of choice of communities offering open table nights one or more nights a week.
>>96707592And you obviously have access to the internet, so fucking do something about it instead of complaining into the void.
>>96707614>If you can stomach DiscordI've never even touched it. I'm kinda old.>>96707617Is online play actually fun? Seems awkward and gay but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.
>>96707757I'm kinda old as well. Online play isn't as good as IRL play. And playing with strangers isn't as good as playing with friends. And Discord sucks.But maybe not playing sucks more? This is up to you to decide.Another option is playing solo.
