Which OSR RPGs Have You Actually Played/Run?

Simlasa · April 07, 2018, 10:01:03 PM

Played:
DCC
LotFP
S&W
LL
SWN
Mazes & Minotaurs

Run:
LotFP
DCC

Want to play:
Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea, though most of my knowledge and desire to play it comes from the name and cover images... and being a fan of Clark Ashton Smith's stories.

Quote from: CRKrueger;1033308Spears of the Dawn (SoD) - Love this game. Major project I'm working on when I have time is a Hyperborean Black Kingdoms campaign with Mythras incorporating the SoD ideas.

That sounds most excellent!
I've been reading Nyambe, with Spears of the Dawn next on the list... and wishing for more African fantasy.

It's Pundit:). That's part of his "schtick".

Piece of advice, it helps, when reading his posts, to imagine him like someone who's cossplaying a character from a spaghetti Western;).

Lamentations of the Flame Princess (longest campaign) and Sword & Wizardry White Box (mostly one-shots), but I don't run OSR or D&D based games anymore (nothing wrong with the games, just wanted a change of pace).

Ran a short campaign of Castles & Crusades. Ran several encounters using Starships & Spacemen, but reskinned as Colonial Marines.

Player in games of in LotFP, and FH&W/Dark Albion.

Planning an ACK game right now. Trying to get my head around the system they use for hit throws. It's just different enough from THAC0 or a base attack bonus to make me throw one wheel off the rail. I must be getting old.

I may try LotFP at some point. I want to pick up Lion & Dragon and give it a read, since I have all the Dark Albion books. Otherwise, I may use the retro-clone of Warhammer, Zweihander.

Larsdangly · April 09, 2018, 10:30:09 PM

Castles and Crusades
Dark Albion/Fantastic Heroes and Witchery
Lion and Dragon
Dungeon Crawl Classics
Mazes and Minotaurs
27th Edition Platemail (cheating...I wrote it!)
Balrogs and Bagginses (...and this one as well)

I don't count Swords and Wizardry, Labyrinth Lord and other stuff that is just re-branded OD+D, BD+D or 1E, but if you do add a couple of those

Links and pimping!

I'll have to dig them up and re post them. I've always been kind of conservative about spreading around stuff that is on shaky ground, IP wise, so I prefer to just send a google doc link to individuals who express interest rather than put up a permanent site.

Motorskills · April 10, 2018, 11:09:57 AM

ACKS
Labyrinth Lord
DCC
Torchbearer

All fine I guess, but not what I want from my gaming these days.

Séadna · April 10, 2018, 06:22:13 PM

Ran a campaign that was a Labyrinth Lord/Lamentations mix, with some Lion and Dragon at the end. Bit of Al Qadim as well.

Hey, it sounded like a western game, an OSR western game, and I'd never heard of it. I don't know if you're aware but I'm quite the fan of the wild west (currently running a campaign in its 2nd year set in the historical wild west using Aces & Eights). I was surprised I didn't know (or didn't remember) this game's existence.

It's the kind of thing I'd be happy to receive a review-copy of.

Given my tastes, a better comparison might be to Tombstone, Deadwood, or (obviously) Gangs of New York.
