What's your favorite piece of GM advice?

  • I can relate. Our group's all time favorite NPC is literally named TBD 😅

    • OSR/NSR Tabletop Roleplaying Games @lemm.ee doggoblingames @pathfinder.social

    What happened to the Blueholme website?
    dreamscapedesign.net Error: Active domain connection for this domain not found

    I went looking for Michael Thomas' (Blueholme's designer) website to link in a Mastodon thread and it seems to be gone along with his Twitter account. The books are still for sale on DTRPG and I found some info on his old Kickstarter. Just curious if this is a temporary blip or if I should keep linking people to his product page directly.

    What's the difference between OSR and NSR?

  • I think pandatheist at the Bone Box Chant blog does a solid job defining it here (and expanding on it in a followup post): https://boneboxchant.wordpress.com/2019/12/21/nsr/

    To quote the definition, NSR games:

    • Have a GM, Weird Setting, & Living World
    • Are Rules Light & Deadly (or Consequential)
    • Focus on Emergent Narrative, External Interaction, & Exploration

    I think all of those things (except maybe Weird Setting IMO) cover the genre well with an intentionally broad and inclusive definition. I also think looking at examples may be most illustrative and understand that it's more a community than one particular set of traits. Yochai Gal (of Cairn fame) has a great article on this very idea: https://newschoolrevolution.com/2022/05/04/the-new-new-school-revolution .
