limithron.com/rpgclubWHAT IS OSR/NuSR?
OSR stands for Old School Renaissance (or sometimes Revival). Check out this video from Questing Beast. NuSR is a term often applied to games like Mörk Borg/Pirate Borg, Mothership, Knave, Cairn, and other games that have a new school design aesthetic, and are typically rules-light and focus on "rulings over rules", but aren't exactly D&D clones. Many of Free League Publishing's games aren't technically OSR games as they aren't often based on old school D&D, but the high quality design and alternate game style game have made fans out of many of us.ABOUT LIMITHRON
I'm Luke Stratton, and I made Pirate Borg, a hack of Mörk Borg. It's forthcoming from Free League Publishing, and the game has already shipped to Kickstarter backers and people that preordered.I started this group to meet local OSR-style players and get some games going. I often host playtest games for my next book, The Dark Caribbean.
