Whither Reddit? In the meantime, here’s a place to chat up old school revival (OSR) and new school revolution (NSR) style TTRPGs.

My name is Todd aka Hexed Press and I am the current caretaker (have I always been the caretaker?). Here are some other places to find me, if you are so inclined:

Same here! I'd given up on GMing for a few years but this made me want to get back into it.

I never GMed back in the day, felt like I didn't have the creative chops to do it.

B/X, rulings and rules, procedures, random tables and published adventures changed all that for me.

I am forever grateful to the OSR for rekindling this flame.

I'm exactly the same! The procedural style of gameplay takes so much self-imposed pressure off my shoulders, and random tables really help spark my creativity and allows me to GM more comfortably.
