Welcome!

-
Hey there, unfortunate soul who came across the page on accident and is probably furiously clicking the Back button, and welcome to Wanderers and Willows! This is an OSR blog by ya boi Sven Weisserfuchs, mostly just to plug my shitty music, 3D art, and occasional useful generator.

"Wanderers and Willows" was the title of a OSR TTRPG I was working on before abandoning it (if somebody else decides to use this name, I won't be too upset). It was more of a pastoral RPG, where characters were small-townsfolk at the very most, and exploring a bright and vivid world of danger. Maybe I'll write up some lore about it sometime, it was kinda sorta interesting.

Don't expect a ton of activity, I'm lazy as fuck and I'll probably end up forgetting this place exists for periods of time.

My Current Campaigns/Settings:

  • Technoir, a post-cyberpunk investigative campaign set in the near-future of New York City.
  • Confluence, a post-apocalyptic fantasy hexcrawl set in a world ravaged by war and a magical mutation storm. Fucking riveting.
  • The Long Halloween, an annual Halloween campaign set in the modern town of Knight's Mills. The town is overrun by movie monsters in 2018, which the player characters barely survived. In 2019, they are now the killers.

I dunno I'm not a very imaginative person.

Secret Santicorn 2019: Three Funhouse Dungeon Rooms!

-
Howdy! This is my gift for one of our Secret Santicorn group members! He asked for a level-0 funhouse dungeon, which was challenging as I'm absolutely horrible with dungeons. That, combined with a lot of stressful holiday stuff, made this particular gift extremely difficult for me. Thankfully, I at least was able to come up with three rooms that you could slap into any wacky dungeon. I hope y'all like it. Have a happy Yuletide! Puzzle Room: "A Safe Place" An opulent, large, cavernous room that has a gigantic safe on the rear wall, promising the unique treasure of the dungeon inside. The floor is wide and circular, and features small marks around the edge of a giant golden circle.  The safe dial reads 1-30. The combination of the safe is hidden in a riddle posted in an adjacent room. The riddle reads: “As we near the end of the yearly cycle, our gods are just and mighty, and give us a gift for our devotion. Truly we are blessed with the present.” The combi...

Security in Fantasy 1: Fleshing Out Heists

-
Every so often, I ask a question in the OSR Discord server . They're always really friendly and helpful with even strange questions. Today I was curious about what they thought about an alternative to the popular Blades in the Dark. I got some really good answers, and when I mentioned I worked in security, some friendly folks were interested in how I would flesh out a heist-style campaign or module. One user in particular (Jojiro from dungeonantology.com ) gave me seven questions to answer. While I'm pretty sure he meant some small answers, I'm overly verbose and tend to go way too much in-depth with my explanations, so here you go. I'm sharing this with the rest of the OSR community so you can take some of this advice in mind if you plan on playing or running a heist-centered game in the future. Keep in mind that I’m working from the perspective of a fantasy-ish world. Not everything in here will be 100% realistic. 1) What is the actual information an ...

Expanding on Ideas: Mall Rats

-
When I read Ratcatcher's pitch for a Maze Rats game set in a procedurally-generated dead mall , I was absolutely enamored with the concept, and had ideas on how to expand on it. So without further ado, here we go. A small part of the mall denizens are made up of people like the PCs: those who are trapped and still have free will. Typically teenagers or young adults, these people have formed themselves into factions resembling social cliques. The goths, the preps, the jocks, etc. Some neckbearded nerds don swords and anime attire, dubbing themselves "mall ninjas". They lord over the others, seemingly within the good graces of security. These factions tend to be somewhat secretive, as security is constantly watching for those who aren't a part of the mall, so finding them out and contacting them may prove to be a difficult task. The majority of mall denizens are "normal people" who walk around and shop. These beings are ghosts of those who have died in...
