[OSR/Fantasy] What is in the Cauldron?

Imagine the characters find a cauldron in a dungeon that is populated with strange or maniacal creatures: goblins, orcs, witches, ghouls, crazies, fairy, etc. Want something „nice“ to surprise your plays with? Or an idea for something surprisingly mundane? Here we go. Just remember: the lit is on the cauldron. The characters have to open […]

[OSR/Fantasy] What else a Mimic may look like

Mimics. I only know them from D&D, and I love them as much as I hate them. Mean little cases of shape-changing pure-GM-malice-reasoned-into-existence-by-magic whose saving grace is them being iconic and the gag that their (clever) placement might result in. „Oh! … a mimic.

Gregorius21778 June 2026 UPDATE

It has been a while again. Half of the year, more or less. I really cannot call these „monthly updates“ anymore, but I shall still try to go on. I change my modus operandi from „middle of the month“ to „start of the month“. Yet, it will not be more than one update per month. […]

Gallagher. In the past, Paul was kind enough to answer some of my questions regarding Cybrids, Biocops, Transmission Cops, Datasocialist […]
