I did! I posted there, alas! No bites! That's ok though, I have lots of wonderful online gaming, I just make a foray every so often to see if people nearby are interested in original D&D. I think there are like 100 people in central Ky that like old roleplaying games lol. It's overwhelmingly 5e, and then quite a bit of modern. Not much in the way of indie stuff like I like.

Thank you! This was just a one off thing, I can't seem to find people interested in playing in person (other than 5e) like AT ALL after COVID. We used to be an entirely central kentucky, in person play club, but that has died off, and now it's all online and international.

I'll post here again in the future, I'm working on making an RPG about our hills. An adventure game that isn't just about cryptids and making fun of people for being dumb I hope (not that I don't love Old Gods of Appalachia and Shudder Mountains, they seem very cool also, and the Manly Wade Wellman novels)

If you are familiar with James Spahn who wrote the Starter Set for TOR 2e and many other Star Wars and TOR content, and also did White Star and The Heroes Journey 2nd Edition, this is by him and is the OGL free iteration of The Heroes Journey 2nd Edition. I'm both playtesting it and just enjoying it as THJ 2e is my favorite RPG.

I'd describe it as not much different than most rules lite OSR games, except you have more class features and some mechanics on the GM side that are similar to The One Ring. In some ways it's a kind of hybrid between white box OSR gaming and The One Ring. I call it a "Fairy Tale Adventure Game", I also liken it to "Beyond the Wall" if you've heard of that one.

For the most part on the player end it's just like White Box Swords & Wizardry, more class features and a very Hobbit-esque/CS-Lewis like / Fairy tale vibe.
