In my latest Saturday Night Livestream I talked about Star Adventurer (& my campaign), Mearls back at D&D, and why Inappropriate Characters might be breaking up; plus lots of generic talk about OSR and D&D stuff too.
I always play D&D or OSR RPGs using the "theater of the mind", I've never been a minis+battlemat guy.
But I've noticed that some people just throw all kinds of context out of the window when they claim to be using that method, making a surreal and non-emulative type of combat. So in my latest video I wanted to share some advice on how to handle Theater of the Mind combat, and to make sure it isn't just an excuse to go all loosey-goosey on the rules.
So Star Adventurer, my complete Space Opera OSR RPG issued as RPGPundit Presents #100, has just hit Copper Bestseller in under 24 hours!
This 40-page RPG is a compact set of full rules for running space-opera adventures in the style of late-70s/early-80s sci fi. Its character creation and advancement rules are based on Lion & Dragon, and it's compatible with any OSR or classic DnD products. It includes rules on archetypal aliens, psychic/space-magic powers/"forces", high-tech equipment, starship combat, and options for grittier action or a default more cinematic style. Its a perfect rule-set for you to apply to the space-opera setting of your choice! So be sure to pick up RPGPundit Presents #100: Star Adventurer from DTRPG! You can get the PDF for just $3.99, or the PDF+Print edition for just $9.99!
And while you're at it be sure to check out all our previous issues, where you'll find tons of OSR medieval-authentic and Gonzo/Weird-Fantasy goodness!

Tonight, 7pm Central, the launch party for RPGPundit Presents 100: Star Adventurer! I'll be talking about my newest #ttrpg (an #osr space opera game), and also the new #dnd boss Ray Winninger, and also probably some politics. Be there or be square!
Matt Mercer of Critical Role is a super nice guy, he let's us know that all the time. And he told the "D&D Community" to #believeallwomen in the past. So when is going to tell us that now about Creepy Joe?
