What is a supported OSR game?

[DarkCrisis]

Have you looked at the Cursed Scrolls for Shadowdark? They have hex crawls and I remember at least one dungeon with 20+ rooms. Labyrinth of the Minotaur or what is called that came with the free rules is also bigger. There are also good 3rd party ones for Shadowdark. Or I just run adventures from some other OSR game, most of them are easy to convert. Just use SD monsters instead, divide gold treasure by 10. Saving throws must be improvised based on circumstances, but that comes easy to me.

I think it would be easier to just use whatever adventures main system for xp (averaged out).

Like if playing a D&D 2E adventure just use the Fighters XP chart and monster HD for xp.

I put in work trying to convert one to Shadowdark and the money conversion to SD's xp system was just bewildering at times.

SDs only flaw is it's xp system which IMO doesn't make it very compatible with more normal xp system games.

Honestly, the best time to be a 1E player in history is right now.

Especially if you played it originally!

Because that means you're still alive.

Kelsey definitely needs to put in a guideline somewhere for how to deal with TSR-era treasure explosions. (Chop the gold values of TSR treasure hoards way, way back. I've seen people say 90% cuts work.)

Remember to switch to low-salt chips at the gaming table.

While I appreciate what she does put out, I expected more official products. Like a full on Undermountain dungeon crawl book or some adventure modules. Not just one page 5 room dungeons.

Her latest Kickstarter post, posted Thursday, said that March's Kickstarter campaign will fund three more Cursed Scroll issues and (news to me) three more books that combine all six Cursed Scrolls into a region known as The Western Reaches.

One of the books will be a Player's Guide to the Western Reaches, which will include all the classes throughout Cursed Scrolls 1-6 combined into one. Classes will be reorganized alongside their specific spells sorted by tier. There's also player-facing information about the region, and a variety of other new things in the book.

The other book will be the GM's Guide to the Western Reaches, which is pretty much all new material. The third is still a bit of a secret, but will be entirely new material.

The Player's Guide is also where some new ancestries will see print for the first time, including the kobold and half-elf, since they doesn't really have a home in any other print material so far!

She keeps talking about doing a megadungeon, so maybe that's the mystery third book or maybe that's a 2026 project.

If you only play adventures of that system I might agree. But for example I run a shadowdark sandbox game and pull adventures from all over the OSR place, so I cant change the xp system with each adventure. Also I like the simple xp system of shadowdark. Dividing by 10 worked for me very good so far - what are the problems you discovered?

Not just one page 5 room dungeons.

Again there are already bigger adventures in the Cursed Scroll zines. And I think more is coming the system is relatively young and she has not a full team (as far as I know). But I don't think we can expect megadungeons from her, that doesnt seem to be her adventuring style in general.

edit: I just saw @Whizbang Dustyboots post, so we might getting a megadungeon anyway! Exciting news
