KiwiRPG’s morgue is diving into the old-school #DnD pond with these free and PWYW releases!

Morgan Davie @fromthemorgue.bsky.social · 21d

MORGUE'S BASIC! If you liked Tom Moldvay's Basic D&D pink box from 1981, this is for you: a free set of rules to plug into your game.

This was my first #TTRPG and I love it. These tweaks and extras are my attempt to make it even more itself.
