This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What's Your Favorite OSR Campaign Setting?

Everything from Frog God was originally for 3e, so that doesn't count as OSR (unless 3e is OSR now)

I have been largely unimpressed by OSR settings. Probably the most ambitious is John Stater's Nod (as revealed in his 'zine), but it's mostly JG hex crawl gibberish that makes little coherent sense.

There's also Usherwood for OSRIC which has had a lot of work put into it

I take that back, Melan's Fomalhaut setting is pretty neat. But you can only get bits and pieces here and there in various zines and such. Weird without being stupid or silly, more coherent than JG stuff

Quote from: Teodrik;1029087I am not a big fan of LotfP, but I like the idea of putting D&D adventures in historical times. And  as such I like the idea of Dark Albion but I have never read it.
 

You should get it! If you want a setting that melds real history with D&D, Dark Albion would be perfect for you!
