    D&D 5E (2014) Talislanta D&D 5e version crowd fund soon!

    While a lot of the Talislanta races have the Star Trek problem (i.e., humanoids/humans with "brow ridges"), I'm not sure I agree that they actually have elves just because some of the races are fair or have pointed ears. From a cultural standpoint, I don't really see anything analogous to elves...

    Troika!: An Interview with Daniel Sell

    Aaaah! I somehow missed this Kickstarter. Hope it will be available for purchase afterwards. I really like Troika. It's just such a well-considered design. I ran it for my group, and most of them liked it. We played the introductory adventure from the book, and I added a pamphlet adventure...

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    The Pudding Pop Rapist and his I Spy co-star Robert Culp were also in a fantastic early '70s detective flick called Hickey and Boggs (which Culp directed). Dynamite film, really good, but good luck getting anyone to watch it with you these days. I mean, I get it, it's just tainted now.

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    According to Chirine, former archivist for the Tekumel Foundation, some members were aware of Barker's views well before he died. I can see no reason to doubt his account.

    M.A.R. Barker, author of Tekumel, also author of Neo-Nazi book?

    Barker's name appears as "Philip Barker, Ph.D." from Minneapolis, MN in the "Journal" from 1989-2002. Easy to find on the Intenet Archive (not linking for obvious reasons, even though ithe Archive is not a racist site). I mean, it's just getting impossible to believe that this isn't him.

    D&D General Thaco the angry clown... really?

    At some point within the last couple of months, Pundit posted on his own site that "India wouldn't exist without colonialism" and some time back, he posted "F--- every single Palestinian." These statements, these posts, are up on his site right now. These are statements he has willingly made...

    Zweihander Revised Core Rulebook- a read-through

    CHAPTER 13: A BITTER HARVEST Zweihander's final Chapter is A Bitter Harvest, an introductory scenario. I have seen reviewers sidestep this Chapter altogether, so as to avoid spoilers. And while I understand that, ABH deserves a little more attention. At 30 pages, ABH is a full-length...

    Zweihander Revised Core Rulebook- a read-through

    CHAPTER 12: BESTIARY Okay, second to last chapter. And one of the most important. In many ways, your Characters' glory is no greater than their foes' infamy. No bard sings ballads recounting the deeds of Cedrik the Gopher Slayer. No, a true hero needs a mighty foe, or, better yet, around 150...

    Main Gauche supplement for Zweihander- a read-through

    CHAPTER 7: LIBER MALUM Chapter 7 of Main Gauche is an interesting and ambitious undertaking: the Liber Malus, which presents the Creature Creator, as well as the Non-P{layer Character Creator. At 60 pages, this could easily have been a separate supplement. It shows GMs how to design Creatures...

    Zweihander Revised Core Rulebook- a read-through

    CHAPTER 11: GAME MASTERY The next 104 pages are a guide for Zweihander GMs. These pages cover, from a different perspective, much of the material that has already been discussed. And a bunch that hasn't. First, it is explained that Zweihander "doesn't have an implied setting". I have heard...

    CHAPTER 6: LIBER UMBRARUM (THE RE-CONTINUING) Having detailed the various Spells that can be gained, at one's own peril, from consorting with Daemons, Chapter 6 moves on to Rituals. Rituals, you may remember, are a form of Magick that can be performed by anyone with the knowledge, material...
