- My thoughts on Sword Dream June 4, 2019So, some OSR players left the OSR to found their presumably holier-than-thou new version of "adventure gaming". More open-minded, more welcoming to everyone and their dog, more inclusive, simply: so much more better and politically correct than that old scumbag, OSR. So much better. I mean, so, so much better."Sword Dream" is the name of […]Norbert G. Matausch

Rob C from Down in a Heap wonders what my fave undead are, RFED asks about traps, and then I ramble a bit about my favorite horror movies.

- I'm Surrounded By Idiots June 4, 2019Dammit! I told him to hold!This is a wargaming idea I've been musing on for a couple of years that crystallized in my head during a shower today. It would likely work for a variety of scales and periods but my intention is for horse and musket games in Ruritania-style imagi-nations where the characters of the […]Evan
- OSR: The Biggest Aspidistra in the World V2 June 4, 2019I've updated this old one-page dungeon with new photo-composite art. You can download the PDF here.It's less of a dungeon and more of a social challenge. The real fun is a) getting three uncooperative people out of a tree and b) figuring out exciting new ways to make money from the situation.Skerples
- El Dorado June 4, 2019The nice thing about working with real world geography is that the maps already exist. That's nice. Of course, translating those to hexes is kind of a pain in the ass (especially for a mapmaker as lazy and incompetent as myself)...but it's doable.Setting up the trade thang though is a little tougher.Working with the fantasy […]JB
- Hex Power Flower – Weather June 3, 2019This is an interesting take on the Hex Power Flower idea. It was posted on the For Glory #1, The Hexanomicon Kickstarter by Ariel Churi ; which of course must be filled with great stuff if this didn’t make the final cut … ;O) I’ll defo be watching for any future KS! Comments I like the […]Goblin's Henchman
- Miniature painting: the adventure continues June 3, 2019Last September, after incautiously writing too many blog posts about Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, I took up miniature painting. I posted about it in December, providing images of all the crudely painted figures that I'd completed to date. Five months on, I'm still at it, although my pace has slowed somewhat. This post is an update […]Joseph Manola
- Avatar 10 Years On June 3, 2019It is hard to believe that Avatar was released in 2009 - in both senses in which that can be true. On the one hand it's difficult to accept that it's not just yesterday. And yet on the other it feels like several eons have passed since it came out.The overwhelming sensation, though, is a […]noisms
