Negative Space: old school renaissance
- Big Damn Archmage
- Jeff Rients reminds me of the Castle of the Mad Archmage that I keep meaning to link to.
- Do not miss Petty Gods!
-
This is a tome worthy of the gods—and that’s what it is. A tome of gods usable much as a tome of monsters, placing these petty gods—what Gods & Monsters would call spirit gods—around your sandbox’s map.
- Dragonsfoot Adventure Modules
- The “home of First Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons” has a bunch of old-school adventures in old-style format.
- Dwimmermount is here!
-
The Maliszewski/Macris/Allison 13-level megadungeon has arrived. And it’s 400 pages of maps and craziness.
- Fight On! 7 is out (and I’m in)
- Fight On! issue 7 is out; look for a Gods and Monsters adventure inside.
- Fight On! old-school gaming zine
- An amazing new resource for old school games—and that includes Gods & Monsters.
- Gamergate spreads to tabletop gaming?
-
Gamergate has spread to DriveThruRPG, as OneBookShelf takes down the GamerGate card game after complaints by Evil Hat Productions.
- Lamentations of the Flame Princess indie publisher
- James Raggi is producing some great stuff, easily usable with Gods & Monsters.
- North Texas RPG Con 2016
-
NTRPG Con is a relatively small gaming-only convention focused on old-school games.
- Nothing will be restrained from them, which they imagine to do
-
Figuring out stuff from “the times before” is hard to do.
- Old School Cool
- Since I first made Gods & Monsters public over ten years ago, there’s been a groundswell of support for “old-school” D&D games. Since Gods & Monsters is compatible with adventures for original D&D and AD&D, it’s also compatible with adventures for most of these new games.
- On a Cult of Gygax
-
The extent and even existence of a “Cult of Gygax” is greatly exaggerated, to the point where even things that directly contradict the theory are interpreted as supporting it. The cult of Gygax is a self-perpetuating myth.
- Plagiarism and copyright in RPGs
-
Plagiarism and copyright are two of the most misused terms in gaming, to the point that the history of gaming is twisted to reflect nonexistent attempts to avoid copyright lawsuits.
