Bodo Heye<p>Thanks to our <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/osr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>osr</span></a> open table, I had the opportunity today to test my historically inspired <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/hexcrawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hexcrawl</span></a> (still in early development): Late Medieval Fantastic Campaign – Frisia Orientalis. It was fun. My impression is that the approach of merging historical information (NW Germany around 1400 CE) with elements from local folklore let to a pretty gameable result. For the playtest, we used Greg Saunders’ Warlock! rules system. First time I ran a game of Warlock!
