Some excellent RPG products I think you would like

Cover by Ed Bickford

 

A good friend of mine, James Holloway, has published a few different roleplaying things over the past few years, as well as having an excellent podcast, Monster Man. The Magonium Mine Murders is an adventure for Old-School Essentials but is pretty easy to translate into any other fantasy RPG of your choice.

The Pamphlet of Pantheons is a zine that gives you random tables and a method to generate a Pantheon of gods for a fantasy setting. Even if you don't use the whole thing when world building a setting, it has a ton of good ideas worth a read.

I mention this now because James has a new zine currently funding called "Guide to Grunts" which I would very much like to succeed so I can get my copy. If you like RPGs, and zines, you should definitely back it if you can afford to. It will give a whole ton of useful ideas and guidance on creating a military culture or adding flavour to a group of soldier NPCs your players might encounter. You could also use it for a character's back story.

My friend James writes good words. Please give him money, so you and I can both read more of them.

Help Support Fenris Games

 

I'm changing from my planned progress report on my tournament painting to bring you news of some awesome toy soldiers from a small company that needs supporting. You'll have seen a bunch of models I've painted by Fenris Games over the past year or two. The company is excellent, Ian who runs it is excellent.

They are running a crowd funder for some more Wyrdworld models, and a Goatkin warband. Normally, you'd expect this sort of thing to be on Kickstarter. Unfortunately, Kickstarter has announced that they're getting into "Crypto" technologies, which are broadly a useless scam that destroy the environment. So, Ian has chosen to run his latest pre-order through his website and Ko-Fi. (In Ko-Fi, click on the "Commissions" tab to order.)

It's important to support small wargaming companies so they stick around in normal circumstances. In this instance, Ian has chosen to do the right thing morally, and it's probably going to cost him quite a bit in terms of actual money to run his business. If you can spare some cash, please do help him out.

The first of the two big "themes" of models in this release are an assortment of horrible Goatkin. These nasty mutated monsters could be used as Broo in Runequest or Chaos Beastmen Warhammer or Age of Sigmar. (It's almost like they're very similar...) They would also work really well as Animal Cultists in Mork Borg Forbidden Psalm.

There's also some additional Wyrdworld characters, following on from the last Kickstarter. These animal folk could be good for RPGs, Frostgrave, or any miniatures agnostic skirmish game.

The pre-order is only up for a couple of weeks, so please do drop in and chip in to offer some support for a company that's putting money on the line for the sake of their principles.

Normal service on the blog will resume from the next scheduled post.
