Since it's Skeleton month, I'm going to be putting out a few posts on crypts, tombs, etc. Here's the first: a fun-house style dungeon for Cairn (but really for any OSR). ponderthegoose.blogspot.com

It's Skeleton Season. Here's a dungeon. Written for Cairn, but easily adaptable for an OSR of your liking.

A modern day ttrpg set in our world except there's Stands from JoJo, and the Stands are classic fantasy rpg archetypes, ran in a fantasy system of choice. So your character doesn't know magic, but your Stand, a level 14 wizard, does.
Hundreds of Beavers is an OSR where instead of failure = dying, failure = something really funny happens
A lot of people are making their own stuff for Into the Oddish. For those who want to make more types of Pokemon as player characters, I put together some guidelines for how I would design them. It is a lot less formulaic than designing Pokemon as enemies. #ttrpg #osr #pokemon

In honor of Steel Ball Run resumes airing today, I wanna blog about JoJo’s. I promise this is also about TTRPGs: ponderthegoose.blogspot.com/2026/09/my-i...
My Ideal TTRPG would be JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is probably my favorite anime of all time, and with its 7th season, Steel Ball Run, finally airing, I want to gush ...

TTRPG writing, where you can get a lot of play out of one sentence, is the inverse of scientific writing, where a lot of time goes into one sentence. Anyways, I’m looking forward to a week of experiments so I can write “this trend holds under xyz conditions”
Went to a Ren fair this weekend and really need a medieval tourney capsule game in my life
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974) goes hard. Feels like a return to form with a fairly compelling human storyline instead of generic kaiju fights. King Ceasar was way too overhyped tho
Godzilla vs Megalon (1973) is almost entirely reused footage. Makes me wonder how much of a movie you could make by splicing different films from a big franchise like Marvel
Now Godzilla’s 1-on-1 stats have got to be laughable, but you give him a tag team partner, even a useless one, and he becomes nigh unstoppable
Encountered “d20” as a parameter for a scientific instrument, very sad its range was 0.1 -0.01 and not 1-20
One Hundred Odd Acres is now available! erathke.itch.io/one-hundred-... A family friendly Winnie the Pooh hack of Into the Odd by @bastionland.bsky.social. Inspired by Cloud Empress by @worldsbywatt.bsky.social as well. Explore the Hundred Acre Woods!
The Godzilla movies do an Alien genocide surprisingly often
I surveyed 200 players and learned that most OSR games fall into two tiers of lethality - Meatgrinder and Picaresque. Table culture determines lethality more than system or campaign length. valerialoves.com/how-deadly-i...

Big Trouble in Little China is the best DnD movie ever made
I like guns in medieval fantasy ttrpg but get stuck up on the mechanics. Longbows and crossbows feel very same-y already

One of the less acknowledged casualties of the Thirty Minute Description-Masquerading-As-Analysis Video Industrial Complex is that folks who get their media interpretation primarily from those videos seem to end up struggling with the idea that sometimes artists do things on purpose.
The Mushroom Oreo I just had tasted more mushroom than real mushrooms
I statted out all 151 Kanto Pokémon for Into the Oddish, with default movesets for each! My goal was to create a complete reference document analogous to D&D's Monster Manual. It was a lot of work, but hopefully it will ease the burden on all those who wish to run this game. Enjoy! #TTRPG #Pokémon
The Kanto Pokédex for Into the Oddish
I recently went through the laborious and frankly insane process of statting out all 151 original (Kanto region) Pokémon for Into the Oddish...
