WHAT IS OSR/NuSR?
OSR stands for Old School Renaissance (or sometimes Revival). Check out this video from Questing Beast for more information. NuSR is a term often applied to games like Mörk Borg/Pirate Borg, Mothership, Knave, Cairn, and others that have a new school design aesthetic. These games are typically rules-light and focus on "rulings over rules" but aren't exactly D&D clones. Many of Free League Publishing's games aren't technically OSR games as they aren't often based on old school D&D, but their high-quality design and alternate game style have made fans out of many of us.
ABOUT LIMITHRON
I'm Luke Stratton, creator of Pirate Borg, a hack of Mörk Borg published by Free League Publishing. I started this group to meet local OSR-style players and get some games going. I often host playtest games for my upcoming books, like Down Among the Dead and The Dark Caribbean.
