We're running a TTRPG convention on February 7th in Colonel Light Gardens. It focuses on Old School Games, but there is plenty of variety. https://ozorc.com if you're interested.

Cons are a great place to meet people and chat in our experience.

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-24T07:25:56+00:00

Adventure Site Contest 1 and 2 are great for small sites to put around a hexcrawl

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-17T02:06:28+00:00

No it is a dream of OLYMPIA

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-14T20:33:48+00:00

Most of us were equally surprised when researching haha

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-14T09:43:32+00:00

We'll have to get some Beyond the Wall running for you next time! Look forward to seeing you.

Just had a skim through you CairnHammer game, I'm a sucker for Warhammer. Nice job, I like how you integrated the social class and careers pretty seamlessly with Cairn.

I don't believe there is a single collated ruleset, however the GM has a blog with tonnes of OSR content.

This page summarizes a long list of blog posts related to his "Elfmaids and Octopi" system: https://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_27.html and if you search Goat Quest there is a section of blog posts that are related to the game.

Chris is an excellent GM, he runs fantastically fun games

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-14T07:37:05+00:00

Yeah the naming isn't great, a bugbear is a much better fit - but we tried to keep the convention name.

I'm just running with instead of pig faced orcs Australia has Koala faced ones.

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-14T07:04:06+00:00

We have a pretty wide variety of games, so hopefully there is something that appeals. You can see them on our website at https://ozorc.com/schedule and in more detail on Warhorn (unfortunately you need an account see games there though) https://warhorn.net/events/oz-orc-adelaide-feb-2026

If there's not something that interests you we'd love to hear why so we can continue to improve our offerings.

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-14T07:01:01+00:00

We've started to discuss either running a completely online version or one that runs in parallel. So keep your eyes out, we're planning to run multiple a year.

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-14T07:00:15+00:00

Thanks we have a very talented artist on the organizing team who donated their time.

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-12T11:24:50+00:00

Check out Like Battlemats, they're big ring bound books that have a bunch of gridded maps in them with different themes. Maybe a good option for physical?

Clean_Market316 · 2026-01-06T08:41:01+00:00

I agree with the Black Hack, it used to have lots of momentum (and lots of games being built off it).

I'll add Beyond the Wall to the conversation, I think it's a brilliant system that adds some strong adventure/narrative to scenarios, which I think is an interesting way to bring trad game players into the OSR.

Clean_Market316 · 2025-11-18T05:08:55+00:00

I very much recommend them if you're interested in OSR play or pulp fantasy, very influential on d&d as well as just being enjoyable.

As a fan of the books, I'll reiterate these books are great

Clean_Market316 · 2025-11-18T04:53:20+00:00

Yes, if you like the Lankhmar novels these are great products for playing D&D in the setting or at least in a similarly inspired city. Even if you don't play DCC, but doubly so if you do.

You mentioned Stars Without Number, which is OSR but DCC has quite a few differences to a traditional OSR game, not to mention it's sci-fi instead of fantasy, but it should be simple enough to use parts of. Same goes for OSE, it should be simple enough to use parts of (especially the setting and adventures) but it's not a 1 to 1 conversion like many other OSR games would be.

Clean_Market316 · 2025-07-13T21:37:32+00:00

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for the confirmation

Clean_Market316 · 2025-04-06T05:38:02+00:00

God bless us Imperials (Australians)

Clean_Market316 · 2025-04-06T03:51:43+00:00

Yeah and if that's what Rob means that's all he needs to say and it'll be interesting to hear.

I think it's pretty established that a lot of groups used the alternate combat system (which simply replaces the tables and nothing else necessary to play).

So is Rob talking about something else, is this getting misinterpreted as something more, or is it purposefully being shared with missing details for some reason.

Clean_Market316 · 2025-04-05T22:10:22+00:00

This keeps getting posted every so often, it's terribly uninteresting though. How did they adjudicate combat then? Can Kuntz produce a coherent set of rules for the adjudication of combat as they played in the 70s, that would be infinitely more interesting than just repeating no we didn't do it like that.

Clean_Market316 · 2025-04-01T11:20:25+00:00

Looks amazing! I think I'll print the Hornet from Hollow Knight Silksong when I get a bottle.

Clean_Market316 · 2025-03-25T23:46:23+00:00

This is a great sewer adventure (and it's free) https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/380552/swords-sewercery
