FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about what this site is—and is not.
Is OSR Crate a subscription box storefront?
No. It is an orientation desk about Old School Revival / Renaissance dungeon and wilderness play. We do not list fake prices or inventory.
Where should a brand-new player begin?
Read Getting Started, skim the glossary, then try one short scenario. Public primers like Old School Revival on Wikipedia help with lineage.
Do you host actual-play video?
Not on this domain. We point to community and publisher channels from the Resources and Community pages.
Can I reuse these articles?
Quote briefly with attribution and a link back. For wholesale reuse, email [email protected].
How do you pick outbound links?
We favor encyclopedias, official publisher pages, and established hobby blogs such as DriveThruRPG blog.
Is this affiliated with the trademark holders of every game mentioned?
Mentions are descriptive for orientation. Check each publisher's licensing pages before publishing your own commercial work.
Pacing, consent, and prep load deserve session-zero time—same as the character sheet.
One-page house rulings. Repeat calls get written so the table trusts the process.
Primary OSR histories and designer blogs beat anonymous 'OSR explained' threads.
