Journey into madness

Yep, I am going to join the crowdfunding OSR RPG crazy train.  However, I am not going it alone.  I've signed on to be part of the Lamentations of the Flame Princess Grand Adventure Campaign!  Much like Delve!, I'm doing all of the writing/art/cartagraphy chores.  This adventure will be designed with the LotFP rule set in mind, but as with all the OSR rules, you can easily adaprt to your rule set of choice.  I've got a ton of work to do for this and there is a pretty impressive lineup (yeah, I gotta admit it's kinda intimidating, but exhilerating at the same time to be mentioned in the same company as these folks).  I've got lots of ideas that will fit in nicely with the LotFP feel.  I don't have much to share at the moment but watch this space for more!

Oh, back to Delve!  I've almost finished the cover and have some work to do on the interior art.  Delve! will for sure be "Weird Fantasy" as well, so if you like that sort of stuff, then I think (or at least hope) you will find something of use.  Initially I'll have a very limited print run but a pdf will be released for sale.  When I can get the whole printer/copier thing figured out, I'll do a more expansive print run.

    Woot. Johnathan just wanted to let you know I've been fighting with my computer and losing so that is the reason for my delay on getting back to you.

    Tim, I certainly understand and no hurries. I am still working on the art and I am going to order a laser printer so there are no hurries. Not to mention that I have a lot of work to do to prep my crowd funding project with James Raggi since he is officially kicking it off 1 July.

Neurodiversity and Dragons - the adventure begins!

Image
  Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far. ...

I like pie!

Cyclopeatron made an interesting blog post which I tend to agree with. Most conent posts don't get responses but opinion posts do. I've noticed the trend in my own blogging as well. There is some incredibly interesting content being generated out there in OSR blog land. I think folks tend to react more to opinion pieces because no one really wants to 1) either say your stuff sucks on a blog post or 2) only say "that's cool man". I tell you what, I cherish the "that's cool man posts", it at tleast let's me know folks are paying attention. As to the your stuff sucks, well those are OK too as long as they tell me why they think my stuff sucks so I know how to try and improve it. At any rate, I like pie. It even tastes better when I had to kill an orc to get it ;).

Vornheim: A Review

Image
So, I'm the kinda guy who likes quirky stuff. I listen to 70's and 80's punk and protopunk and postpunk. I like to watch Ray Harryhousen movies. I thought Amazon Women on the Moon and UHF are hilarious. I love indie and experiemental comics by guys you've probably heard of like Robert Crumb and Harvey Pekar and stuff by guys you might not have heard of like Brad Jones and Archer Prewitt. So why am I telling you all of this? Because Vornheim by Zak S. Of I Hit it with my Axe and Playing D&D with Porn Stars fame has put together a quirky little city supplement called Vornheim: The Complete City Kit . Vornheim is a slim, hard back book published by Lamentations of the Flame Princess (James Raggi). Vornheim is digest size with b&w interior. The cover has a removable dust jacket that has a map of Vornheim on the inside and a set of instructions to use the charts on the front and back covers of the book. Yeah, pretty much every surface is designed to be us...
