#BrOSR evil ideas crossed the ocean and were spread among innocent Europeans. BTW, excellent work by @cirsova : beautiful books with letter size for adult gamers and a really well managed crowdfunding. @RuleOfThule and @Bdubs1776 essays are top notch. #ThankyouJeffro
@_Autarch_ Midnight, the D&D 3rd ed campaign setting (didn't read the 5ed version). Heavy militaristic factions; huge war fronts; secret resistance with mercantile gnomes allies perfect for hijinks; scarcity economy; custom magic systems (splatbooks); an evil god with blood sacrifices....
@micpewpew I've been thinking for some time now how to make some money for charity via a ttrpg event. Could you share the details about how have you organised yours? (I mean, 1€ per player is 5€/4h...totally inefficient)
I've found @stee_blackbend 's message "Boot Hill is the Braunstein manual. AD&D is the Player's Guide to the rules, and the Dungeon Master's Guide to emulating the world of the stein"
I'm watching westerns for getting Boot Hill vibes, following excellent advices from the (equally excellent) @dm_serious 's Drakonheim community. Maybe are they and pre-80's adventure films the cinematographic equivalent to Appendix N for reconnecting young males with cinema?
In fact, Leigh Brackett was one of the two screenwriters of Rio Bravo. (All this BH thing originated with Vizier Van Dike recommending it as a very light system for your first Braunsteins)
@WithNightDanger@archon I love this topic because it makes your brain explode: suddenly, you realise Conan is sitting on the throne of a kingdom that resembles Medieval France. (And then, that picture of Schwartznegger like Old Conan at the end of the film is totally inaccurate)
@archon@WithNightDanger I read somewhere that the main issue is interpreting Hyborea like Bronze/Iron Age instead of Medieval. Yeah, sandals and loincloths, but because in Conan stories people are poor...or stories take place in underdeveloped countries or in tropical climates.
@AlexeyGorboot Oh, I see. I'm European, so I didn't know these products...the barbarian's sidekick is the brand's character. Nice! For sure I'd buy anything with that barbarian and those colours in the bag 🤣. It rocks! Congratulations for your awesome work!
