In-Person Old-School
Forgot to mention that I recently got in my first in-person B/X game for over a year. It was also the first time I’d gamed in-person with my son since about 2015. So it was great. Also the first time … Continue reading

Character Sheet for B/X and OSE
Here is my one-sided sheet for my Kilgore’s Advanced Old-School Essentials (KAOSE) game. It uses the letter codes from OSE for saving throws and abilities, but should be usable in almost any oldschool D&D game. It’s very basic, which is … Continue reading
