This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Good OSR content and Subsystems for a Godbound Game?
« on: May 25, 2020, 01:40:14 PM »
Well I decided to run a Godbound game in the near future, but I'm going to tinker with it to my liking. I know of all of Sine Nominees Stuff and generally love it, but what other great OSR content exists?
In my games I like to use skill-based systems a bit more (What I liked from SWN), and I like High Magic Magitech stuff.

So any ideas where to look for such?

Given Kevin's objective for the game, deity books of OSR games should have use as the basis for various NPC in the game.  Something like Pundits Cults of Chaos should be able to be used for people that interact with the PCs, but then the game has aspects that are all its own. So.....
Any comment I add to forum is from complete boredom.

The Dreams of Ruin is an excellent high level OSR adventure. I imagine it's adaptable at least thematically. I have not actually dug into Godbound though.
