When we skip too many sessions because of kids, holidays and what not I’m feeling the groove dissipating, and the campaign slowly grinding to a halt. The party’s over. Here’s to hoping for a recovery after my holidays!
Nice blog post about character levels in the #OSR. In my games we also have lots of retainers, the party often has up to 20 characters, and almost all new characters are level 1.

@host I was trying to read the Code of Conduct again and went to https://tabletop.social/about/more and tried to follow the link but it just linked back to the same page? Something went wrong somewhere...
I cannot think of a better collectively edited collection of #OSR #adnd1e et al #rpg gems than @kensanata 's Link to Wisdom and I think it needs to be posted about occasionally:

All of these articles are hand picked and dealing with the older editions of the game by the OSR bloggers that love it.
I frequently come back to this site for inspiration. I also drop off great posts, well written, from my blogroll/rss reader.
Elysium Flare is finally out the door! Thank you everyone for your support and your re-shares and your enthusiasm and your help. You are all wonderful.
On Tuesday we had one of those free form D&D nights where we basically just rolled two or three reaction rolls over the entire three hour slot. Previously, I had noticed such sessions level 6+ games but this session we had the first characters reach level two at the beginning of the session. https://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2014-08-21_No_Dice
Having a day off in spring when it’s raining outside ought to be perfect for prep: work on the setting, add adventure seeds, hooks, maps, all of that. But the rain sucks all day he energy out of me. 😖
I do the OAuth thing (which worked for Amaroq, after all) but Mastodon Archive then aborts saying "unauthorized: invalid grant".
Sadly, my Mastodon Archive tool doesn't seem to work for tabletop.social. I wonder why.
Game got cancelled tonight. I have seven players and only two can make it. That is not enough.
#introduction I used to run a regular indies game night and that gave me an appreciation for all the wonderful indie games out there. My favorites would be Lady Blackbird, Mountain Witch and In A Wicked Age.
Ask me anything, I guess? 😀
#introduction I run my own games (three long running campaigns) using some houserules called Halberds & Helmets based on B/X D&D and Labyrinth Lord. I love #maps and I write software. The most important one for gamers is probably campaignwiki.org and all the apps, there. https://campaignwiki.org/wiki/Apps

I have two other accounts with the same name, on dice.camp (rpg) and on octodon.social (everything else). The reason I’m looking for a tabletop instance other than dice.camp is because want to meet more players and referees and talk about running games instead of designing and writing games.
