Quick Note – The Laundry
I’m not sure what to say about The Laundry. Cubicle Seven has routinely released great games and the product blurb alone had me reading the author list six times because I could swear one of my favorite British author’s (Simon R Green) was involved. From Drive-Thru: There are things out there, in the weirder reaches of […]
Quick Note – One Long Night
Insomnia strikes again, but that is a good thing for everyone buy me! I have finished first draft writing of another two-page adventure title “Assault on the Southern Horn” which goes a long way of bringing all the thread from “Under the Horn”, “Joy in a Flask”, and “Spectres of Usarm” together. Like Usarm I […]

A new creature for use in Swords & Wizardry (and most other OSR systems) and the Next Edition. Glide Frog The croak came from above them as they raced through the marsh lands. Looking up El saw the large dark green form of a frog gliding above them, long tongue lolling from its mouth. Type: […]
Genius Loci on Save or Die.
So the newest episode of Save or Die (episode 95: We Have Class) features my second Two-Page-Adventure “Under the Horn”. The adventure ended up with an average rating of 3 Dragons and some issues that I never noticed or realized were brought up. I’m very thankful not only for the review I was given (Starting […]
Quick Note – Online mappers
So in my eternal quest for mapping programs to supplement my not-so-great abilities I have found a few and these are those. Stone Sword Stone Sword is a fun little mapper, problem is … it is little. The variety is lacking and the user interface takes a little to get used to. Still it is […]
Quick Notes – Announcements, Questions and Tables … OH MY!
In the past two months I have hinted at the idea that by the end of summer I may no longer by traditionally employed. As of yesterday that has become a fact as I failed to get the promotion I was seeking and thus cannot continue to work with my current company due to child-sitting […]
New Creature for any setting – The Gaistig (S&W and Next Edition)
Below is a new undead/Ghost enemy to be encountered in the deepest tombs and most dark places in any game. The Glaistig is based on a Scottish ghost by the same name. Unlike what is presented below the Glaistig of Scottish legend was often a benign … or at the very least neutrual spirit that […]

Actual Play – The Tri-Report
So I’ve recently had the chance to DM/Ref a lot of games … not an overwhelming amount, nor the total amount I’ve ever ran at once but a good deal. The best part is that 2 of them are my playtest games “Spectres of Usarm” and Chromatic Commandos. Chromatic Commandos – In its second session […]
