Welcome to /osrg/, /tg/'s bastion of "Gygax-era" TSR D&D, third-party products (3PP), Retroclones, and "fantasy heartbreaker" modifications.
This thread focuses on games and content using principles, rulesets, and mechanics that rely directly on or cleave close to how D&D was set up between its initial 1974 release and the mid-80s. Some important core ideas:
1. Players are motivated via core concepts like XP-for-Gold, not "story milestones", fetch quests, or predetermined large scale plots. This also guides the DM in prep.
2. "Character builds" do not exist. Player Characters develop organically, not via statistical selections.
3. To survive an uncaring, living world where the DM tracks time strictly and monsters wander the wilderness and dungeon halls, players should be relying on hirelings, logistics, and their wits to approach problems - which includes both parlaying and running away! Not every encounter is meant to be "won", and the DM is encouraged to use tables that have a chance - however small - of a party meeting something truly terrifying.

As always, when in doubt, lurk moar.
Note that this means /osrg/ is intentionally more limited in scope than many other "OSR" locales online. If your preferred game system doesn't fit, there are often other threads up which are more appropriate, or you can start one yourself! Please check the catalog before posting >>>/tg/catalog
