We're playing open-table RPGs using various cross-compatible OSR-type rule sets and we always have room for more players. Games are weekdays from 8:15 pm to 10:00 pm Berlin-ish time and run in German or English depending on who is playing. We play via Jitsi or Galene or Discord or whatever. Cameras can be off although some of us like making weird faces at each other. These are "real-time" games as in one actual day is one game day. So there's usually enough time for characters to "heal up" a good bit before the next session. I cannot believe that there are no "I wanna play but I have no current group..." people left out there, that was me for the longest time before I found this bunch. We've got your group right here! Just join us for a game or three... https://campaignwiki.org/wiki/MontagInZ%c3%bcrich/HomePage #opentable #rpg #osr #realtime

is the page for the games on the Grenzland (Borderlands) server
(most of them are #opentable so can be joined even when not previously involved)
Old school D&D: The Monday Games, Glimmermark.
Anime und Manga: Knochentanz.
Fantasy Traveller: Ultraviolet Grasslands.
About six months after wrapping it up, I think back on my attempt to run a Shadowdark Barrowmaze open-table game, what did I enjoy and what could I have done better?
Wer bei uns am #OnlineOpenTable mitspielen möchte, wir suchen insbesondere noch weitere SL. Wir spielen mit dem Regelwerk von #ShadowdarkRPG und sind old-schoolig unterwegs.
Wir haben einen Kontinent mit verschiedenen Regionen, wo ihr euch austoben könnt. Platz für weitere ist immer irgendwo.
Das Gute am #OpenTable: Es gibt keine Verpflichtung, jedesmal mitzuspielen oder regelmäßig was anzubieten. Hop-on, hop-off.
Mehr Info im Wiki: https://campaignwiki.org/wiki/Valravn/Startseite – oder pingt mich gern hier an. 
Ich bereite das #Ravenloft-#Abenteuer #DarkOfTheMoon aus den Neunzigern für unseren #OpenTable #Valravn vor. Freue mich sehr, endlich mal was ohne Werwölfe! 
#pnpde #Rollenspiel
Lots of new areas opened up in tonight's Barrowmaze game with @cidney @kyonshi and a third non-fedified player. Sadly not a lot of treasure and maybe too many random encounters. But they be random, so 
? #barrowmaze #opentable
Heute war ich im MRT, habe danach eine Hyaluron-Spritze in die verletzte linke Schulter bekommen, dann noch einen Anruf vom Hausarzt, dass noch eine Corona-Impfdosis übrig war (rechter Arm), gleich kommt der Nikolaus zu uns und dann geht's am #Valravn #opentable nach #ArdenVul und irgendwann ins Bett.
Kann ich als ereignisreich abhaken, den Tag 
Schon krass. Als ich mit meinem #opentable angefangen habe, war ich etwas skeptisch, ob das funktioniert mit wechselnden Spielern. Jetzt ist die Anmeldung für Oktober gerade 48h Stunden alt und der Tisch ist voll. Das Feedback ist klar: Viele Leute würden gerne #ttrpg spielen, aber finden den Einstieg nicht. Ich bin äußerst dankbar für die vielen netten Menschen, denen ich diesen Einstieg ermöglichen konnte und die neuen Freunde, die ich dabei kennen lernen durfte. Auf zu neuen Abenteuern! #dnd
Oh boy, ich freue mich schon so sehr auf Donnerstag.
Vor Corona gab es in Köln ein mal im Monat eine Open Table Veranstaltung. Dort habe ich Profis aus allen fotografischen Bereichen kennengelernt, dazu einen meiner Lieblingsfotografen. Und ich habe dort mehr gelernt, als bei allen anderen Foto-Veranstaltungen ever.
Ich hatte schon die Hoffnung aufgegeben, nun geht es endlich wieder weiter.
I wonder if I really need to do a session report all the time. Maybe I am going to make this a short regular thing where I am going to go through all the sessions each month and just briefly run down who played, what happened, who died, and what notable things they got.
Session 2 had them delve into Castle Dyson again, at first somewhat hindered by a pack of wild dogs that decided to make a feast out of the goblins they left lying around the week before…
(ohhh, I need to define them better, I see it now, it’s a special breed of dogs that came after most humans left the area after the fall of the Empire… They are called Glimmerdogs, and clearly they are hardy enough to survive in the horrendous wilderness of the Glimmermark)
… but they were quickly shooed away, and made no problems, full of goblin meat as they were.
