Hello World, and other such greetings

 There's first times for everything and the best way to learn how to use things is to prod at them and see what happens, so this is exactly that.

I've recently gotten myself sucked down the OSR rabbithole after looking for something with a less cartoony feeling than the unfortunately few dnd 5e games that I've been taking part in, and managed to find some reviews for Lamentations of the Flame Princess. The system promised things that I was looking for in roleplaying games myself, deadly combat for both sides involved and a world that wouldn't be scaled to the players if they decide to poke their heads into the wrong place.

I thus grew more interested in the whole OSR sub-genre within ttrpgs and have been stumbling my way forwards in this space to the point of recently getting to referee an adventure into Tower of the Stargazer module for few of my friends, whom I'm now following with great interest on their first outing to this type of games.

And with that I've also found myself here after a night of socialising on discord and atleast one person telling me they would be interested to take a peek inside my head. So join me as I prod around and work out how to use this thing, learn to write comprehensible blocks of text, as well as for what ever weirdness will spill out of my head.

So far I've got a oneshot that I've been working on that explores an idea about mermaids, a hack on the LotFP elf class into a warlock-esque one inspired by a blogpost all the way from 2014, as well as some old world building notes from way back that had a few interesting ideas buried into them that I would like to explore.
