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.

Meanwhile, if you want pure Gothic stuff, Daniel James Hanley's Ghastly Affair work goes straight back to the sources and translates them to the OSR.

OSR products that I would recommend:

Games

Beyond the Wall (and especially its companion volume Further Afield) my personal favourite

The Sword & Sorcery sister game to the above: Through Sunken Lands my new shiny favourite

Dungeon Crawl Classicsfor the funnel and the craziness

Old School Essentials for the nostaliga and ease of use plus the expansions

Dragon Warriors (and the adventures Sleeping Gods and Elven Crystals)- my favourit e alternative to D&D redux

Settings

Second the Gazeteers of the Known World especially Karameikos, Glantri and Rockhome

Midderlands for the detail and the creepy oddness

Dolmenwood for the fairy-tale feel

Scenarios[/u] (including only the ones I have run on more than one occasion)

Necropolis of Nuromen (really old school feel)
The Keep on the Borderlands (of course)
Shadowbrook Manor (lots of deadly fun)
The Stygian Garden of Abelia Prim (truly original and excellent)
The Gardens of Ynn (great ideas)
Grave of the Heartless
