Hammers and Oaths through the Northlands
Yesterday saw the release of the Northlands: Norse Adventures Kickstarter by Kobold Press. This setting will be made available for both 2024 Dungeons & Dragons, as well as Kobold Press’s own Tales of the Valiant. Backers are welcomed to look through a decently sized 18-page overview of the setting that seems at first blush for […]
Dusting the Old Girl Off
Three years ago Genius Loci Games faced the brink of collapse. The landscape of tabletop gaming was shifting dramatically, moving away from the in-depth blog posts and the unique, non-gonzo/grim dark OSR material we specialized in. Our blog engagement plummeted to mere double-digit views each month, and our DrivethruRPG store, once a source of pride, […]
Carbon Grey – Diesel Punk Grime and Adventure for WEG D6!
This morning I discovered a Kickstarter that taglines as follows! As we all know by now I am a huge fan of WEG’s d6 system and varients of it like Anti-Paladin’s Mini-Six. Whenever possible I gravitate to that system due in no small part to its versatility, flexibility, and easy to pick-up nature. This all […]

Dungeon Creation with DungeonDraft
Publisher Template for Affinity Publisher
Indie publishing for games can be an interesting trade. A lot of indie developers – myself included – tend to wear many hats. We are writers, editors, art directors, layout artists, I.T. and everything else in between. We are also typically rather broke which means we have to be creative with what we use and […]

Mini-Review – Matt Finch’s 0e Monsters of Jordoba
Matt Finch begins 0e Monsters of Jordoba with a page long mission statement, one that ends with this statement: So I’m going back to those grassroots for a while. Jordoba isn’t a polished, finished project being handed down by a publisher as a complete product. Instead, it’s the material spun out from the ongoing process […]
