An Ocean of Old School Adventures!
About the Project
First, Telecanter asked:
what if there were one page islands and people wrote a bunch of them? Then you might have a campaign that you could pick and choose from a variety of isles.
Then Planet Algol mused about whether or not the OSR could produce a Paizo-esque "Adventure Path," rightly surmising that:
There's no reason that an Adventure Path has to be a tasteless save-the-world railroad. It can be a series of interconnected sandbox-ish environments with an overarching narrative. A picaresque pulp serial instead of Dragonlance.
Then Paul Gorman at Quickly, Quietly, Carefully posted this call to action:
Will anyone join me in jump starting the island hopping "Sea of O'sr" project with a 3-hour islet?
And thus, The Sea of O'sr: An Ocean of Old School Adventures is engaged in an ongoing quest for 3-Hour Islet submissions. There is some vague consensus around generating the islet maps on a roughly 360'-per-hex scale, but nothing is set in stone -- anything goes!
