I wish I could say I learned through this just through my own insight and wisdom, but the truth is I smashed myself against the rocks several times and had my need for expression and love for design outweigh that need for validation. But I have learned some things i can share...
As someone who is new in this space, I definitely struggle with searching for validation in TTRPGs. Obviously it's bad for my mental health, but any tips that helped you learn that lesson?

I have it on good authority that this is what "An OSR" is
I am in *that point of life* in which if im in a bar, somebody says to me 'hey im a luke gearing" and we engage in a conversation about adventure design I will buy them a pint regardless if they are a luke gearing
The important part is talking about adventures and knowing what a luke gearing is

the secret 14th principle of thinking adventures is "if you meet luke gearing at a convention buy him a pint and forgive him of all sins"

"[What] I’ve written amounts to “the OSR is about adventures,” which probably won’t be news to anyone [...] For me, however, this layered view offers a way to understand the OSR as a consistent, coherent design movement."
The OSR Onion
The OSR may be best understood as a layered approach to design centered around a specific way of writing, refereeing, and playing adventures.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

The art of being a #ttrpg games master is observing the players and knowing when it is time to fuck with their characters and how hard they need it.

Over the weekend I was talking about OSR/NSR stuff with a friend and being the overly simplistic person I am I was like "do you remember when Cave Story got popular and a bunch of in the indie space realized they could just make games like the old ones they liked? It's just like that"

Despite not being at PAX U, im experiencing the reinvigoration of those who did attend and remembering the power of human connection. We're a scattered community with the majority of our discussion taking place online, but theres literally nothing like interpersonal communication with another nerd.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

I wrote a TTRPG-specific gift guide that isn’t just nice or rpg books you already have or purposely don’t have. If you have well-meaning loved ones who support but don’t necessarily understand your hobby (or if you are that loved one) this may be helpful to share with them #ttrpg #osr #dnd

Damn, y'all. I know we're having fun with the OSRs but not only does Rowan give me the clearest idea yet of what those games are interested in, they also made me think, for the first time, about where they might go next:
