Old School Revival - Classic Rules Table Top Role-playing and the OSR Hobby

Rules- The community is to tiny, we can be really rules light at this point.

  1. Don't be a jerk.

  2. Everyone is welcome.

  3. Try to stay kind of on topic.

New to OSR?

Here are three widely tested systems which offer free PDF rulebooks.

Basic Fantasy Created to be compatible with 3/3.5e, this is fully fleshed out OSE goodness written to be more approachable. Uses ascending armor class. Print options are sold at near cost and are very very inexpensive.

Old School Essentials Basic OSE is the most popular reproduction of the original B/X set. Uses descending armor class. With several different iterations at several different prices, this PDF is free and covers the basics. Enough to get a game going.

White Box : Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game A spiritual successor to Swords & Sorcery White Box. This is the complete OSR experience. Uses descending armor class, but contains alternate status for ascending. Like Basic Fantasy, the print version is under five bucks on amazon.

I've never played any ttrpg online before and I'm wondering how to set it up. It's not the tech I dont get, it's the people. It seems the scene for online OSR play is pretty dead.

How to I join or start a solid online group?

There are lots of discord servers with people running and playing games. Check to see if a game you like has a discord server and look for a way to run or get a seat at a game.

Also, depending on what you are into I can invite you to my friend’s server where we run a bunch of OSR games. I believe a Mausritter game is starting up soon and we have different games running almost every day of the week.

I'd love an invite to your friends server. I appreciate the advice. While I mostly enjoy swords and wizardry I am open to trying other games.