Below they started to investigate the other direction than last time when they killed the local goblins, managed to hide away when some more goblins came by, despoiled a gravesite, and fought a group of half-formed skeletons.
In the end they came away with quite a lot of treasure.
Session 3 started similar, only they noticed someone had at least moved the goblin bodies to the side. They delved a bit further into the first level, despoiled some more graves, tried to find some treasure, fough a rather hardy zombie/mummy hidden in a sarcophagus, and then decided to explore deeper into an opening of a cave system where they found another exit, and a group of easily killed giant rats. There also was a some hissing sound when they tried to go a different direction, but that they left alone for now. They left through the lower exit, with rather less spoils altogether (mostly a bunch of copper and silver coins), although they gained their first magic weapon from the one undead they fought.
We were using mipui for mapping, which was fine, even though it was a bit fiddly. Dyson’s maps are a bit difficult to map at the best of times, and this one had a natural cave system with dimensions that were simply not easy to describe and/or depict in mipui. In the end it worked, but it took somewhat longer than it could have.
One of the things I find nice about the games on the Grenzland server is that they are generally time-limited to just two hours, which fits much better with an adult’s life than a lot of games that go longer, but just need more time commitment. In comparison to the standard 3-4 hours of my Shadowrun game these games are much less draining for me. Now don’t get me wrong, I love roleplaying, and I like DMing, but a normal roleplaying session is emotionally exhausting for me. This particular style of gaming is much less so.
Alex’ Reports for Session 2 and Session 3
Open Table: If you are interested in a very basic OSR-game, this game is intended as an open table, and iI try to have one session each week on Tuesday (sometimes Wednesday), so maybe sign up for it on the Grenzland Discord server or our IRC network. Games are German or English, 120minuts, and take place at 8.15pm
Spending the evening doing some work on my Shadowdark Barrowmaze open-table game.
Ich habe mir jetzt mal die #MausRitter Box von @systemmatters gekauft, nur damit Ihr es wisst 
Nachdem der #OpenTable zu #Valraven meine #pnpde Leidenschaft wieder angekurbelt hat, brauche ich langsam aber sicher wieder ne Tischrunde 
A volte i giocatori di #gdr fanno qualcosa di così imprevedibile, e così strano, che porta noi #gm a improvvisare l'intera meccanica di risoluzione dell'incontro.
Proprio quello che è successo, una decina di giorni fa, nella mia campagna #opentable online (di #dnd altamente personalizzato)
Un PG ha incautamente attivato un frammento di artefatto e si è fatto risucchiare in uno squarcio dimensionale!

In today's episode I'm talking about my experiences running Barrowmaze as a Shadowdark open-table game and podcasts I've been enjoying listening to recently:
Am Abend geht es in #Valravn am #OpenTable wieder nach #Dunkelheim, der ravenloftigen Horrorregion.
Ein unheimlicher Monolith im Svalich Wald soll untersucht werden – was es damit wohl auf sich hat?
OpenTable says it won't allow anonymous reviews anymore. In an email to those who've previously posted comments, the reservations platform said the goal of including first names and photos on all reviews was to "give you even greater confidence in the reviews — and when booking a new restaurant.” Initial reports said that old reviews would be retroactively updated, but after a user backlash, these will remain anonymous. Here's more from Bleeping Computer. What do you think of the plan to remove anonymity from reviews?
Your anonymous #OpenTable #reviews will soon display your first name
On 22 May, anonymous reviews will display users first names for “transparency.” This also will apply retroactively.
So, if you’ve ever posted an anonymous review on the site and don’t want your name displayed, you may want to delete your reviews.
Your #anonymous #OpenTable reviews will soon display your first name
The company has announced a new #review policy, which it will apply to old posts retroactively.
#privacy #tos
@dnddeutsch yeah but I was thinking something much more immediate.
something along the lines of "hey I wanna run a game right now or at least soon, who wants to play?"
of course that makes more sense with the low-buy in style of osr games, where creating a character is a matter of minutes.
although I guess one could just offer pregens.
then just post it with a tag like I dunno... #opentable or something like that.
I'm recruiting players and GMs for an open table game of Invisible Sun, if anyone's interested.
