Combined book is out and it looks very nice (in PDF). Waiting on my print on demand HC to follow ;)

This VTT project has been cursed from the start. First they got caught lifting the graphics for the 3D dice from Fantasy Grounds, then the lead programmer was killed in a domestic incident. It was forgotten until it's recent resurrection as a VTT without any 3d elements and without the tools...

In the cases of Roll20 and TableTop Forge, the kickstarters are allowing them to add art assets and push the apps beyond their initial visions. So, it's a win-win if you ask me ;) To monetize beyond the "now", they would need to tie in online stores where you could buy additional assets. I...

I like Fantasy Grounds as a player, but as a GM it has a steep learning curve, especially if you want to run your own adventures and get the most out of the interface. I am not a programmer, so there is a lot I can't do with FG that others may be able to. Roll20 has lots of promise, but I am...

Regretfully the ability to draw lines in Roll20 for all intents and purposes is borked to the point of uselessness. I supported the kickstarter, I'm in the Closed Beta and I stopped looking to see if they fixed this. So, if anyone knows if drawing now works to the point you can actually use it...

I hated the beta of DCC on first read. I am thoroughly enjoying my read through of the final DCC RPG. It is most certainly NOT for everyone. It is the game Joe Goodman wanted to write, so he did. It encourages house ruling to make it closer to the type of game the GM / Group wants to play and...

But if it had 3e math, it wouldn't be AD&D anymore ;) Simple solution is to take AD&D (or OSRIC) and just use the 3e math for the stat modifiers. Should really break anything. At least, no more than any other house ruling might... heh

Generally speaking, the point of a retro close is to replicate a previous game edition. 3e never really died with the OGL (which retro clones generally use to build upon) and 4e is still alive (until Next drives the final neil in). Most retroclones us ascending AC, or dual stat the AC with...

Always nice to find another OSR blog to read :)

Very sweet! Nice pick up :)

The problem with Blogger is that when you kill the comment filter, the Spammers start sneaking through (although Blogger is much better at blocking them then it was earlier). Welcome to the world of OSR Blogging Spidermonkey :)

czak - the comments to this blog post were probably the most educational of any post I've made ;)

iTabletop has integrated voice and video (don't think you can chhange voices tho). It's also free now.

Graffiti is also used to mark territory. Look in your poorer urban areas. You'll frequently see graffiti marking territory for the local gang. Sometimes, one gangs sign is written over another, either as a diss or a land grab. Depending on the dungeon and it's inhabitants, this could...

I agree. It should be judged on its own. That being said, The Secret Fire diverges more than most of the OSR style games from it's source. Actually, The Secret Fire is probably more towards heavy "house rules" than derivative. Almost like Palladium Fantasy RPG and AD&D are related. If I ran...

Isn't every OSR style game built upon the bones of it's predecessors (and, of course, the SRD and OGL)? Holding that against the game you can remove all of the following from being worthy games: Labyrinth Lord, Swords & Wizardry, OSRIC, Adventurer Conqueror King System, Crypt & Things...

I'm also voting Integration, as they are trying to integrate all that they can (user base-wise) from the previous editions.

I'm sure it goes by Billing Address

I added all ya ;) Erik Tenkar

I told you it rocked the moment I got the last issue. Occasionally I actually know stuff ;)
