Kevin Crawford and Sine Nomine Publishing have consistently produced high-grade roleplaying game material across several genres. Most of the products are based on or more or less compatible with the Labyrinth Lord rule set, which in turn means they are pretty portable across most old school games. Settings and Rules …
Emphasis on the wrong word there. Lusus Naturae — Freaks of Nature — is a book of horrific monsters. However, being ‘H’ day, something had to give. I’ve been a fan of Rafael Chandler’s RPG work for a while now. I’ve reviewed his Teratic Tome, I’ve posted about what I learned from it, …
I’m always on the lookout for adventure ideas, and in 2010 Engine Publishing (the publishing arm of Gnome Stew) released Eureka: 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters. This is a good book to have, and I’ve got the physical book on my list of books to buy. This is a …
Jack Shear of Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque wrote a post about why he publishes as he does. I decided it worth mentioning why I follow his work as I do. I read the blog because I like the content. I grab and print the PDFs because I like …
After the rotten news about The Doom that Came to Atlantic City late last week (namely that it was not going to happen, and that the project owner was going to work really hard to get us refunded), a lot of people were pretty sad, angry, and otherwise not happy. Cryptozoic Entertainment just …

I’ve only written a handful of reviews, but they tend to be for single products or perhaps a very small number of related products (such as if I were to finally do the review I’ve been threatening to of Jack Shear’s Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque books). Sometimes, though, reviewing a …
I need an easy one today, I’m trying to also get something together for the Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day on Wednesday, so I’m going to do a bit of gushing about one of my favorite small-press writers. Rafael Chandler publishes gaming materials under the name ‘Neoplastic Press‘. This is …
I was trying to come up with a good post for ‘H’, I’d originally had an idea for one but managed to misplace it, when I stumbled on a post from The Nine and Thirty Kingdoms (incidentally one of the first RPG blogs I started reading, a couple years ago) from …
Technically this starts with ‘C’ and meets the A-Z Challenge criteria, but it’s awfully cheap. I’ll post another article, on cartography styles, later this evening. In the meantime, my friend Erik Tenkar is coordinating a “Swords & Wizardry Appreciation Day” on April 17 (I’m not entirely sure why that day …
