Sounding Out G+ OSR Communities

Postby gentleman john » Sun Nov 03, 2013 11:46 am

I know that there are some OSR communities out there on G+. Does anyone have any recommendations as to which ones are:

a) active;
b) reasonably sociable?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, this response may be a bit dated but

the ones I see the most active are B/X D&D , Vintage Role Playing Games, Original Dungeons & Dragons (OD&D) and OSR (with 2071 members).

Labyrinth Lord has 471 members currently.

Sorry I don't know how to link to them. If you want to add me PM me thanks and Happy Holidays

Thanks for the pointers. I'll point the browser towards them to have a look-see.

Honestly, most of the best OSR chatter isn't happening in the communities, it's happening directly in people's public feeds. Once you've circled some of the core G+ OSR types, you'll find a lot of OSR chatter in your feed and from there I add people who's comments I like.
