Short description of the setting/campaign:

I’ll be starting a new RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha campaign this Friday, November 2nd. We are looking for some more players (we have three, currently). If you are interested in joining us, please send me a PM. The game will be Fridays nights from 6-9 (or 10) each week. We’re playing in a home near the Braeswood area of SW Houston.

We’ll be paying a somewhat standard campaign in Dragon Pass; the players are jurors/agents of the Argrath.

Jason Cordova, is it OK to advertise for players for a new FtF campaign in the Houston area? I am starting soon and I need a few more players.

For the OSR Tuesday crowd – 

One of the more interesting thing about LotFP, is that the default setting is the Pre-Modern world of the 17th century. Accordingly, your characters will be starting in London, circa 1640. 

Here is a very interesting re-creation of the London of that era. Try and take a look at it before the game, if possible.

OSR Tuesdays Spotlight

This will be an occasional entry/short essay on various things OSR and OSR Tuesdays related. 

Probably the most important thing I can tell you before we play Lamentations of the Flame Princess (or any OSR RPG, for that matter) is to forget that you are playing D&D.

That’s because D&D takes up so much space in our collective RPG experiences, we often come to the table with preconceived notions about how D&D should be played. I’m here to tell you that it’s not true; you can play this game anyway you like.

In particular, there are any numbers of tools that gamers familiar with ‘story-games’ have in their toolkit, which can be employed during a session of LotFP. As a GM, I have used Fail-Forward, Roll With it, Say Yes or Roll the Dice, Say Yes and …, just to name a few.

I hope that all you, when you play, will remember the lessons you have learned from other games and apply them to playing this game. Just because it’s not written down somewhere, doesn’t mean you can’t use it.
