I’m Dave of Magnum Galaxy Games. I’ve been playing and writing mostly Mothership adventures for the last few years. I love forums and used to be a regular back in the G+ Days. Hoping to make this a hangout and take part in some awesome RPG conversations!

Hi all, I’m Josh – I’m from the UK, living in Europe, and have been DMing games like Stars/Worlds/Cities Without Number, Godbound, GURPS, Shadow of the Demon Lord, Honey Heist, Trails of Cthulu and a few OSR adjacent games of my own devising for some years now.
Here to try and find some community on the dying husk that is the modern internet 
Currently, my players are patiently letting me prototype some new game mechanics on them. I’m working on how to make exploration and environmental threats as tactically rich as combat, but without bogging everything down in Pathfinder style crunch. I doubt the system will ever make it off my harddrive, but its fun to play with.

I’m Liz, aka Magnolia Keep. I like to blog, I designed an incomplete game about submarines, and that’s most of the interesting stuff I can come up with. I’m based in the US for now, and am currently working on changing that.
I came to the O/NSR via more narrative focused games, and a lot of that still permeates my work. I’m hoping to talk shop and meet all y’all!

He everyone I’m Tony, publishing under the name Revivify Games. I love NSR games, drawing dungeons and converting people away from 5e (but don’t hate it/still play it). By day I am a creative director/graphic designer and making TTRPG stuff is a creative escape to me.

I’m Yarrow — a newbie player (5e) and GM (Shadowdark), something which has (unfortunately for my wallet) reactivated my forty-year-old hobby of buying RPG books for games which I’m very unlikely ever to play.

Welcome to the party, mate. How are you enjoying running shadowdark? Anything you like or dislike about it in particular?

I appreciate the simplicity of Shadowdark’s rules as compared to 5e, and particularly the relative absence of perception/investigation/persuasion rolls.

Hi, I’m Markus! I also go by Personable in RPG spheres. I’ve been following indie RPGs for the past few years, playing less than I would like, but enough that I should probably be happy about it.
At the moment, most of my play happens in a Songbirds 3e campaign I run weekly with some local friends, and an online open-table Mothership game I join most weeks. In lieu of actually playing, I like reading and thinking about games, and some of these thoughts can be found on my blog, Personable Thoughts. I also occasionally put things on itch, where I release everything I do for free, because I do not want to have to figure out how I should pay taxes on it.
My OSR cardinal sin is that I actually quite like the 5e skill roll system, it’s the rest of the bloat around it that I’m not a fan of.
I signed up here in the aftermath of Yochai talking about it on B2C, and then promptly forgot to post an introduction because I had to go back to work. I’m back here now, weeks later, and hoping that finally posting an introduction will reinvigorate the poster’s spirit of my youth.

Yeah, the more OSR style of “describe what you do” instead of “roll for what you do”. Very cool.

Hello! I’m Joanna, I’ve been playing NSR games and other RPGs for several years, mostly running games for 1 or 2 players. I’m a big fan Into the Odd, weird fiction & fantasy horror adventures, and recently am a bit obsessed with His Majesty the Worm.

Hi, I’m Carson. I make RPG content (mostly for Mothership) under the name Single Stage to Orbit Press. I’ve lurked in Discord for a little while and decided to join the forum version for a change of pace.
