r/osr is a subreddit with 66k members. The community frequently discusses osr, looking for, rpg, art, and maps, and they frequently recommend/review vtt, modules, and movies, and the most common flair used is art, i made a thing, map, blog, and osr adjacent.
This is a subreddit for news and discussion of Old School Renaissance topics. We primarily focus on D&D (LBB, 1st ed. AD&D, etc.) and the retroclones. Other Old School games (Traveller, Runequest, Tunnels & Trolls, et al) are of course open for discussion.
This is *not* a place to rant about how (your least favorite edition) sucks! In fact, I hope discussion arises about how later editions do things right, and how to incorporate them into OSR-styled games.
