Looks awesome though! Who drew that?
A bit of both, I suspect. It's an illustration by Nils Gulliksson, a quite prominent artist in the Swedish RPG scene back in the 80's. The picture depicts a hermit from the 1985 sandbox adventure "The Dead Forest". More recently Nils has been doing illustrations for a game known as Forbidden Lands.

Forbidden Lands is pretty awesome! It resparked my interest in Old School D&D which led me here. Also like Coriolis for my "Space D&D" fix, Tales From the Loop for my "80s kids on bikes" fix, all by Free League also...they seem to be putting out some great stuff.

Hello everyone,

Found BFRPG about a month or two ago and am finally getting to run a campaign with it! I have a mixed group of two players who are pretty new to table top games and two players who mainly played Pathfinder. I had to house rule some things to make the system a little more palatable to my PF players, but I am definitely loving running the game.

I was drawn to BFRPG as my first old school style game due to the open nature of it. I love FOSS software and strive to use it as much as possible. I currently am trying to put an adventure I ran into the Adventure format to post on the Workshop. I am not too much help mechanically, so I figured I can contribute adventures and campaign settings.

Hey all,

Long time gamer and occasional writer/mapmaker

Picked up BFRPG a few months ago on a recommendation. Hopefully I will find some good discussion here!

Thanks - Yeah, once I orientate myself I will be happy to contribute. One of my big questions is what are the differences between BFRPG and some of the other OSR games. Can anyone point me to an existing thread?
