Interest check: Into the Odd

Bastion is the only city that matters. In its industrial age, it sits as the smoke-shrouded hub of mankind, surrounded by a world of lurking horrors and cosmic interference. The Underground spreads beneath our feet and the stars loom above. You are an Explorer, braving places too far for maps and too old for records. Your expeditions touch the bizarre, wondrous, and horrific. You search for riches, but also Arcana, mysterious devices with unnatural powers.

As we rapidly approach the explosive finale of our game of Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, I would like to begin the process of spinning up the next: a one-shot for Into the Odd, specifically the Remastered edition.

Into the Odd is a "rules-light, flavour-heavy" OSR/NSR-style game by designer Chris McDowell (Electric Basionland, Mythic Bastionland). It features an incredibly evocative world and ruleset, one that strikes me would work very well in PbP.

You can find out more, and download a 22-page preview of the book, here on the Kickstarter page for the 2021 remaster. There's also a piece on Dicebreaker here which nicely captures what I like about the game.

I'll turn this into a recruitment thread if there is enough interest, so do feel free to let me know if you would be up for it, or if you have any questions.

In short, I am interested. I’ve never played this particular system, but I have enough general role-playing experience that I should be able to pick it up reasonably quickly. And the marketing blurb of industrial and cosmic horror with the rules-light and flavor-heavy role-playing sounds like it is right up my alley.

I'm interested.

Looks intriguing. Mark me as interested.

One of my favorite games. Color me curious.

I’m interested

I love Into the Odd and will always play when offered!

Interested! The article you linked had really cool insight on this system

Thanks, all! That's great. I'll tag you all once things are ready to get going.

If there’s room for one more I’d love to play! If not, keep me in mind for the next game. I’m familiar with the system. We did a one shot (the adventure in the remaster) in my irl playgroup and I’ve played it solo with mythic.

I'll let you know when the recruitment thread is up!

Yay!

I'd be interested in checking this out if there's room. I've never played it, but I'm sure I could get into it.

I'm throwing in my interest here too.
