What people don’t get about OSR vs “story games” with multiple degrees of success.
That’s the thing though, there are no binary results in OSR. The third option still exists but isn’t forced down your throat by a mechanical result. In OSR the success at a cost is decided prior to the roll and may very well cancel the roll.

In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

Other people's bullshit is the absolute worst.
/3 I am informed it’s normal to get more intolerant as I get older and I think I am absolutely getting less tolerant of other people’s absolute bullshit.

I was a guest on the always brilliant @rookeryp.bsky.social talking about magic and magic systems in RPGs.
Our chat with Paolo was great, going really deep into magic and grounding it in your games. Missed it? Check it out on YouTube. Loved it? Fret not, we'll be getting Paolo back on again, as we have a lot more to discuss!

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.
It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.

Self employment with ADHD is very hard. Not only I sometimes struggle to get stuff done during 9-to-5, but I also struggle to not work during my time off. I think I had only two weeks I did zero work in the past 6 years.
I'm burnt out, so I'm taking the weekend off and listening to Bob James.
