**WHAT IS OSR/NuSR?**
**OSR** stands for **O**ld **S**chool **R**enaissance (or sometimes **R**evival). Check out [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRVJNkOObIU&ab_channel=QuestingBeast) from Questing Beast for more information. *NuSR* is a term often applied to games like Mörk Borg/Pirate Borg, Mothership, Knave, Cairn, and others that have a new school design aesthetic. These games 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 their high-quality design and alternate game style have made fans out of many of us.

**ABOUT LIMITHRON**
I'm Luke Stratton, creator of Pirate Borg, a hack of Mörk Borg published by Free League Publishing. I started this group to meet local OSR-style players and get some games going. I often host playtest games for my upcoming books, like *Down Among the Dead* and *The Dark Caribbean*.
