Corvusburg, the Second Batch

Our first pair of plucky heroes have met their end, eaten by a large pack of worgs somewhere along the road east of Corvusburg.  The don’t call it the Wolflands for nothing. Fortunately, and the elites don’t want you to know this, but first level adventurers are free.  You...

The Corvusburg Chronicles, Part the First

I’ll have to add a new category for this one. Over on the channel we’re having a grand old time running through a solo campaign of AD&D.  One clever viewer has asked for an upload what we’ve learned so far, the better to follow along at home. With that...

Broman Crusade: Open Sourced

Brovenloft: The Pope’s Tale

The straight dope from the Bro Pope, the (second) man who brought the Rat King to heel.  I’ve made a few minor edits for clarity and readability.  Otherwise, these words are his own. Introduction (h/t ThreadReaderApp) Ok, time to resume this thread about #BROvenloft When the #BROvenloft concept was...

New Game: Rise of the Orc Lords

Coming soon to a social media website near you, it’s the latest iteration in Braunstein technology. Starting already, but kicking off December 1st, we’ve got twelve volunteers ready to sit upon a throne of mammoth bones and direct orcish hordes in support of their Dread Lord’s crusade of chaos. ...

BROSR Principles: A Primer

Over the last couple of years, the lads in the #BROSR have reinvigorated the ossified field of tabletop RPGs by incorporating the solid design principles laid down by the giants of the pre-1980s collapse.  We’ve spilled a lot of ink – and I’ve published a number of videos –...
