New statement from the Bledsaw family From an e-mail sent to me by Bob Jr. James Mishler

To be fair, it isn't that multiclassing is not allowed, it is that the form of multiclassing a judge must use in his game isn't strictly defined. The fact that there are no rules for it does not disallow it; that means it is up to the judge what rules to use. C&C is more of a "that which is not...

Hi folks, If you have received Bob's hospital number recently from Noble Knight Games, please do NOT call him! Posting this number was a terrible mistake. He's in radiation therapy every day, and needs his rest. If he's always getting calls, he will get no rest, which means his health will...

(Emphasis mine) Now THAT would be an interesting damage system... :D

One little word... Eeemp. Which is what I figure post-apocalypse folks would call the EMP, or Electro-Magnetic Pulse. Kills early 2000's cars dead, has no effect on guns (save some highly experimental ones at DARPA, maybe). So lots of gus still sitting around very useful-like; lots of cars...

That would be Greg Costikyan's Nuclear Winter: The Realistic After the Holocaust Game. Pretty sure that was in Spacegamer, reprinted in one of SJG's compilations of Murphy's Rules.

Official Statement from the Bledsaw Family Dear Guildmembers and Fellow Gamers, It is with deepest regret that I announce that the Judges Guild's President, Bob Bledsaw has been struggling against terminal cancer, and has but a short time left with us. He is in good spirits, with house in...

For the grim and gritty feel of those kinds of movies and novels, Twilight 2000 is your best bet. Aftermath would work too, but it can get bogged down in minutiae (T2000 has a bit of this, but not nearly as much). Gamma World, Darwin's World, and other game systems like it are too heavily into...

Okay, it's out now. Unfortunately this is true. Bob Bledsaw has terminal cancer. Bob's cancer has spread beyond what is curable. They will be doing radiation treatments to help him feel better for the time he has left, but that is only three months on the outside, according to the doctors...

Adventure Games Publishing is proud to announce that Adventure Games Journal #1 is back from the printers and available for purchase! Focusing on the Wilderlands of High Adventure and Castles & Crusades, this issue includes: Cover: The Invincible Overlord, his Grand Vizier Balarnega, and...

Doesn't work that way. Wizards of the Coast carved out a provision in the OGL that material it released was distinctly not a part of the OGL unless listed in the SRD. Save for one monster in one of the Monster Manuals, most of the Psionics system, and some of Unearthed Arcana, none of the...

What on earth?!!?!?!? Talisman was one of the most successful board games of 2007, and Dark Heresy perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited RPGs since, well, since 3E D&D. They sold out of the limited edition in a matter of minutes, and sold out of the regular print run before they even...

That's a mighty fine campaign setting S'mon! Awesome!

Here is one group's solution: http://www.blind-eye.com/SCAP/index.html That works well if you go with the presumption that the equator is through Barbarian Altanis, and the climate is semi-tropical to tropical. Another place that might work if you envision the equator further south, past the...

This was my goal with the new Wilderlands of High Adventure maps Geoffrey mentions above. Originally I wanted to recreate the original look and feel of the classic Judges Guild maps, but discovered that the process these days cost as much as printing in full color (and the paper JG used is...

Hello, I would like to be given the ability to add Adventure Games Publishing, and our products, to the review pages. Thank you for your consideration!

Of course, if you already have piles and piles of old-fashion true 25mm figures, buying figures in that scale makes a lot of sense... those are some pretty cool Thouls. I'll have to check those out at Gen Con. EDIT: Of course, now that I look at the individual entries, I note that the Afridhi...

I spoke with Ed several years back at PentaCon in Fort Wayne. This is one thing that I asked him straight up. Two items stuck in my memory. First of all, the Moonshae Islands are very different in his own campaign. They are more like Earthsea, with lots and lots of little islands, and there is...

Strictly speaking, neither Hommlet nor the Keep are "towns," they just aren't big enough. For an intro they should include a region; something smaller than the classic Duchy of Karameikos, perhaps, maybe just the "Borderlands Region" that can be dropped into any existing campaign setting. You...

You might say I'm heavily invested in the Wilderlands... :D I've been playing in the Wilderlands since 1982, running in it since 1984. My current campaign, though (well, once we get back to it) is set in the Known Realms, though I use elements from the Wilderlands when I need to fill in...
