Introduce Yourself!

Hello! I’m John Erwin, system-hopping DIY RPG enthusiast, which is a lot of words to say I read and hack games from all over. I’m a fan of NSR stuff, and have made small games and rpg supplements in the similar vein (here’s my itch).

I’ve been viewing this forum/boards since 2022 actually, but I just realized I didn’t have an account. So now I’m fixing that.

Hi! I am Cassidy. I am newish to ttrpgs, and I am still learning my likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Currently I’ve been enjoying the Carved from Brindlewood family of games as well as a game called Broken Tales.

Hello all, I’m gyakusetsu and I love roleplaying games, be they live action, parlor, campfire, or tabletop.

I’m working on a card-based post-apocalyptic science-fantasy game. My design challenges include making it both portable with role/character cards & a standard deck AND complex enough to scratch players’ desire to fiddle with options and choices.

I’ve never heard of Broken Tales. What’s it’s concept and why does it draw you?

Hey! I’m Daniel!
I’m a hobby enthusiast from Oslo, Norway who recently leapt into becoming a full-time “illustrator”. I’ve been playing roleplaying games for most of my 33 years on this earth but just recently took the leap into the OSR after playing a bunch of Mörk Borg.
And after spending much of my life doing “music stuff”, the DIY ethos of the indie RPG inspired me to start releasing my stuff.

I have a far overdue Mörk Borg adventure coming out on EF …at some point in the near future.
I’ve also just released a revised edition of my entry to the knave 2e adventure jam.

I’m always open for extremely opinionated RPG theory/philosophy discussions and do art comissions for a living, allthough i’m pretty new at it.

I also run games. Many, many games.

Excited to be here!

Hello from Kentucky. I’m Nathan. Kind of played Mentzer DnD in the early 90’s, then started playing 5E during the You Know What in 2020. While looking for info for my monk I stumbled upon Goblin Punch and that resulted in a freefall down the rabbit hole that is RPG blogs, OSR, NSR, etc., etc.

Still playing 5E, as my attempt at running a mostly-Black-Sword-Hack game for my friends fizzled out. I’m hoping to start a Cairn game with some family in the New Year.

Hello, I’m Zach! I’ve been a passive rpg enjoyer for several years, mostly running the odd one-shot for friends/family. I’m trying to get myself more active in the community and am excited to be starting my first long-term in-person game in January (I’m running Stonehell). Looking forward to discussions and reading peoples great advice.

Hi all, I am Fritz! Very happy to have found this place! I occasionally run games on a few discords for the community, make stuff for Cairn on itch.io and run a little blog reviewing modules I have run for different systems as well as other ramblings. Currently working on a post-disaster urban crawl megadungeon situation for Cairn!
