I am a big fan of the d4 Caltrops blog, and over the last year its author, ktrey, has been churning out d100 tables providing something to flavour random encounters for every creature appearing in the OSE bestiary. They are, however, spread across quite a few different PDF documents - not the easiest tools to … Continue reading OSE Encounter Activity generator

EDIT: Simplified the consequences of rolling a 1 further so the only reference a caster should need is the magical mishap table. As alluded to in my post trialling the Channeller class for a previous version of Off-White Cube, my preference is that those barmy fools who think dabbling in the arcane arts is an … Continue reading Casting without spell lists
There have been some recent rumblings from my dormant miniature gaming hobby. I'm slowly warming myself up by putting together some papercraft scenery, and to make up for the shortfall in actual miniatures and terrain I've dared dip a toe into Tabletop Simulator. More on that perhaps in another post. It had me go looking … Continue reading The Haunted Dungeon – Fantastical Pulp Alley AAR
A big assumption behind Off-White Cube is that a character is not defined primarily (or much at all) by their class. Instead, the class serves as a recognisable archetype which should help guide players as to how their character's goes about adventuring. My personal preference is to do away with classes entirely, but they do … Continue reading Character Flavour Tables
Several versions on from the previous iteration of Off-White Cube, this new document has been pared down and simplified further in an attempt to reinforce the elements that I find more enjoyable in gameplay. For the benefit of anyone who's interested, and so that I have something of a log of my thought processes, this … Continue reading Off-White Cube 0.21
I have to confess to have played very little BX D&D and its retroclones, for all that it seems to be one of the more popular OSR games, so it's taken me a little while to get round to putting together a online-ified version of a character sheet. Then I came across a character sheet … Continue reading Online Character Sheet – Old School Essentials / Labyrinth Lord / BX D&D

From the Barrowmaze GM Screen Affairs so far Of the 41 sessions so far (current global matters have ensured the capacity for rather a lot of games in a short … Continue reading A month’s worth of sessions – a megadungeon reflection update
Source: Kickstarter Electric Bastionland (with a free edition available here) was the first time I dared venture into being Kickstarter backer. I very rarely go for a physical copy of any RPG product - cost is a factor, when I can economically print them myself, and as there is only so much shelf space I … Continue reading Online Character Sheet – Electric Bastionland
Source: youtube Here's a character sheet I put into Google Slides for the benefit of an online Play-by-Post game running through Stonehell using the TheManWithAHammer's Knave hack. The campaign was fun but unfortunately shortlived, as has been the case with any PbP game I have played in or run. But that's a post for another … Continue reading Online Character Sheet – Knave
Source: Oubliette Magazine In this time of greatly increased virtual play, and at the instigation of someone on reddit asking for online-friendly character sheets, I thought it would be good to start putting together some characters sheets for the game systems I've used, for my own use and should anyone else want to use them. … Continue reading Online Character Sheet – The Black Hack 2e
