These days I mostly post on my Substack, but I thought I’d share this one here. Three months ago I ran a poll over at Questing Beast looking how GMs actually handle when to roll, and it turns out some approaches are much more popular than others. I’ve given each approach a name: Wide, Low, […] The post Roll Windows appeared first on Questing Beast .

With the recent release of the 2021 ENNIE Award nominations (The Waking of Willowby Hall was nominated for Best Adventure!), I thought I’d take a look back through the award’s history to see how the OSR has historically fared. I’ve listed all OSR and OSR-adjacent products that have been nominated since 2010 below. If they […] The post The History of OSR ENNIE Awards appeared first on Questing…
In a previous post I talked about my preference for the term Adventure Game over OSR. In some ways I like it better than the term RPG as well. I was gratified to find that the person who invented the whole genre (David Wesely) felt the same way. Since then, I’ve been on the lookout […] The post The Adventure Game Through History appeared first on Questing Beast .

Remember to […] The post Vote for Labyrinth at the ENnies! appeared first on Questing Beast .
I’m now playing Sea of Thieves for about 4 hours a day. Playing solo is awful, but with a crew of close friends/family members, it’s transcendent. A huge part of that is the ship battles, which can be approached with an intensely OSR sense of creative mayhem. There’s so many many strategies you can employ […] The post Sea of Thieves: The Best OSR Combat Game? appeared first on Questing Beast .
The latest adventure I’m working on for Zine Quest, The Waking of Willowby Hall, is fully funded and has all its stretch goals unlocked! There’s less than a day left to grab it! Thanks to everyone who has pledged so far and helped to make this thing real. The post 24 hours left on the Questing Beast Kickstarter! appeared first on Questing Beast .
