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:

It must be an urban classic by now, but I can't stop marvelling at free league's forbidden lands. The system is dead-simple, yet leaves all the room for nuance and tactics. The fantasy world is classic, but with a surprise twist here. The official campaigns are superb with lots of "aha!" Secrets to discover, while at the same time a low-prep gameplay with just travel (well done hexcrawl) and randomly generated sites is also possible.
@theLazyPragmatic @osr I am in love with it. I managed to sell it to some friends that are obsessed with Gloomhaven telling them about the map with stickers, which apparently was a huge selling point for both.
There's some resemblance there, that's true :) We played Gloomhaven before Forbidden Lands, too, but all online, so there weren't many stickers involved in the first place. Congratulations on finding a group to play, are you campaigning or just hexcrawling? There's a community for FbL on lemmy, did you know?
@theLazyPragmatic we are starting the campaign this summer finally. It's my friends I have been playing with for over 20 years, and recently we decided this year we'll finally get around playing FL, Mothership and possibly Lancer. But then yesterday I got Broken Compass and I might want to push that on top of the list.
I will definitely join the Lemmy community! Thank you for the link
