Quick Note – JD2 Darkland Moors
Jeff Dee (Classic D&D cover artist) has just released his second OSR module (and Kickstarter stretch goal) “JD2 Darkland Moors” over at RPGnow. This adventure is a follow-up to “JD1 Cess-Pit of the Bog-Queen” (reviewed here by Erik Tenkar). As it was a kickstarter stretch goal I got my copy yesterday but have only been […]
Quick Note – The Caverns Of Ugard
More of a shout-out than anything else. +Shane Ward of The 3 Toadstools blog has just released a dungeon and map created using the pattern that I linked to last night. This dungeon, “The Caverns of Ugard”, is particularly awesome on Shane’s part and serves as an inspiration to my humble-self as a a guide and […]
Quick Note – Cheat and still Dyson up those maps
This is a tempting little piece of tech for all of us who are middling at best in our ability to draw hand drawn maps. Map Hash Pattern for GIMP by Morgajel over at RPGnow as a Pay-What-You-Want title. while not my cup of tea (I’ve come to enjoy the zen of drawing my little […]
Quick Note – Before the Internet …
As I’ve said in a few challenge posts that I have made in the past, I did not actually start roleplaying or having an understanding of roleplaying until I was in my twenties (22 to be exact!). That being said I missed the whole play-by-mail thing by a mile. By the time gaming entered my […]
Game Geeks – Your Mission if you Choose to Accept it …
Game Geeks wasn’t able to do a review this week (A shame since he was starting to pick back up again after a few years of very few reviews) but they did instead give us, the Community, homework. And honestly it is some homework that I have been wondering about myself of late to ask […]
Raceless Classes of Eira – The Prodigal
Below is the final raceless class for the Eira Setting and joins the other two raceless classes that have come before it. Originally, the Prodigal went by the name “Wanderer” and was the only race-based class for the dropped “Changeling” race. The Changeling was dropped as a race when it was decided to make the […]
Getting back into the Groove – A magic Item for Swords & Wizardry!
The past week has not been good to me, but this is not the place for that. Rumors of my death have nearly been true … but not true enough. My apologizes to anyone who reads Genius Loci for my hasty and unplanned disappearance! So to get back into the groove of blog life I […]
Quick Note – Why was I not informed!
Asain fantasy OSR?! high flying, acrobatic monks … oh I am aquiver with excitement over what I can do with such a thing! What am I talking about? Sine Nomine’s Red Tide! This thing seems truly awesome based just on the preview and since it is Labrynth Lord I can easily make it work with […]
Quick Note – General Adventure 1 – The Murky Deeps for Sale
Trolling aorund rpgnow today looking for onsale/cheap stock art to collect for future use I cam across this recent re-release by WOTC of the TSR 2e adventure The Murky Deep. Now as many of the readers of Genius Loci know I was not gaming in the 2e days (or the 0e or 1e days) so […]
Quick Note – Moving Forward & another movie!
With March quickly approaching I find myself choking under the self imposed deadline of “Lights over Innsfjord”. Again I wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew, especially after the moderate (by my middling standards at least) of both “The Nest” and “Under the Horn” (which now has 2 4-5 star reviews […]
