Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.

My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:

I thought it might be nice to set up a thread in which we can recommend game systems to one another. What do you like? Why? Give us a quick blurb about a game you like and why you think others might like it. Maybe call out if you think it would be good for absolute beginners or folks new to the OSR/NSR. Oh and the genre too. If this gains some steam, I’ll pin it to the sidebar for easy access.

Well obviously Lavender Hack? Lolz!

The game of Words has finally been updated Conrad's Fantasy Next Millennium is a very different way to game. You do all the same olde things with maybe a dash more team orientation. Killing the enemy is with the words on the character sheet. Any two words put into play will kill a mortal. Most things you meet are not mortals. Great Trolls, Demon Spawns, Undead Knights are just a few of the things you have to overcome. You have to make them mortal first to kill them. This can take several rounds. About the leveling system - All I can say is you will never play another game with a leveling system like this :) ***This game comes highly recomended if you hate boring spell list!

I already posted a video about Black Sword Hack - Rich in game world for the GM to easily start a campaign.

I believe I already hawked Empire of the Petal Throne on here too? If not Tekemel the most hated and feared game world is not gone and certainly not forgotten. Grab your Shen and come join in the fun.
