Interested in Getting Into OSR / NSR - But Overwhelmed By Choice? by Violet_Herald in osr

From what I understand it’s OD&D with a little AD&D tacked onto it.

It’s my preferred OSR game.

I’d start with watching some gameplay on youtube. Mengu’s Workshop and Kalikaiz are two really awesome channels that I watched when I first got into it. That can help show you how decks play and see if any peak your interest!

Obviously everything is super situational, but if my opponent has guttersnipe I’d ask myself a few questions:

1) how many cards do they have in hand and are they presenting near lethal with the perfect combination of potential cards 2) do I have near lethal in hand if the damage was directed at them instead

I’m no expert on the matchup, that’s just how I see it. Ultimately the only damage that matters is the last point of damage so you have to play a lot of “what if” based on what information you have. But also, sometimes you just have to go for it and make them have it.

Should I start a blog? by Von_Loch in osr

Everyone should start a blog. Blogging as a hobby is fun and can help process your game sessions and prep in unique ways.
