Dyson's Dodecahedron – Mon, 29 June, 03:18 AM
There’s no D&D adventure more famous than the 1978 Gary Gygax classic, the Tomb of Horrors. Untold groups of adventurers have been slain, destroyed, dissintegrated, or the lucky ones walked out completely naked… It is a dungeon of trips and traps, some simple, some not. But it is also a well-kno... read more.

You are Prince Agapetos of Paralía, and the kingdom is your right. How dare your brother call himself a king? He is a deceiver, and your father’s blood was not yet cold when he cast you out and claimed his false throne. Knowing you alone saw the true events of that fateful night, he rallied the popu... read more.

I mentioned in my Sentinel Comics Review that I should probably check out Spectaculars at some point. Well, I did, and let me tell you all, this game has the motherfucking JUICE. So now I'm going to spend the next however many words talking about why this game rocks and you should buy it. The a... read more.
Dungeon Fantastic – Sun, 28 June, 05:08 PM
Is monsters picking up what's left of their goods and lives and fleeing to parts unknown - deeper in the dungeon, or, with access, out of the dungeon - okay in a megadungeon game? It happens in Felltower and in the surrounding adventure areas - the Caves of Chaos, the Cold Fens, the Lost City, and ... read more.
AMONG CATS AND BOOKS – Sun, 28 June, 04:30 PM
Alright, imagine two groups of friends who both come together to play, let's say Dolmenwood. The first group's referee is well versed in the OSR. She has run a few campaigns and her players know what they are getting into. They roll up their characters and are already planning what to do with their... read more.
Sea of Stars RPG Design Journal – Sun, 28 June, 04:20 PM
For a variety of reasons, among them the desire to do something different and have an adventure, Laura and I headed to Charlotte, NC, and HeroesCon this last Sunday. A fair journey, just over three hours each way, but something new. It was a brutally hot day but as it was Sunday, it was still prett... read more.
Afraid of Encounters – Sun, 28 June, 02:30 PM
Gonzo and Weird Fiction seem to be synonymous with the classic TSR era D&D games (pre-AD&D 2e) and some OSR games. From my perspective, Gonzo encapsulates the bizarre, off-the-wall strangeness, and sometimes silly. While Weird Fiction encompasses Fantasy (specifically Sword and Sorcery), Horror, and... read more.
Beneath Foreign Planets – Sun, 28 June, 07:55 AM
My commiserations, it's more Antarctica hexfills. A hapless adventurer (and C.U.L.T asset) flees from Qersh-Qersh, Queen of All Slugs.Find the Hexes below. I do however, recommend exploring them via the Antarctica Adventure Jam webmap instead. In Auric-Nemus one may;fight the CIAdo guerilla warfare... read more.
Planets & Monsters – Sun, 28 June, 04:37 AM
I recently had the opportunity to run Gullet of the Rust Demon, written by Dan D. of the blog Throne of Salt. I ran it using Ashes Without Number, placing it in a preexisting sandbox. This dungeon first struck me because of its unusual map and its only monster, The Ooze. An indestructible mass of fl... read more.

(Header image from Ben Griffiths on Unsplash) The Recommendation I think this is a must-own game. This gem is concise enough that you can probably read the base rules in less time than it will take to read this review, so you may as well go buy it, read it, play it, then come back and see if you agr... read more.

Due to time and other priorities several years ago we stopped updating and selling our first product: The Coat of Arms Design Studio. However, while there are a few other interesting tools, I don’t know if anything else out there does everything it does–at least not the way it does. So after stumbl... read more.
