Finarvyn, the website for good graveslug looks legit. He mentions Planet Eris, so I already like him! Doesn’t look like a sock puppet.

Was the original Djeryv’s Dungeon Door or some such? Welcome djeryv ! Thanks. Yes...it was Djeryv's Dungeon Door forever-ago. The only thing that is still online that I touched is that osricrpg.com/ site I made for EOTB.

I haven't, but if some fool ever casts me in a Middle Earth fan film, I feel I'd have to at least get the costume department to stencil it on. Thanks for the greetings!

Chris, it's been a couple of years since I played DCC, but those detailed character sheets look pretty useful. Do you have any good stories of your DCC games? I think the very last session I ran was Tower of the Black Pearl, which pleasantly ended with the PCs inadvertently snuffing out all the Lawful heroes on the world they were on. Whoopsie! If/when we start up again they will have to choose only surviving neutrals and chaotics, in a revised setting overrun with catastrophe.

Hello odd74 I've just requested to join as traversefantasy.

Mods, Marcia is a known new face in 1974 OD&D discussion on the webs. A few users here are even readers of the Traverse Fantasy blog. Assuming the ID checks out, I think Marcia's input and point of view would be a welcome addition here.

Are they the person that believes “The OSR should die”? :? Trying to figure a way to confirm via the blog.

Haha, it's me! chiquitafajita.blogspot.com/2022/07/psst-odd74.htmlTo be clear, me saying "the OSR should die" was really about weird charlatans trying to claim themselves to be the successors of some past ideal OSR. I myself tend to play in the OSR style and I am very interested in the history of old role-playing games and in the OSR as an internet movement(s); so, I'm somewhere under the OSR umbrella. But I'd really appreciate the opportunity to discuss OD&D with y'all. I've lurked here for a while, with different threads always popping up on Google whenever I tried to search for people's interpretations of the game (and, eventually, I'd learn just to search specifically for things on here). It just seems fun!

If/when we start up again they will have to choose only surviving neutrals and chaotics, in a revised setting overrun with catastrophe. Hi Finarvyn, nice, that is the kind of craziness that DCC is known for. One of the funnier events was when a wizard spellburned heavily (sacrificed STR and other ability points as a bonus to their spell check) to cast a powerful version of Sleep during a boss fight, obviously with the intention of putting the enemies to sleep so that the party could have their way with them. Unfortunately, the player didn't realize that the boss character's half-dozen front-line skeletal knights, being undead, were immune to the thing. The spell check came out in the 32+ bracket (max power), which put everything in about a one-mile radius to sleep indefinitely, including the party and the boss, but not the skeletons, who hacked the party to pieces as they slumbered. Whoopsie indeed!

Hello MinorBug. Your username does make you difficult to research. Considering your blog and your interest in 5e, what brought you to us?

Hello!
I play and run a lot of 5e mostly because it's the easiest game for me to find players for or find people running - a lot of the people in my playgroups got into dnd with 5e. However, I enjoy a wide range of games and have ran a couple games of od&d and of retroclones that are derived from it. I intend to run more in future, and stumbled upon this community when searching for opinions on how certain aspects of the game work.

Hello odd74 I've just requested to join as LuckyLegs.
I think it's unlikely anyone here knows me, but FWIW I have commented occasionally in a couple retro-clone and old-school setting groups on Facebook (under my real name). I mostly lurk, though, as I'm relatively new to the scene and mainly just trying to learn. Consider me an Intellect Devourer! (oh wait that's AD&D)
I've only played old-school D&D with my friends and family so far.
My pals on odd74 are only of the imaginary kind (sorry, I just don't have any connections here yet).
Mods, please see my membership request.
