Black Dogs zine - issue number 8

Gplus is going away today, and my last post on that platform was to advertise issue number 8 of my fanzine, the Black Dogs.
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/269308/Black-Dogs-zine--issue-8

Issue 8 contains using dead monsters (instructions for a new alchemy subsystem), removing hit-points and using only HD, a mini-system for Blood Magic, how not to use goblins in your game, and the adventure of the Broken Hill.

What I like about this issue is how each chapter works - at least in my opinion - very well as a stand-alone set of rules. Everything is immediately playable.
The alchemy subsystem takes dead monsters and turns them into something your characters can use; I think it's original and funny (requires combining multiple parts, it's not overpowered, and it could lead to an insteresting journey of discoveries for your players).
The HD-for-HP is a simple enough house-rule to speed up calculations in combat.
The Blood Magic is a set of unique spells easy to insert in your campaign - give it to a magic user, or make it a class by itself, it's your call.
The goblins article contains a list of random tables to replace goblins in your game, and the last is a little, challenging adventure (with more "plot" than what I'm used to... let me know if you like it).

What I like NOT...
Well, for personal reasons my production rate has slowed to a halt.
I do not have plans at the moment for issue number 9 - although there might be a collaboration coming up, and so new content might be published in the near future (stay tuned but news will be slow to come).

Black Dogs zine - issue number 7

Less than a month ago it was an adventure, The Village and the Witch...
Now it's a new issue of my fanzine, the Black Dogs - issue number 7.
(Don't get used to this, it has been a coincidence and I expect 2019 to be different, with a much slower publishing rate)

It has been a year of publishing the Black Dogs, and although there are a few things that I would like to have done differently (read: better), I am quite proud of the result. I also would love to go back to the previous issues and fix a few things, improve some others, etc., but life always gets in the way. Perhaps in 2019...

Issue VII contains: creatures that are not elves, some words about dwarfs, quick-start adventuring gear, an adventure in Balthergar and some swamp monsters.

The Village and the Witch is now available on DriveThruRpg and in print on Lulu

The Village and the Witch is an OSR MOdule compatible with Lamentations of the Flame Princess, the Black Dogs, and other OSR adventuring games.
Editing by Sándor Gebei.

This adventure is designed for low-level characters and is intended as an encounter to run in one or two sessions, between other adventures.
This module is designed to generate a Village, a Witch, and some additional weirdness: two pages with die-drop tables to outline the village (map and content), and two pages with a series of random tables to generate a Witch and its connection to the village.
The rest of the module contains some instructions, random or less random NPCs and other weirdness, some digression about alignment and so forth.
