THE WEEKLY OSR BLOGROLL
If you have a substack or blog related to old school (or old school adjacent) TTRPGs please post on the r/osr blogroll linked below, and have a look at other links shared as comments on that post

Back in December 2019 I shared a post to r/osr in an attempt to give OSR blogs a regular home following the demise of Google Plus. I tried to post it every week, but I started to slack off… fortunately the mantle was taken up by Shuttered Room and later Xaosseed.
My goal would be that this would become an official, regular feature of the sub and would be regular meeting point for OSR bloggers far and wide. That dream was partially fulfilled when the mods at the sub set it up as an automated post every week. However, that decision was not well received, and many regular posters objected, leading to some debate concerning its purpose.
I’m not really interested in that discussion, but I have seen the blogroll fall in popularity. So: I’d like to take up some of the responsibility for promoting this cool community resource again.
The death of google plus and the curious state of Twitter tells us that TTRPGs need a more complex, more connected ecology of platforms rather than discrete, molecular outposts. I’m interested to hear what platforms you are most comfortable in (outside of this one) and to think how we can look at strengthening those connections. In the meantime, please share far and wide; post your blogs, newsletters and podcasts and lets help this niche sector of the hobby thrive!
