OSR Resources?

[GothmogIV]

Hello, friends! I am looking for some recommendations for OSR resources: Youtube channels, websites, blogs, whatevah (in my Massachusetts accent). Thank you!
(if there is a way to tag this post with OSR, I don't know what it is).

Much of the foundational OSR stuff is in blogs - here's a good list:

A wiki with many, many OSR house rules.

The foundational documents to the OSR are widely considered the Principia Apocrypha and the Quick Primer for Old School Gaming.

There is a thriving community over on Reddit and another on Discord.

For my money, the top three OSR YouTube channels are Questing Beast, Dungeon Craft, and Bandit's Keep.

There's an expansive blog roll here and Questing Beast does a newsletter that has lots of great info.

Third Kingdom does a great news roundup thread that brings together news from the scene.

A great place to start is just looking through the Questing Beast YouTube channel for anything that looks interesting.

I think the Between Two Cairns podcast is also great.

Recently I've been listening to...

Daddy Rolled a 1 – lots of D&D history, but mixed in with OSR philosophy, experience, and nifty ideas; I believe Martin, the vlogger, is a former RPG designer just based on his deep industry knowledge

Daddy Rolled a 1

A blog about a dad raising a geek girl. D&D, RPGs, comics, Star Wars, science fiction, fantasy, board games.

D&D History, DM Advice, & TTRPG Reviews I've been playing tabletop RPGs since 1981 and reading comic books even longer. Here I'll talk about TTRPGs, Comics, Fantasy, Science-Fiction and other Geek Stuff, including product reviews, game history, and details on the 1981 Moldvay Basic ("B/X")...

Hexed Press – some are hit and miss, but Daniel (iirc, apologies if I'm getting names mixed up) is doing a really interesting long-form series on bringing ideas from BECMI selectively into OSE or B/X, and along the way he has some good insights and interesting house rules ideas, and a few zine reviews

Well, I am tooting my own horn a bit here, but Fight On! is a great OSR resource - we were in fact one of the first to use and popularize the term "Old School Renaissance" - but, more importantly, we're back!

This collection of things for The Black Hack is rather impressive.

 

[Cruentus]

3d6 Down the Line Youtube Channel where they have been playing through the Halls of Arden Vul (85 sessions thus far), and had quite a few in Dolmenwood during the Dolmenwood Kickstarter. Lots of OSR discussion, actual gameplay, mapping, and links to house rules used in their campaigns.
