Game: Old-School Essentials (Classic Fantasy) Day: Mondays Time: 7.00 PM - 10.00 PM (GMT) Frequency: Weekly Location: Owlbear Rodeo + Discord (voice) The end of the road. A lonely fort stands on the banks of a mighty river. It is here the hardy bands of adventurers gather to plan their conquests of The Hill, the hulking mass that looms over this tiny settlement. The Hill is filled with monsters, they say, and an evil witch makes her home there. Still, no visitor to The Hill has ever returned to prove the rumours true or false. The thrill of discovery is too great to pass up, and only the river stands in the way. The adventurers' boat is waiting! I'm running an OSE Classic Fantasy campaign on Monday evenings (UK time). We're playing through B5 Horror on the Hill, a classic D&D module. Unfortunately, we've had a few drop outs recently and we're looking for a couple more to join us. We're 17 sessions in, although most of the group will be new players going forward. We want to keep the group fairly small (no more than four or five players), so we're looking for folks who can commit to attending most weeks. If you're unfamiliar, Old-School Essentials is a retro-clone of Basic/Expert (B/X) Dungeons & Dragons, which was released as two boxed sets in 1981. You can read the rules for free here: https://oldschoolessentials.necroticgnome.com/srd/index.php/Main_Page Both new and experienced players are welcome. If you're new to the OSR style of play, I'm happy to give you a rundown of what to expect. The primary goal is to explore hazardous environments (dungeons and wilderness) and grab as much treasure as possible before hoofing it back to town. Combat is often deadly and the PC mortality rate can be quite high, so players are encouraged to avoid fights or find ways of gaining a strategic advantage. Just as a heads up, we don't usually do a lot of roleplaying or talking in character. The players tend to approach the game in a more objective, strategic way. You might be inclined to think of your character as a pawn or playing piece, or even a soldier in the wargame, except that your options are not limited to movement and attacks. We use Owlbear Rodeo for grid-based combat and the players usually map the dungeon as they explore it. We use Google Docs for character sheets, although you're welcome to use a different one if you prefer. If all of this sounds intriguing, please get in touch. I'm happy to answer any questions and we would be delighted to have you as a player!
