Who remembers the BELKER? They've been extinct in #dnd since 3rd edition, I think—more than 20 years since an official appearance in a Monster Manual. I'm bringing them back, with a twist, in THE MIST GALLERIES, the next level of the Drowned Labyrinth. #OSR #OSE

What's REALLY COOL about the Mist Galleries (in my opinion) is that they sit directly above the Unfinished Halls—and there are many places for the two levels to interact. Probably need to use a second colour to make it more readable, though. Suggestions? #osr #ose #ttrpgs #cartography

Finally worked out who's at the bottom of the Drowned Labyrinth. He'd been 'the Prisoner' in my notes for ages, and I'd really never decided what that meant. PART 7: what he is, the cult trying to wake him, and why you can't actually kill him. scrollforinitiative.com/2026/06/06/b... #ose #dnd #osr

I finally have it! Hennet, the iconic human sorcerer from #dnd 3rd edition. This mini is 26 years old... Now I'm scared about opening it... #minipainting #ttrpgs

Never seen this 3rd edition concept art before! Kobolds, urds, trogs, and lizardfolk. Not sure urds made it to the final Monster Manual in the end. Credit: Sam Wood #dnd #ttrpg

Warforged titan! Done, I think? #minipainting #Eberron

I've been enjoying shading the Autumn Lands hexmap from @dysonlogos.bsky.social! No idea what I'm going to do with it yet, but hey, it's therapeutic as hell

@thetimes.com I'm sure you'll be reporting on the disgusting antisemitism in today's cartoon from (checks notes) your paper (With apologies to @zackpolanski.bsky.social who doesn't deserve this trash)

Anyone remember the Star Wars Saga Edition? I thought it was one of best d20 games to come out in the 2000s. It really felt 'finished' and polished.

Session 4 tonight of the wonderful NIGHTMARE OVER RAGGED HOLLOW by @josephrlewis.bsky.social. The party have got what they need from Windler House and have just hired their first retainer: Doug the sheep. #OSE #OSR

I did a map! Very old-school . . . you can still see the graph paper! The UNFINISHED HALLS are nearly finished. Hopefully publishing tonight on Patreon :) #OSE #OSR #dnd #ttrpgs

And another one: an #OSR interpretation of a water mephit. Not sure if this one feels a bit too '5e' ish.

#OSR gang! Thoughts on the stat block below? Inspired by Skyrim's dwarven centurions. #OSE

Boss fight 1 of 3: Malgorath, the great red wyrm.

I *promise* I'm working on the Unfinished Halls (the name is starting to become unintentionally ironic, though). The minimalism of the #OSR takes some getting used to, but I'm fairly happy with how it's looking so far. Treasure is such a big part of #OSE that I want to get it right later.

Owlbear! One of my favourite monsters, but I've never painted one until now! Bashed it out in about 20 mins—a mix of drybrushing and wetblending with a tiny bit of wash on the claws. Just needs a base and maybe a bit of wash in the shadows 🦉🐻 #dnd #5e #osr #ttrpgs

Today I learned that gricks did not exist in #dnd before 3rd edition. Huh. I always assumed they were classic dungeon monsters like rust monsters and grells. Guess not!

How it's going. Changed my mind about the coast to the east. Don't know if the placement of the mire makes sense. Or the settlement tbh. But it feels right?

Time to hexcrawl! #osr #dnd #ttrpg

Anyone remember the Fantasy Series 1 minis from Black List Games? I use them pretty much every weekend. I backed the Kickstarter for Fantasy Series 2 back in April 2021, and they were meant to be delivered in 2022. It's now nearly 2026, and they're JUST getting released now...

I'm nearly at gold on DriveThru RPG! I'm going to do an article about the next project if I hit 501 sales 😱 Here's a clue: #ttrpg #dnd #5e #osr #ose

How easily do we think this 3rd #dnd edition adventure would convert to #OSE? The level range suggests it's meant for quite high-level characters. Forgive me: I've never read it! It's a classic, I know, I know. #ttrpg #OSR

#OldSchoolEssentials fans: should I get the two box sets now or wait for the updated advanced tome in 2026? #osr #ttrpgs

Damnit! I've hidden The Campaign Handbook by mistake while trying to check the sale report... 😭 Help me @drivethrurpg.com, you're my only hope!

Alas, after my brief moment in the sun, I am back to no 2 behind the unstoppable juggernaut that is @daggerheartrpg.bsky.social 🥲 @darringtonpress.bsky.social #ttrpg #5e #dnd

😱 #dnd #5e #ttrpgs

Erm, sorry, what? 😱 #dnd #5e #ttrpg @drivethrurpg.com
