Re: Play-by-post still available?

I've been running Play by post games on discord for the last 3 years using BFRPG. It's been fairly successful but player retention is always and issue. I've been finding that one shots are usually the best way to run games. I've been lucky to have a current crew up for chaining one shots together fo...

Re: Preparing for my first session as GM

More questions: what is the most useful information to have on hand as a beginning GM? What aids/reference document is best? (I've downloaded the 4-panel GM Screen by Scott Abraham and the Game Charts and Tables by Simone Felli. The latter document is 20 pages long and seems like too much for quick...

Re: Name of the Game

So "Basic Fantasy2: Electric Boogaloo" is definitely out? (and I was so hoping) Unless you get 1 million likes on a you-tube video of you, personally performing the Electric Boogaloo I think Solo will remain unmoved (don't look at me that way, it's worth a try!) Time to make 1 million you...

Re: What are the Best Adventure Anthology adventure in your opinion?

I'm looking to play a one shot adventure with my friends. I don't want to run a big adventure so I figured books with small adventures will probably have what we need. If you are planning to start at level one then in my opinion Bear Dungeon from AA2 is hands down my favorite and plays pretty quick...

I need a new logo and slogan. Each edition had its own:

1E: "make mine BASIC"
2E: "Adventure Lurks Within"
3E: "The Old School is Now In Session"

Re: Looking for a 1-shot dungeon for OSR beginners

Even though they are intended for solo play, Johndice's tiny solo pamphlets like The Whispering Church makes for a great starter dungeon and adventure.
