Join us as we take a break from our work at Claricon and reflect on the recent game run by Daniel. We'll discuss the highlights, lessons learned, and our plans for future games. Plus, we'll share our favorite coffee spot in town!

Yesterday I found a copy of Poul Anderson's "Three Hearts and Three Lions," which I had never read. I was immediately struck by the setup: a landscape torn between our world and faerie with a borderland between them.

Last week, I ran a one-shot live-play stream featuring one of the dungeons from The Dungeon Key's "Kavlov's Sanctuary" adventure, highlighting the conversion from Mork Borg to Necrotic Gnome's Old School Essentials.

I’ve been thinking about the classic experience points for gold system of ye olde fantasy TTPRG. I’ve always struggled with how the party fences all their non-coin loot: who’s buying this stuff? I may have stumbled upon an answer.

I posted the current draft of my Do Anything D6 Hexpert rules draft for patrons on Patreon.com.

I am really happy to share this announcement: I’m working with The Dungeon Key to convert their Mork Borg adventure, “Kavlov’s Sanctuary,” to Necrotic Gnome’s Old School Essentials system. The conversion will be hitting Kickstarter in August.

In advance of next month’s launch of the official Kickstarter campaign, Necrotic Gnome released a massive preview book of the game. I spent almost three hours reading through the book on stream. If you want to know what’s inside but don’t feel like reading, allow me to chaperone you through… Dolmenwood!

Part of the charm (torture?) of old school D&D is gleaning at hints of play that appear in various nooks and crannies of rulebooks, supplements, and adventures. Here's one that I randomly ran into while reading module X1, "The Isle of Dread".

We continue our journey through Deepfall Breach, attempting to solve the puzzle in the Claustrophobic Crawlspace and deal with the collapsed cave in the Cramped Chamber.

On this episode of Toolkit Tuesday, we created an (un)holy symbol and powerful artifact, called the Left Hand Key! It's intelligent, with the power to animate dead, and the singular purpose of spreading undeath and blighting the living!

We worked on a set of mechanics and tables for exploring the interior of a terrain hex while answering and questions and generally chatting about tools, streaming live plays, keying hexes, and other topics!

We discuss the various ways to advance in the game beyond strongholds, including paying taxes and renting mansions. We also share tips on creating dynamic encounters, settling up in town to gain XP, and the importance of engaging with the environment in combat.
