Tomb of the Rat King: The Perfect Intro to OSR For Our Modern Group?

In this episode of The Hermit’s Homebrew, we break down our group’s run through Tomb of the Rat King and why an old-school dungeon can feel completely different for modern D&D and Tales of the Valiant players. From empty rooms, missed treasure, player-driven puzzles, looming rat cults, and brutal close-quarters combat, we explore how OSR dungeon design tests curiosity, caution, problem-solving, and the players behind the character sheets. Is old-school design better, or simply a different kind of tabletop experience?
