About Hoogie
π° ππ‘π π²πππ« π°ππ¬ ππππ π° I was introduced to tabletop RPGs in the worst way possible: a level 16 DnD 3.5e adventure with maybe 20 other people and just as much rule books in a loud and crowded mall beside a basketball shootout contest. We did half a battle. ... π π°ππ¬ π‘π¨π¨π€ππ. βββββββββββββββ Hi. I'm Hoogie, and I run games in the OSR style. What's OSR? It's a π§ππ«ππ«ππ‘ of π€π‘π π¨πππ€π€π‘ philosophies and techniques used to run games more free-flow and to invoke creativity, engagement, wonder, and accomplishment. βοΈ face varied challenge levels π solve problems creatively π follow the threads you want π get rewarded for exploration π² accept your fate with random tables If this sounds like your flavor of madness, grab a chair and let's play.

How Hoogie runs games
β οΈ ππππππΌπ β οΈ - If a player creates a situation where they no longer need to roll to succeed, they won't. I also don't like limiting a player through their character sheet. I embrace chaos, but uphold logic. Player ingenuity is rewarded. I also use random tables to surprise myself as much as you. βοΈ πΎπππ½πΌπ βοΈ - Quick and deadly, but telegraphed and avoidable. Running is sometimes the best option. XP is not through successful combat, but through discovery and adversity. πΊοΈ πππππππΌππππ πΊοΈ - Backgrounds are detailed and colorful. I like describing as much of the six senses as the situation allows me. The world constantly evolves whether you take part in that evolution or not. π¬ πππΎππΌπ π¬ - Roleplay is recommended. I also allow cohorts/followers. However, an NPC's outlook towards you can change over time. All NPCs, including monsters, have morale and reaction rolls, as well as motivations and concerns. βββββββββββββββ We'll use my private discord server and my Foundry VTT server hosted at Molten. I like talking a bit before games, usually 5-15 minutes. After your game is done, feel free to stay in my Discord, as you'll get a bunch of announcements regarding new games. If you have friends who might be interested in this sort of thing, please invite them!
