GROGNARDIA – Mon, 31 March, 04:00 AM
I'm going to take a break from these weekly polls. While I have found them useful in getting a better sense of Grognardia's readership demographics, I've found the poll service I've been using somewhat limited in its capabilities.

The Indie Game Reading Club – Mon, 31 March, 12:03 AM
I do love scary stories. Never been a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft, though. Even before I really understood the racism in old Howard’s stories, existential cosmic horror was just okay for me.

The intent here is to take some of my favorite fantasy novels and find a way to make their systems playable in the OSR. It is a fascinating challenge, and one that I think could open doors to playing in a setting with which one is already familiar, which could improve the ease of running the game fo... read more.
