Releasing FMC in 3 Days!

-

Releasing an "alpha" version of Fantastic Medieval Campaigns this Friday (11/11) on my Itch! FMC is my free retroclone of the original 1974 manual for fantasy campaigns, in four chapters:

  • Chapter I, Mortals & Magic: Explains how to generate fantastic characters, fight terrible monsters, and cast magical spells.
  • Chapter II, Monsters & Treasures: Lists different kinds of monsters and the treasures they guard from characters that encounter them.
  • Chapter III, Fantasy Adventures: Procedures for a vast campaign that will see adventurers delve into the Underworld and conquer the Wilderness.
  • Appendix A, Chain of Command: The default wargaming system for medieval battles on a mass or individual scale.
  • Appendix B, Indices: Compiled indices for monsters, tables, and spells to help cross-reference different sections of the book.

Please keep an eye also on my Twitter, where I will post more screenshots and actually announce when the thing has actually released. Thank all y'all so much for your continued interest and encouragement, and I hope y'all enjoy this early look! It isn't edited yet and is missing some art, but I hope it's still useful as a reference and pleasant to read.

Below are screenshots, mostly from the black & white version since it's hard for me to take screenshots while my computer is broken (RIP). On that note, since I can't respond to comments on here for that same reason, please reach out to me on Twitter if you have any questions! :) The artists featured below are HODAG RPG, Emiel Boven, Skullboy, and Gus L. who also drew the cover.

    Yet another interpretation of OD&D to add to my pile? SIGN ME UP! I am looking forward to this!

    Also, I respect that you even included the utterly useless castle building diagram from OD&D, but with better art! A nice touch indeed!

D&D Fifth Edition: Death & Rebirth

Hashtag OSRisOverParty, Hashtag RIPBozo, etc etc. The initial… “edition” of Dungeons & Dragons, Fifth Edition tried to present itself as a reactionary return to some ideal past paradigm of D&D —be it Third Edition to win back territory lost prior to Paizo’s Pathfinder , or an even older Gygaxian edition to get in the pants of the sort-of nascent OSR. Practically, this resulted in a final product that was like a simple Third Edition with dogwhistle-like nods to OSR conventions (since the play-style’s influence in the end was tenuous at best and mostly abandoned after the public test phase). It’s maybe more succinctly described as a people-pleasing game, with the caveat that people-pleasers don’t please anyone. So, how did it become popular? And how does the new 2024 not-edition reflect major differences between then and now, in terms of how D&D is perceived and played? This is my ramble. Sent from iPhone. Fifth Edition: Born in 2014 Of course, nobody plays D&D as ...

OSR Rules Families

So, here’s the thing: originally I wrote this like a fucking research article with a hypothesis, a methodology, and all that stuff. I’m not even a scientific research person. That’s my partner’s job. Not mine. So, instead of walking you through every single step I took, I’m going to take the journalistic approach and start with the big picture before I zoom into it and tell you about the little details. I read, reviewed, and statistically organized 38 different rulebooks considered to be OSR or OSR-adjacent. These include four rulebooks from TSR-era Dungeons & Dragons , as well as ten rulebooks from the 2000s and 2010s. The remaining 24 rulebooks postdate the closure of G+ in early 2019. Please refer to the bibliography at the bottom of this post for more information. After having collected and organized a dataset with ~90 variables, I found the statistical similarity between each pair of rulebooks based on that data. Finally, I ran an algorithm to determine clusters of these bo...

Bite-Sized Dungeons

Workbook Now Available On Itch! Bite-Sized Dungeons by Traverse Fantasy Edit: This whole time, I said that a first level dungeon hoard had 100 times d6 gold pieces when it actually has just 10 times d6. This means the average hoard has an XP value of 70 without gems, or ~110 with gems. By extension, the eighteen-room dungeon only has 350 XP without gems, or ~550 XP with gems. That is downright dismal and I don’t think works out with modern play sessions and party counts, so let’s pretend it said 100 times d6 anyway. I just read an article by Yora of Spriggan’s Den about extrapolating a scheme for an eighteen-room dungeon from the procedural generation rules in B/X (1981) [1]. As Yora points out, eighteen rooms is a great size for a mid-to-large dungeon or for a floor of a multi-level dungeon, and the checklist of rooms makes it easy to make sure that the final product has a variety of interesting play interactions. But, being as large as it is, it can still be a tall order on the ...
