The simplicity and straightforwardness of the
Old School Renaissance, captured an interesting
tendency in the gaming world.

When available, time became a hard to find

resource, the decrease on crunchyness and
return to more familiar and nostalgic system
grew. The campaigns start to decrease in length
unfortunately, but this led for a increasing
amount of players to develop faster and weirder
ways to play: lethality, randomness and focused
exploration.

We’re here to only hope that this keeps going,

is more than enough time for the creative and
expressive gamemasters and players to come out
of the hiding and share again with the world their
years of experience and solutions. We’re part of
that, and you might be one too. Always looking for
ideas, add-ons and unique paths for your play. So
here it is: this is an ode to the tabletop scene.

Stranger Foundry is an abstract company. We’re

not a publishers, writers, illustrators or even game
designers, but we’re all of them. The foundry is my
formalization of the homebrewing, taking it up a
level and making it available to the community. Our
commitment isn’t with a scheduled release date
or even with a product line. Is with exploration,
finding new and interesting paths and handing it
over to you, whatever they may be.

Were mapmakers, a pathfinders

and this is our laboratory.
