It’s always great to see you and game together at GC, Dave! :) Allan.

Some reflections and thoughts on Black Blade Publishing, after 16 years: Black Blade Publishing and the OSR Community Allan.

Many thanks! :) Allan.

I enjoyed AoW and ST a lot, but never got the chance to play them. I'd love to DM AoW one day, and there are parts of ST that I've liked a lot too (although I've never particularly adopted the idea that Demogorgon's heads are two different minds/personalities, which necessitates quite a bit of...

Makes sense! I try to pull apart the big APs and series groupings to look at individual scenarios vs. just listing GDQ1-7 or the Age of Worms AP as a whole, for example. Happy to hear some more thoughts on that front. Some scenarios have more nostalgia attached to them IME than good design...

Sure, a repost would be fine, thanks @Salthorae. Thanks :) Allan.

@Sepulchrave II : do you have any portraits planned of an early-stage Mostin with his overly-wide-brimmed hats, at court or elsewhere? I thought maybe you’d commissioned one somewhere over the years, but don’t find any here or in the SH/RG threads. Allan.

I was just thinking of bumping this! Allan.

My new blog post looks at the history of planar design development in AD&D: A Brief History on the Development and Design of the Planar Cosmology in AD&D More to come, too! Allan.

Yes, definitely! Here’s the list of modules I’ve DM’d 3+ times (with ones I’ve also played noted too): TSR 1e A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity A2 Secret of the Slavers Stockade A3 Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords A4 In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords D1 Descent Into the Depths of the...

I imagine a series of time-based maps, then showing changes in zones as the Great Migrations commence, in waves, showing the displacement of the Flannae and demi-human realms over time. Agreed—it would be difficult to be so granular for the free cities, but there’s also likely less need: they...

Yes indeed, Dave! Are you planning to attend North Texas in June? Allan.

My GaryCon summary report is now posted at The grodog Thither and Hither and Points Between As always, GaryCon was a fun time, made even more fun by gaming with and visiting many friends and colleagues there! Allan.

I think that's a great idea, and although it would likely follow general cultural footprints from the migration maps, it would still be useful to see the zones of "control" for the Flannae, Suloise, Oeridians, et al. The map visual could be extrapolated from the national breakdowns listed in the...

Hola folks!--- I shared a new post in my blog that's a mixture of Greyhawk campaign update and some noodlings on Pholtus: https://grodog.blogspot.com/2025/04/enter-stage-left-agutha-glimmering-sisters-of-pholtus.html Enjoy! Allan.

In fact there is, and specifically for RPG artwork: see http://kodercollection.org/ and Koder Collection Allan.

Thanks for ping (and @haakon1’s kind words too) :) ). I’ve multi quoted some thoughts below that I hope are useful. Sounds like a very worthwhile resource, @haakon1 ! Have you done all of AoW already, or are you working chronologically? How does one request a copy? :) Note that there are...
