I get so much enjoyment from http://oneshotpodcast.com for funny access to all kinds of games so I’d like to nominate them. I’m also enjoying http://glitterdice.com/episodes/ which combines some actual play and some RPG discussion. They do occasionally cover board games too, but I hear a lot...

I remember buying that edition of Dragon - it was my first ever exposure to the lovecraftian mythos, and as a direct result of this they became the go-to evil gods in my D&D campaigns from then on!

Just wanted to note that the Brits had a barbarian character class before the unearthed arcana or dragon ones - it was in (I think) White Dwarf 4; possibly created by Brian Asbury? It’s most notable class features were ‘first attack ferocity’ and ‘sense danger’ IIRC.

For sure (it doesn’t seem that long ago). For starters, the name was pure gamesmanship. I guessed that they would have monsters alphabetically arranged, and figured that providing one with an initial Q would enhance my chances of getting one in... a valid assumption, as it turned out. I...

Some others have kindly mentioned them, and I can confirm - stunjelly (originally called the living wall), Qullan and shadow demon :-)

I still think it is a missed opportunity to not give them abilities linked to tracking. Ideally I’d see class abilities which allow them become increasingly able to track foes, determine things about them (health, happiness) and to read the recent past by interpreting tracks. That kind of...

Would it be crass of me to mention that I have three monsters in the Fiend Folio?

I'm a little sad that they changed it from the traditional "30ft speed tirelessly for 12 hours" (striding) and "can jump 30ft forward, 15ft straight up or 9ft back" (springing) and adds +1 to AC. (1e DMG) Those were the days, eh?

When considering rise and fall of Kickstarter's, I think there may be a danger in being dazzled by the huge rpg Kickstarter's and overlooking the immense benefits it gives to small and tiny publishers and will probably continue to do so. I was only able to publish my own science fantasy RPG...

I bought my first pair of d20's in 1975, making them relics!

Getting the image directly from the NASA site seems the safest bet there.

I remember quite a bit of debate back in the day that Gandalf was a cleric in D&D terms! (I always rather fancied the idea of Aragorn as a Paladin (even though he was the prototypical D&D ranger for sure).

Last two hours before the Kickstarter closes... tick, tick, tick! If you find this thread after the kickstarter closes, let me know... I'll happily put you on a mailing list for announcements about the game. Cheers!

24 hours to go, and it is Update 19 - can we get the 22 additional backers to unlock the second stretch goal for backers? https://t.co/iWxEhSv5HQ

Thanks for a great article, Morrus! I'm in the last 38 hours of using Kickstarter for exactly this purpose - to fund professional artwork for my sci-fi RPG which I'm just in the process of publishing. I'm currently 166% funded (why not take a look...

Under 48 hours to go! I've added another update - Meet the Artists. The three professional artists who will be doing some of the art for me which the kickstarter is funding. Come and look at samples of their art...

Hi everyone Just wanted to say that my Kickstarter is inside its last three days in case you fancy taking a look at it or backing it. That's just three more days when you can get input into the background of the world, and even get one (or maybe two) additional PDFs bundled in too! The most...

A new stretch goal has been announced - do you think we can reach it in the next five days and make it better for everyone? Adventures in the Underbelly provides more details on the derelict noncit zones, the illegal cybernetic and psionic research that goes on there and the people who hunt...

A new stretch goal has been announced - do you think we can reach £6,000 in the next five days and make it better for everyone? Adventures in the Underbelly provides more details on the derelict noncit zones, the illegal cybernetic and psionic research that goes on there and the people who hunt...

Update - the stretch goal has been handily met and funds are still coming in, which means more great art in the core book! If you would like to read some additional views on the rules, I have links to a number of reviews and interviews in a recent update on the kickstarter site...
