Assignation: City on the Brink
Old School Hack recommends a generic fantasy setting, and that’s a fine thing. However, there are some DMs who don’t want to tap-dance that fast, for making up the village/city/town/region on the fly. Simple questions like “Where am I from?” … Continue reading
Harrowfaust: Twenty Questions
Jeff Rients has twenty questions here. Let’s answer them for my World Between game! We get to play there next on August 11. (This was harder than I thought it would be, but I like how it turned out.) What … Continue reading
World Building.
I put this in the comments, but want to pull it out here because it turned out to be really significant to how I’m designing. One companion piece to the monster builder is the geomorph stocker project I’ve been working … Continue reading
Calendar for the World Between
Not to complicate things unduly, but I like to have a calendar for a fantasy setting. It did great things for Warhammer. I don’t want it to get so different it is off-putting for new players, but at the same … Continue reading

I think you could create a gothic spectrum something like this: Edgar Poe, Emily Bronte, Warhammer Fantasy, romance novels, Batman, X-Files, Addams Family, Elvira’s Haunted Hills. I also think you could do an Old School Hack game that settles anywhere … Continue reading
Maptacular Monday: OSH Temporal Map
Today is a different kind of map. Today I map out “ages” or “eras” of history. An History of Energy in The Breathing World I have done very little worldbuilding in my Old School Hack setting, not wanting to limit … Continue reading
OSH: Road to Baffram adventure report.
Last night the adventurers braved the Road to Baffram! The actual play report is here. We learned new things about goblins, that I will note here. Goblins have a third, very small lung, that allows them to make a hollering … Continue reading
“Iron Chef Adventure Challange!”
You can see the challenge here. When I got my cards, every one was a character, and they spanned from 3rd to 17th level across Forgotten Realms, AD&D 2E, Grayhawk, and Fading Suns. I figured out how to include every … Continue reading
OSH “Wizards, Warriors, and YOU!”
Two great flavors that go together! The idea of the book is that you can play either the Wizard or the Warrior (with the other becoming a helpful NPC partner.) The Warrior gets to choose 3 cool weapons in addition … Continue reading
The Legacy of the Golden Rune
Morniarak retreated from the mountains, to an outpost that was once used to trade with the Sea People. He was numb and weary beyond all feeling, his grief too profound within him for his life force to shift it aside. … Continue reading
