The Lost Archives

Epic tales of science-fiction, fantasy and horror. Welcome to RxOliver, where me and my friends play all kinds of tabletop RPGs, from the giants like D&D and Call Of Cthulhu, to the smallest and most obscure indie games. Mature themes and immature people. Partnered with Brotherhood Of The Dice, events and characters in this universe may exist in that one and vice-versa.

Cozy Crypt is a homebrewed D&D(ish) podcast, crawling with creepy cryptids and Appalachian folklore. Played by an independent group of life long nerds, and created by a story-first centered GM, enter a strangely comforting Southern Appalachian town called Cozy Crypt. Nestled between reality and myth, follow four modern-day misfits as they bond with cryptids, settle into the weird, and navigate a world where the land has far more to hide than anyone can know. With immersive storytelling and a setting steeped in spooky charm, Cozy Crypt is a homebrew actual-play adventure featuring a hilarious, immersive cast. They are BIPOC and LGBT+ inclusive, so whether you're a seasoned dice-goblin or just here for the vibes, there's a seat at the table for you. Now grab your dice and some sweet tea... it's time to cozy up, in the crypt.

Unto the Roll is an actual play anthology where the players learn a new system, play a short campaign, and then review it. Sometimes they even get the rules right. Serious stories.  Slightly less serious players.  Shenanigans ensue.

Dreamopolis is a Medieval/Fantasy map generator, based on research and uses rules to build cities not AI. The cities are completely editable (and buildable) by hand, regardless of how you generate. Make cities for books, games, or just for fun. Add a Legend, share links for people to explore (for cities saved in the cloud), and run live sessions with fog of war. Dreamopolis is currently in beta, and I'm looking for feedback, so if you have ideas or run into problems, leave me feedback through the app, or on Discord! Build the city of your dreams, with Dreamopolis!

Appendix N: Inspirational and Educational Reading is from the back pages of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Master’s Guide and it outlines the authors and works of fiction that the creators of Dungeons & Dragons encouraged us to read for inspiration. The Appendix N Book Club is our opportunity to read and discuss these books, imagine how they inspired the original iterations of the game, and to brainstorm how we can use them in our games today.

Open Game Master runs multiplayer (and solo) 5e campaigns with an AI Game Master (or a human one), on your own machine. The narrator is whichever AI you already have: a local model (llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM), an API key (OpenAI, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint), or a CLI agent you already pay for (Codex, Grok Build, Claude Code, opencode), which narrates on its own subscription with no API key handed over; Codex, Grok and comfyui paint the pictures. The model is the creative mind and narrator; a stack of server-side engines enforces the 5e rules for both the players and the GM. The narrator never owns the numbers: dice, hit points, spell slots, conditions, and the death track are computed and clamped by the backend, and the model changes game state only through tools the server validates. The AI drives the session, requesting rolls, starting encounters, and playing NPCs and companions, following a secret story arc it regenerates as the campaign moves. Made by a team of passionate devs and gamers.
