Old school feel with modern sensibilities: Chromatic Dungeons

July 3, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

June 25, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chromatic Dungeons TTRPG. Bringing the old school feel of TSR era gaming into the modern community. That is, an OSR clone, with the feel of old school gaming, but with modern sensibilities of game design applied, and to be presented to be welcoming and representative of just how diverse our gaming community has become since the 80s.
