[Adventure]F4 The Withered Crag (2019)Guy Fullerton (Chaotic Henchman Productions)Lvl 1-2 The hunt is on. My Sandbox campaign is starting to operate, and with that one is on the hunt for new materials.

[Adventure]Rogues in Remballo (2015)Matt Finch (Frog God Games)Lvl 1 City-adventures. The liminal model, protean, not fully codified, neither fully dungeon nor fully wilderness. Some combination of stealth, interaction and skullduggery is required to succeed. There is no standard format. Classic City Adventure modules are few and far between. B6? Can Matt Finch make a good … More [Review] Rogues in Remballo (S&W); City-Adventure

(probably 2-4) Psychedelic fantasy was a series comissioned and published by Geoffrey Mckinney in the early-mid OSR that attempted to foster creativity by serving as a sort of reverse NAP; every spell, item and creature in it, had to be unique. They were also … More [Review] Psychedelic Fantasy #3 – The Fungus that came to Blackeswell (OD&D 3PP)
[Adventure]Caliban (1979)David A. Hargrave (Grimoire Games)Lvl 8+ Some time ago we covered the weird, gonzo world of Arduin, today we look at an adventure. Although it has its heart in the right place, unfortunately it is very primitive.

Browne, Tom Kirby & Graeme Morris (TSR)Lvl 4 – 7 (the inside states levels 3-6 instead) “Combat is a Failure State,” is one of the more damaging memes to have come out of the later OSR and should be correctly lambasted for giving entirely the wrong impression about … More [Review] UK1 Beyond the Crystal Cave (AD&D 1e); Combat is a Failure State 😦
