  • Dungeon Nights redux February 17, 2019
    Ok, so I accidentally created a new game earlier. I didn't mean to - it sort of just happened.Since then I've been building on Dungeon Nights into something that can be a downloadable PDF with art and stuff. There are a few design decisions I've made to set it apart from other OSR games on […]

  • Daniel Horne Looking to Return to Fantasy Art February 17, 2019
    And he's started a gofundme towards that end:Although I feel that my skills as a classically trained and apprenticed Brandywine School artist are sharper than they have ever been, I've found that there is little engagement among art directors to work with me and thus the ability to inspire fantasy enthusiasts has become nearly impossible.

  • Dog Days in Hegedorf [LotFP Session 5] February 17, 2019
    After defeating the Pale Lady, the party returned to the mortal world and the Abbey of St. Agnes. There were debriefings to give, rewards to earn, secrets to hide, and fallout to deal with. It was mostly a decompression session after the action of the previous game. Most of the action took place in the […]

    Our Roll20 game continued last night with the inclusion of a new player, Rik. We’ve played together for a long time through various play by post forums, but it is great to have him join us on Roll20. If you are not familiar with online gaming via Roll20, you would benefit in trying it. Send […]

  • [Actual Play] 'We should have started using this zombie bird trick ages ago': Team Tsathogga's sojourn in the Stonemoors February 17, 2019
    More actual play. You can read the previous installment here.So the PCs were deep in the Cold Marshes, half-starved and far from home, when they heard the booming of drums through the mist and realised that the ghost drummers had caught up with them. They didn't know what the ghost drummers were, but after everything […]

And G+ has been a fighter over the years.Level 8 because G+ started 8 years ago. It's approaching name level, but will be cut short by about 3 months, thus the XP just shy of […]

  • Free OSR game: Dungeon Nights February 17, 2019
    Dungeon Nights is a fast and dirty old school adventure game, powered by fuzzy riffs and fizzy drinks. It's designed to scratch the traditional fantasy itch when you can't be arsed with anything else. It's a light mish-mash of old school and new school thinking, but probably not for beginners.So grab some dice, paper and […]

  • Monsters Want Us to be Them (three d5 adventure seed tables) February 17, 2019
    Well, rarely consciously, but it is the instinct of the beings of the underworld and outer-weird to increase their numbers. These zones are, on a fundamental level, parts of the gods of howling madness (that which came before and after the multiverse reared its ineffable head like some kind of Gozu-birth).So the denizens recruit mutants, […]

  • Ten Commandments February 17, 2019
    I was looking at Patrick Stuart’s blog again. Patrick Stuart writes eloquently about books. I remember him writing so eloquently about Rebecca West’s Black Lamb and Grey Falcon that I ended up buying the book (but now that I check only got to page 43). And now he writes a review of the Memoirs of […]

  • Patrick Reviews the Memoirs of Usama Ibn-Munqidh February 17, 2019
    In days just recently gone by, I would have posted this to G+. Not quite sure what to do with this now, so it goes here.This sounds like an utterly fascinating read:The cultural situation is equally incoherent. It is a time of cosmopolitan prejudice and cultural-exchange murder-fests. If you picked out one half of these […]
