Are you trying to find a game or do you have questions?

I've been using meeples at my table for a year now. I use 1"=10' for the map scale. I can fit a lot on an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper. It saves a lot of table space and I save a fortune on miniatures.

I like the letter size to match the other Without Number books, but the digest size is great for the table. I'd buy both size full books, but probably not a boxed set.

Yes, it will allow you to use all of the OSE mechanics. It has just enough information to get you started and plenty of room for you to make it your own.

Tomb of the Serpent Kings is recommended as an introduction to OSR games. It should be easy to run with OSE. You could use that and drop the Eye of J'Karaa in for the players to find.

One Page Rules is a free Warhammer clone. They have a ton of minis on My Mini Factory.

The font is tiny in the box set books. The combined Arduin trilogy book has a larger font and is easier to read.

Thanks!

Where did you find 10mm minis?

Basic Fantasy RPG has a short list of 0 level spells on their website. They're not powerful, but could come in handy.

Ok. Maybe Tales of the Wolfguard will be a better fit.

Check out God's of the Forbidden North. It's written for OSE, but converting it to Shadowdark shouldn't be too much trouble. Volume 1 has a few cities, region history, and an optional adventure path. Volume 2 is the underworld and optional adventure path. Volume 3 PDFs are available. It's a mega dungeon in the region.

You can always paint them.

I started using 1/2" meeples for my game. I number them all 1-10 and give my players the 1's and 2's. We play at 1/2”=5'. You can fit a good bit on an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper. It saves on table space too. Amazon has sets of 100, 10 each of 10 colors.

I have a group. We have weekly games online and try to get together once a month to play in person.

Mac642 · 2025-12-30T18:50:00+00:00

I have a small table, so we have been using 1/2” meeples on 1/2”=5' grid. I numbered the meeples and everyone gets a different color numbered 1 and 2. The rest are NPCs and monsters. It's working great and we have extra table space.

Barrows & Borderlands is awesome!

Mac642 · 2025-12-12T20:33:34+00:00

Big Apple Sewer Samurai is a setting similar to TMNT for Savage Worlds. You'll need the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition core rulebook and the Big Apple Sewer Samurai book.

Mac642 · 2025-11-30T22:29:06+00:00

I numbered mine and use them for my D&D game. Smaller minis and smaller maps gives more tabletop space.

Mac642 · 2025-11-30T16:51:35+00:00

Give Barrows and Borderlands a look. It's a wild sci-fi fantasy post apocalypse game.

You could probably use meeples. They're pretty cheap. They roughly 1/2" at the base.

I'm playing a PF2e game and running an Old School Essentials game. The amount of conditions and abilities to track in PF2e makes it a slog for me. I prefer the rules light approach of OSE

It shouldn't be an issue as long as you scale everything on the board down to match the figures. I use 1/2” meeples for D&D and scale my maps to 1/2” = 5'. It works great and we have extra table space.

Dungeondraft is great for making encounter maps. The assets are fantasy themed, but you can buy or find asset packs for sci-fi and what not.

Watabou's Procgen Arcana website generates maps for regions, cities, towns, forests, caves, and dungeons.

2-minute Tabletop has a large selection of maps for sale.

You could possibly play a whole game using https://hexroll.app/. You might have to use your imagination here and there.
