OSR

cross-posted from: https://ttrpg.network/post/41025279

Just ran Gardens of Ynn, the classic depthcrawl adventure by Emmy Allen over the weekend.

I used the cheat sheet from the Eldritch Fields blog which has all of the tables you need to run the adventure.

It's great, but uses the page numbers from the original first edition of Ynn. I was using the newer, purple hardcover edition.

I made my own modified version with the newer page numbers:

What is your favourite lvl 1 starting adventure?

I just ran "Nightmare over Ragged Hollow" by the Merry Mushmen with Moldvay Basic and it was a lot of fun. It's a good starting sandbox with 4 dungeons, a goal and you can easily slap in more content.

Let's get this going.
