Yeah. For me Errant isn’t a game to run, it’s a toolbox to take specific tools from. Or used for inspiration. Etc.

Huh. That’s amazing. So the much vaunted “Pathfinder outsold D&D!1!1!” happened when there were literally no new D&D books to buy. Fantastic.

Just finished Mexploitation Cinema by Doyle Greene. If you really love the luchador-horror movies featuring El Santo, Blue Demon, and Mil Mascaras, this is a book for you. It offers some insights and a few behind-the-scenes glimpses that are interesting. It details the state of the Mexican film...

Is that in the wrong section? I’ve had books for this game on my shelf for decades.

For the record, Ice Pirates is awesome.

Modern Mythos. Good Friends of Jackson Elias. Rol o Rollo. In Spanish.
