If you’re interested in seeing what the buzz is all about and trying an OSR game for yourself, these are the best places to start; rules-light, stylish, unbeatably quick to get to the table, and in some cases, very familiar.
You may have heard of D100s before, whether it’s rolling on a wild magic table while playing D&D, or in passing when games such as Call of Cthulu or Cyberpunk Red come up in conversation. While the sheer volume of numbers you can roll may sound intimidating, rolling a D100 just involves two ten-sided dice: a D10 and a percentile die (shaped like the image above), both of which are included in any standard rpg dice set.
Every Professional GM asks themselves the same questions: What if my players don’t like my games? How do I know if I’m doing a good job? What if I’m not good enough? Answering these questions can be very difficult as each of these are very subjective. Each GM has their own style, resources and preferences. What works for one, may not work for another. Listening to “Dos and Don’ts” is a good start but runs into the problem of subjectivity once the fluff is finished.
