Important further thoughts on Old School Essentials ... and more to follow! Thanks to Gavin Norman for comments on the first review.

I have the pre-release pdfs of Gavin Norman’s Old School Essentials and offer my thoughts. Corrigendum from Gavin Norman: contrary to my suggestion about modern touches, virtually everything in the game is as it was written in B/X.

It’s Friday, so I’m responding to other podcasts - which sort of turns into a review for a rare treat of a game!

It’s Wednesday, so it’s random tables. This week, the tale of Legs Lacan. If you’re listening on Anchor, that’s Inspiral Carpets’ ‘Just Wednesday’ in the intro.

Post-weekend Monday podcasts may be slightly longer! This one has more Black Hack, more rolling on tables, and more love for the Anchor community!

I finish rolling a Lifepath for ‘Stitch’ in Cyberpunk 2020 (started in episode 5) and tease ‘Maze Rats in the 9th World’ and ‘Kung Fu Cops!!’, on which more later...

Thoughts on traps inspired by SpikePit but too long for a message. Recorded in my office: acoustics not grand.

I manage to get my first whole episode out of engaging with listeners. I also consider #indieosr. Sorry about the rustling - I’m still experimenting with when and where to record!

I begin rolling a character’s life path in Cyberpunk 2020 and offer some thoughts on the Cyberpunk genre. The story of STITCH concludes in Ep 8. The rule book lists ‘Sudanese’ under Pacific Island ethnic origin - presume this is an error?

Why I think The Black Hack 2e is the best rules lite/ osr product out there. I don’t roll any dice today. Edit: Listening back, I know you’ll have to roll a d4 *on average* 4 times to get a 1, not ‘at least’ 4 times, as I said!
