Today, I had a big creative drive: I've created a small "parallel universes" setting on my blog. System agnostic, up to now. 19 alternate realities placed on a D20. Hope you like it ! [Setting] Europol X - Setting overview

This Pic is amazing. Would have needed it for my 2nd scenario I ever DMed. 25 years ago 🤣

The fifth instalment in my "real places in RPG"-post series is finally there. This time we jump into the cold waters of scotland and marine folklore https://osrdread.blogspot.com/2020/08/osr-real-places-in-rpg-5-fingals-cave.html

I really need to make something out of "your" Russian death valley (y)

What do you mean by CO (carbone monoxyde?) If you have cool pictures, post them here, maybe i'll integrate them in my musings ;) Anyway, thanks for your interest @Zardnaar

I continue presenting Real Places and twist what these would mean in a fantasy RPG contest. This architectural piece brought me to muse about fire-fighting in a fantasy setting (and why fire-spells, i.e. fireballs need to be banned out of cities)...

I recently joined a facebook group named “RPG Worldbuilders Visual Inspiration and Prompts”. What I’ve seen there triggered again my lust for writing. So I started a new series of posts, based on real places in our world, and what would they mean in an OSR dungeonverse...

Today, i'll play something unique for you all: a re-play. I've botched the recordings of my 3 first sessions, so i'll play them again, so that people that missed the live Ironsworn stageplays may understand in the future, what i'm theatrically playing 😇

And today is the second broadcast !

Dear gamers, I decided to go with the flow of the pandemy and organise an online show, directly from my home office... It's an experimental format: I'll be playing solo, i'll be playing a roleplaying-game called Ironsworn (it involves dice, yes), but it will be improv' since i'll be playing...

I've started reviewing the modules from adventure I. so far i've done: https://osrdread.blogspot.com/2019/10/module-review-against-barrow-king.html https://osrdread.blogspot.com/2019/10/module-review-jerimonds-orb.html https://osrdread.blogspot.com/2019/10/module-review-dead-mans-cove.html

I actually intend to use the full Rage of CRs also with my E9 campaign... Some unique monster will stay out of reach of a party of adventurers, sure, but that's why you should recruit henchmen, or better yet, build up fiefdoms and raise armies...

As i said on my blog (DREAD's rules: Level Cap at lvl 8): My practical observation is that at higher levels (10+), the outcome of encounters seems to become much more random, since saves then become so much more important and decisive. If you fail your first save in the first round of combat...

On my side I want to test two things in my new campaign: Gold-expense as XP Alchemy as a way to circumvent the level cap I've placed on the campaign (questing for ingredients, like described here: THERE IS NO XP! TAKE MONSTER DRUGS INSTEAD!) And then I had to think about this level cap. I...
