I'd be delighted to tussle about whether system does or does not matter just as soon as someone can give me a definition of system that includes all systems and excludes all non-systems

Over/Under made it so I've had to explain what "the OSR" is to a lot of people so I will say this one more time in public instead of private.
At the circus I work at there is a short clown who is hot under his makeup. Due to the angle I saw him do a specific dance move I know he's hung. That's OSR.

I'll savor @lukegearing.bsky.social whenever I please tho, real sloppy style, and you can't stop me 😎

Kill Luke Gearing by The Cosmic Chill A game about fulfilling the 14th principle.

i think part of this is that most actual plays will only ever feature a single system, so there's fewer opportunities for the system to shine and be represented as a unique player?

Why is Australia banning social media for teenagers? Critics say new law is 'normalising surveillance' for young people and risks cutting them off from support networks.

All forms of age-gating are “a privacy nightmare that burdens the civil liberties of people both young and old,” EFF’s @aaronmackey.bsky.social told @AlJazeera.com, forcing all to share sensitive information that could be abused or hacked. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1...

I think sometimes its important to draw a dragon the way your 9 year old self would have appreciated. Look at her. Shes dreadful. What a splendid beast.

They are saying that she is "the lisan al gaib of OSR". They cry it in the streets. She will know our ways as if she was born to them. The Jongleur profession has a high strength stat but starts with 1d100 useless "kings coins" which are not even made of Electrum. She has won every award.

Disgusted by the number of people on here who regularly try to stop Mr. Domino.

I have posted too close to the sun, the hogs bay, pigs in the mud wiggle and writhe. I have been forced to write An OCR, and will be doing it in as strange a way as I can manage.
