    Bruno’s Earth, a D&D clone heartbreaker from 1986, on Amazon now.

    HA! Good catch on my Martial Artist typo. But you're right, a Martian Artist would be an interesting class to play!

    Bruno’s Earth, a D&D clone heartbreaker from 1986, on Amazon now.

    I bought a copy of the game book and the creature manual two years ago. It's clearly POD as both books have a date on the last page that matches the day I purchased them through Amazon. I'll be honest, I haven't spent much time reading them, but the author has some interesting design choices...

    D&D General Luke Gygax Brings Back Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg

    I was primarily an AD&D guy back in the day. After being away from the hobby for three decades, I missed all of the post-TSR Gygax works, so I'm kind of thrilled to get an artifact from his last few years without paying collector's prices for it. My impression from the announcement videos is...

    D&D General Luke Gygax Brings Back Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg

    In true Troll Lord Games fashion, the email they sent out was not proofread closely enough and it lists the 2005 price of $39.95. The actual cost for the book + PDF in 2023 is $65. Another note: TLG’s current plan is to print the book as it was, errors, typos, and all. So be sure to hunt down...

    Castles & Crusades—which printing/edition is current?

    IIRC, the 9th printing of the PHB has very minor updates when compared to the 8th printing (10 misspellings fixed according to one source). I think they ran out of stock of the 8th because of the popularity of the AD&D-homage covers and were forced to do a quick re-print to keep up with demand...

    Dolmenwood ks has over 7000 followers

    I think you're right, the setting is mostly a hexcrawl. I'm sure adventures written for it will be full of dungeons that can be explored, but I don't know if Dolmenwood has any specific dungeon-crawling mechanics like Shadowdark. I saw a post in the Shadowdark Facebook group this morning from...

    Dolmenwood ks has over 7000 followers

    OK, I get that. Gavin basically house-ruled the system he knows best to fit the game world he's been working on for a decade. I interpreted your comment as if you have a distaste for OSE. What system do you think would work better for this game?

    Dolmenwood ks has over 7000 followers

    Dolmenwood uses its own OSE-based rule system. It's self-contained and doesn't require any OSE rulebooks. Translating it to another system should be trivial.

    "RPG Auctions". I spend way too much money there. Recommended.

    Glitch. I couldn't even get to this site a few minutes ago, but now it seems fine.

    Mutant Future and Labyrinth Lord—Are they still around?

    Goblinoid Games is leaving a ton of money on the table by ignoring the wave of new B/X gamers that OSE is bringing to the market. Their web site hasn't seen any updates since 2019. Though many of their books are available as POD from both Lulu and DriveThruRPG, I'd love to see some quality...

    The One Ring 2E - Unhappy with Free League's pre-order and shipping

    It tooks months for the TOR2 Kickstarter to get completely shipped. The general release is probably going to follow the same pattern. The misprinted dice snafu isn't going to help the timeline.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I think that's exactly what these new TSR tomes are. They want $650 each, so even if these are used copies rebound, they're going to make a significant profit. Of course they haven't really explained what they've done, so anybody with more brains than money will see through this and buy their...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    No, I'm not suggesting that they follow NuTSR's lead by stealing IP, trademarks, or the like. I was thinking more of parody works like Tsar Frontiers: Not Genuine and the previously suggested "Dungeon Carl". OK, it's a dumb idea. But it makes me chuckle.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I was thinking the same thing. What if a half-dozen or so new TSRs popped up, each claiming to be the true heir, and they all pumped out similarly named (and better produced) products? The confusion it would lend to this already convoluted fiasco would be delicious.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    The newest version (the "tsar" version from dtrpg) is also four pages longer than the previous incarnation of "Not Genuine" previously found on itch.io and it has more post-it note commentary than before. (One note references "Steven Seagull" which I find particularly timely and hilarious. Also...

    Tenkar's YT video also has a link to Lulu where you can buy a hardcover copy. Brilliant!

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    Tenkar just posted a video about this amazing work of trolling. My hat is off to the person/s involved in this masterpiece. Star Frontiers:NG
