The Other Game – Cheating on the OSR
It is no secret that the majority of the gaming that I do is with my daughter and her friends. With few exceptions I am the referee or game master and as such we typically play S&W core or Whitebox or some amalgamation of the two that I happen to be experimenting with. However, there […]
Next Adventure Question
So the next five-minute adventure is a pretty big one, with a estimated 10 pages of adventure. Compared to my previous 4 adventures (4 you ask?) which topped out at 5 to 6 pages this is quite a leap forward. The more I work on these adventures with the generic “Town” the more the place […]

Gargoyle of the Lost Clan – Generic, serial numbers filed off class for OSR games.

Raceless Classes of Eira – The Enchanter – Eira Preview
Once again I present one of the “raceless” classes of Eira. In the Eira setting every race has between two and four race-specific classes that they can be. However, there are also 4 raceless classes that nearly any race can in the game setting can take up. The following is one of those classes; The Enchanter. The Enchanter […]
The Creation of the Dwarves of Eira
Quick Note: The Dwarves of Eira The quintessential dwarf does not appear in the folklore and myths of British Isles. There are many “dwarf-like” sidhe and faeries but none are quite like the dwarves of Norse myth or Tolkien high-fantasy. The obvious solution would be to take the dwarf and “re-skin” it as one of […]

Quick Note: 10 guidelines to running a fantasy Zombie Apocalypse
This is just a quick and dirty set-up for rules, magic and cosmological changes to a fantasy setting that I believe will aid in running a pretty tight zombie apocalypse campaign. These ideas are fairly generic rules wise and can be easily adapted to any OSR or D20 based system. With a little work one […]
