Lizard Hunters

A one-shot OSR dungeon crawler about looting lizardmanly lairs.

Lizardman bandits have been raiding merchant caravans in the area. You and your hardy team of adventurers, for whatever reason, have been tasked with finding and eliminating the bandits so trade can begin flowing again.

 

This game is intended to be a short, one-page-dungeon-styled dungeon crawl, using the Old-School Essentials system, the free SRD of which can be found here: OSE SRD. As such, new players are encouraged to try it out.

 

What I'd like to see in players:

• Post frequency. I will move the action forward in 72 hours if no posts. Don't feel obligated to post if you don't want to do anything, although a quick "I do nothing" would be appreciated.
• Light to medium roleplay. I expect PCs to act in-character and appreciate good RP, but don't expect posts to be particularly detailed; just a description of what the PC is doing with enough detail for me to adjudicate a response is sufficient. Think third-person omniscient rather than limited.
• No PvP. All PCs are assumed to have been adventuring together long enough that they're worked out their differences in a calm, professional manner that did not involve pillow cases and bars of soap.

 

My style:

• RP-light. Not terse, but not particularly detailed either.
• Combat may use battlemaps, depending on whether I feel the situation warrants one. I come from a wargaming background, so I'm more likely to opt for one than not.
• I will be using a dungeon map for this game; if no players are interested in taking on a mapping role, I will make one myself.
• I'm OK with rules or thematic debates, but in the interest of time I may make a final ruling in the moment to move on.
