White Box - Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game is an OD&D clone written by Charlie Manson.

I discovered it recently via Path Peculiar’s twitter. He displays some nice previews of the book, so linking the tweet here.

I love this iteration of #DnD. It’s so streamlined and elegant. This book can do pretty much everything I want in a D&D campaign. #ttrpg pic.twitter.com/d3sHwfyas0

I am happy to present something I have been working on for a while: my first tabletop roleplaying zine!

Here I’ll list the different adventures we have run in our OSR and Mausritter campaign.

Our OSR campaign.

1. Winters Daughter - acquired the magic sword, set free the ghost.
2. Please go to sleep, Arthur Cobbleworth - murdered the parrot. Recruited a clerk to the group.
3. Homemade dungeon crawl of local Barrow - minor loot, had to tactically retreat.
4. Oh no, Toads! - save the village, killed the Toad King.
5. The curse of Buckthorn Valley - managed to get the evil chalice out of the water supply
6. Dolmenwood: Arriving in Lanskshorn - inherited house and an old dog in Lankshorn.
7. Dolmenwood: The House of Merridwyn Scymes - Ongoing…

Mausritter seem to inspire a lot of crafts. These tokens we drew for our characters.

Hand drawn mice (color copied and printed) on white paper, we wrapped them around cardboard and then used some plastic stand from a board game we own.

Been on the lookout for some good models, if you know of any let me know

Barrow’s Green is a massive stretch of of green hilly plains north of the Gray Lake. On these plains a small outpost is located that goes by the same name, the Barrow’s Green Outpost. The plains are named after the many ancient barrows that cover the landscape.

It’s a very rural area with small population of farmers, hunters and homesteaders.

It stands under the protection of the noble house Oldwode and they, lead by the young Baron Nicholai, operate the keep and marketplace in Barrow’s Green Outpost.

Expanding on the Mausritter bank-lore. The banking system is only mentioned very briefly in the rulebook so I am fleshing it out.

Quickly sharing how I sketch out a short OSR adventure (Old School Essentials).

It’s a simple streamlined affair that I ran with my son. About a sentient Giant Toad king who is trying to establish dominance over a local lake and thereby disrupting the fish trade.
