I've put up a new adventure, The Isle of Doom, as a free download on Drivethru. Get it here. Enough people have now asked me about a Print On Demand option for the main rulebook that I will do one; it'll just take a bit of time to sort out, as I'll have to convert all the art to CMYK with the...

You All Meet In A Tavern's first expansion is available for free download on Drivethru! It's a character pack with four new classes - the Champion, Half-Genie, Berserker and Illusionist.

I've had an idea for a Space: 1999 game (or expy thereof - Moon: 2099? 😆) for a while, using the different staff divisions (sleeve colours) effectively as classes. Now that I've got my retroclone finished, maybe I should give it some more thought...

Cleave in my retroclone You All Meet In A Tavern is automatic for fighters; if they have left-over damage after killing an enemy, it goes to someone else, no need to roll. (The GM decides where it goes, but I suggested the strongest remaining enemy of the same type.) This obviously wouldn't...

It's taken about five years, but I finally finished my long-gestating B/X retroclone You All Meet In A Tavern and put it up on Drivethru. Technically I suppose it's not really a "clone", as every aspect has been rewritten with an emphasis on speed and ease of play, and the whole game is intended...

I'll have to be cheeky and say my own retroclone, There's Always A Chance (TAAC), which takes its name from a rule in the DM's section of Moldvay Basic and applies its idea of "roll below your stat on a d20" for pretty much all task resolution. I started it out of curiosity as to what a...
