Lulu loves me! … or at least is willing to make out with my credit card from time to time. I just got a package in the mail today containing: NOD 1 NOD 2 Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque Dark Dungeons … I could have sworn I also ordered Adventures …
John Stater of The Land of Nod (I know the hostname is ‘matt-landofnod’, I don’t ask questions about these things) wrote a book. Possibly more than one, but it’s only one that I’m going to talk about today. Blood & Treasure Players Tome is pretty close to being what I …
My son checked the mail yesterday and brought me a small package from a little place called Lulu. My copy of John Stater’s Blood &Treasure was here! I read pretty much all of the character section, and skimmed the rest (spell descriptions no longer interest me the way they used to…) …
I received my copy of Never Unprepared: The Complete Game Master’s Guide to Session Prep by Phil Veccione on Friday. I read it over the next couple of evenings (perhaps two hours total). Conclusion: A very good addition to my bookshelf. My background is quite similar to Phil’s. I’ve been …

I already had The Ultimate Base (HERO 6e) and the The Ultimate Mystic (HERO 5e, like the other seven books). …
I was downtown on Thursday and dropped into that branch of my FLGS (I usually go to the one out of town — easier parking, on my way, and that’s where my pull box is). It appears they need some more room on their shelves, so they had a bunch …
Or perhaps these just in. The C&C players handbook and Monsters and Treasures book from the sale Troll Lord just ended; Savage Worlds Deluxe rulebook; Science of Discworld II: The Globe by Terry Pratchett et al. (which has been out of print for a while and rather harder — read “OMG …
