It really makes sense of D&D groups that award XP for loot even before selling it - clearly all denizens of fantasy worlds can just see the value of treasure hovering above it in yellow numbers.

I am rereading The Hobbit. Here is Thorin talking about dragons:
"Dragons steal gold and jewels ... and never enjoy a brass ring of it. Indeed they hardly know a good bit of work from a bad, though they usually have a good notion of the current market value" (pg 28 in my Harper Collins paperback).
I love the idea of monstrous dragons who hoard valuables for no reason... But of course know how much it goes for on eBay.

and in fact Links to Wisdom wiki also is still available on here
(I spent so much time on that place tryign to find interesting #osr content)
Popped up past 50 followers so I've spruced up the page and added some info about the VTT modules!
Which of the Winnie and Pooh crew are you keenest to play?
3d6 DTL Arden Vul Ep 105! Teleporting for fun and profit continues apace! Evidence of the great upheaval in the Rudishvan Hegemony lies scattered in the AV Club's path, as they penetrate deep into the areas once demarcated for the Varuda servitor species!

Just because, a dozen angelic hosts for Lindwyrm or pretty much any other OSRish ruleset, honestly --
3d6 DTL Arden Vul Ep 104! The rudishva set strange multi-armed guardians in places they didn't want disturbed, and the AV Club discovers this the hard way. Plus, a malign ichor has scoured the flesh from adventurers past; let's see if the party suffers the same fate!

Pretty impressive "campaign generator", from the overland hex map to NPCs to dungeon maps etc. (Written in Rust, BTW)

Was geht bei euch #pnpde mäßig an diesem Wochenende?
Ich leite heute eine Runde #Dolmenwood am Tisch () als Geburtstagsgeschenk für einen Freund - zwischendurch gehen wir in der Dorfschenke essen. Wird sicher schön.
Morgen Abend leite ich dann eine Runde #OSE an unserem #osr online Open Table. Ich möchte mein maritimes Folk Horror Abenteuer „How to love a Spiderperson?“ testspielen.

Yeah, the conservative Christian wankery is too much. This is definitely going on eBay, unless someone here wants it. I made it 96 pages in, but I'm done.

Review of 'Appendix N: Weird Tales From The Roots Of Dungeons & Dragons'
http://falsemachine.blogspot.com/2025/03/a-review-of-appendix-n-weird-tales-from.html
This is what swords & sorcery fantasy role-playing is supposed to be about. THIS STUFF. And you do have to read to learn it.
Of course I've read all these, often in shitty paperbacks from the '60s-80s. But a nice collection for those who haven't!

3d6 DTL Arden Vul Ep 103! Who cares about launching a spaceship when a tantalizing sarcophagus is just sitting there asking to be desecrated? Never a party to turn down an opportunity to get distracted, the AV Club showcases some divine might against the restless dead!

I'm reading #GodsoftheForbiddenNorth volume 1. I'm really not enjoying the "there's one true God, all the others are lesser or demons. If you're lawful, you worship this one God, no other, from the dominant benevolent empire & culture that's been around for 2,000 years" aspect of the setting.
It's a real turnoff, and had I actually gotten around to reading this I probably wouldn't have backed vol 2 or 3...
I'm gonna keep reading, but... Giving it a big side eye.
