One of the best let's play examples of old school play!

3D6DTL is so good, their Dolmenwood series motivated me to start Refereeing my own campaign after a 10 year hiatus from RPGs.

They represent something close to the platonic ideal of OSR play for me.

    Same here! I'd given up on GMing for a few years but this made me want to get back into it.

    I never GMed back in the day, felt like I didn't have the creative chops to do it.

    B/X, rulings and rules, procedures, random tables and published adventures changed all that for me.

    I am forever grateful to the OSR for rekindling this flame.

    I'm exactly the same! The procedural style of gameplay takes so much self-imposed pressure off my shoulders, and random tables really help spark my creativity and allows me to GM more comfortably.

    3D6DTL is a wonderful podcast! I love the proactive attitude from the players, the ever-present "yes and" attitude from Jon, and just the style and mood overall!

    As they say, they are criminally underwatched.

    But they are recommended a lot in the different OSR communities! So hopefully that will change.

    I really hope so, that's why I posted it here!

    Arden Vul looks so cool, I can't wait to get a copy for myself.

    I know what you mean! When Arden Vul was in that 25 euro bundle a while ago, I skipped it because it didn't seem feasible or fun to run. Now that 3DSDTL have been running it, I regret not buying it so cheaply back then!

    Looks like you can get the hardcovers for ~200 USD, which includes the PDFs. Or the PDFs only for 109 USD. 25 EUR would have been a steal!
