I've been an <abbrtitle="Role-Playing Game">RPG</abbr> enthusiast for 30+ years, and after a long hiatus, I've been lucky enough to spend the past few years playing (and running) regular games. Thanks to the explosion of content from the <abbrtitle="Old-School Renaissance">OSR</abbr> (a ["play style movement"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_School_Renaissance) inspired by the early days of RPGs), there are a number of great, _free_ resources for starting and running campaigns.
Below are links to some of the sites I've been using for my own games, compiled as of September 17, 2022.
