Free OSR - DragonsFoot.org

Most of you know about DragonsFoot. In the days of forums and bulletin boards, before the coming and waning of blogs, places like DragonsFoot were the place to be. Say what you will about forums, but Facebook, and Discord, and X don't hold a candle to what forums often offer - a static location to upload and download files.

Are you looking for adventures for your OSR campaign and have a tight budget? Let your fingers do their scrolling at DragonsFoot, and you may be amazed at what you find, freely given to the public.

Yes, even I need to remind myself to visit Dragonsfoot on an irregular basis...
