Time for another #introduction :

So hi everyone, I've been posting #rpg related stuff over on dice.camp and on reddit for quite a while now, decided to move here with a brandnew handle, yay.

I'm GMing a face to face campaign of original #dnd in #hamburg (germany) for almost three years now, interested in all things #osr , but there's also quite a bit of #fate and #gurps on my bookshelf 😉

First Session of the "Octagon Campaign" went well:

eye opening #gming advice on happy jacks rpg podcast:

"what are the three moments in the game, that you can visualize in your head, the three things you want to see happen? Write those down, steer to that, and whenever you wonder what's gonna happen, go back to your three points".

Afficionados of Dungeon Crawl Classics! while I enjoy Appendix N literature and the tropes of dungeon crawling, I always get the impression that #dcc is just a tad too much tongue in cheek for my taste. The adventures I've come across all seem to assume a certain baseline gonzoness.

Am I mistaken? Or are there any "serious" adventures you could recommend? Or maybe you've played a serious campaign with DCC as the rules set? How about horror in DCC?

What's a generic way to construct equipment lists and currency systems for #ttrpg s?

For those of you who do their own equipment lists, currencies, price lists for their homebrew settings, where do you start? Some kind of boilerplate you'd recommend?

Today I stumbled over this blog post from 2016. Tim Kask mentioning, among other interesting things, opposed die rolls:

"they rolled a d20, the DM rolled a d20 and the DM made a ruling"
