My group is conducting a playtest of Simon Forster's Oubliette campaign written for The Black Hack 2nd edition.
There's a full write up of the first session here along with some of my GM thoughts:

Cool stuff.  I love your scenery.  The black and white is very spooky.  I need to make some of those bridges.

Very cool! I'm fascinated by this minimalist approach to modelling a dungeon crawl. I usually use Dwarven Forge but your minimalist caverns and corridors are very intriguing (and loads easier to transport!).

What is the giant bee hive made out of? Some relic from a dead cactus?

Never knew his fans came in such strange shapes and sizes, but I suppose he's a very popular fellow, isn't he?

Session three wherein the characters find some equipment and use it to overcome a fearsome guardian.

As always a really good report ;). I like reading this stuff=).

I also would like to test this with my group. Where can I find the rules for Oubliette? (Or would you be so kind to send me a pm with the rules?)
They say we come from nothing and to nothing we will return, but in between is gravity and bridges left to burn.

They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately google + won't let me create a new account, as it will be shut down in april. I don't have an existing account, so I can't access the community =(.

Any other possiblities to get it?

Here's a direct link.

It's written for The Black Hack but any oldschool system will work.
