Roleplaying Games
Mörk Borg + Troika!: D&D for the Enlightened
Reject Tradition. Embrace Death Metal and Cubism.
“the osr is a movement that exists mostly on reddit at this point and tbh they can have it”
For those of you that just joined us, OSR stands for Old School Roleplaying. It basically means anything that’s like Dungeon & Dragons. Old school is fine, but OSR-ians that think the “R” means Renaissance are insufferable. And if they pronounce it “ri - NAY - suhns” like in the UK but aren’t from the UK, doubly so.
But, for as much as I shit on OSR, I have to admit that some designers are doing interesting things with the bones of AD&D. The last few years have brought us The Mecha Hack, Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells, and Macchiato Monsters, all of which have broken a lot of the established OSR conventions. But if I was giving out awards for Most Interesting OSR Games for Medium Readers, the first two would go to Mörk Borg and Troika!.
