Character Creation Challenge 29: Aenglum
Aenglum is my friend Jim’s osr-game. Years ago, I had the pleasure of playing in his megadungeon campaign Under (depending on context this can be one of two Swedish words, one meaning “below” and another meaning “wonder”). I still remember … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 27: Break!!
This new (not yet released) game is inspired by Studio Ghibli animes and video games like Zelda and Final Fantasy. I start by choosing my Calling, which determines Aptitudes, Combat values, Calling abilities, Character advancement, and Combat gear allowance. I … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 26: Metamorphosis Alpha
The original science fiction game from 1976 (some would say science fantasy). The set-up, with a generation ship adrift in space, the descendants of its crew afflicted with strange mutations and no longer aware of the nature of their home, … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 23: Esoteric Enterprises
In this OSR game, the player characters are weirdos and criminals who explore the occult underground (in both senses of the word, as a social milieu and as a subterranean environment) and try to build a criminal empire of their … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 19: Furies of the Barrens
This Black Hack-based game is kind of Dark Sun-ish, but only in a general sense, the setting has a weird style of its own with many strange creatures (playable as well as monsters) well outside the standard D&D-fare. Instead of … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 16: Troika
Troika has rules recognizable to anyone who has played a Fighting Fantasy gamebook, and a weird fantasy setting drawing on elements from Dying Earth, Viriconium, Book of the New Sun (and to some extent also Planescape and Spelljammer), stirred together … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 15: Electric Bastionland
Electric Bastionland is a kind of follow-up to Into the Odd, set in a future version of the setting (or at least a version more inspired by the 19th-20th century compared to the 17th-19th century style of the original game). … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 14: Into the Odd
Into the Odd is an osr-game with a strong identity of its own, the rules make several interesting innovations and deviations from the standard formula of b/x, and the setting is closer to the new weird of Merwyn Peake and … Continue reading
Character Creation Challenge 11: Warriors of the Red Planet / Swords & Super-Science of Xuhlan
WotRP is an excellent osr game for barsoom-style sword and planet adventures, and Xuhlan is my supplement for it, with a specific setting and some extra rules for super-science research, psychic combat, etc. I wanted to make a robot wizard, … Continue reading
Ready made player characters for Xuhlan
In Umeå where I live we have an OSR convention / game day called Grottröj (“Dungeon Bashing”) once every quarter of the year. This time I ran the intro dungeon for Swords & Super-Science of Xuhlan, my setting for the … Continue reading
