Former SCA member here. 20 years of heavy combat and A&S competitions. The Society has been preserving medieval recreation culture since 1966. It is basically a living history archive.

Absolutely. My kids have never heard of Sardines (reverse hide and seek) or Bloody Murder. These oral tradition games are the original folk gaming and they are being lost.

Dungeon! from 1975. TSR made a board game version of D&D dungeon crawling that was perfect for kids. It deserves a premium reprint with updated art.

Let us get to know each other! Share your gaming history, what brought you to the Lost Game Archive, and what games you are most nostalgic for.\n\nI will start: I have been gaming since Zork on my dad Apple II. Tabletop since AD&D. My heart lives in Asheron Call Dereth but I have loved dozens of ...

Asheron Call monthly updates that permanently changed the world. When the Shard fell, everyone on the server rallied together. You literally could not recreate that in a modern MMO.

I have been running a weekly tabletop campaign for 14 months now using the Nexus room on this site. Six players, every Thursday night.\n\nThe tools here work surprisingly well for remote play. Maps, tokens, dice, voice chat all in one place. Anyone else running campaigns through Lost Game Archive?
