Oh, cool. Dan has revealed a new stretch goal - a  Shaintar adventure for Eldritch . Sean Patrick Fannon of Evil Beagle Games has agreed to pen a bonus adventure for the Eldritch RPG in PDF format upon this Kickstarter reaching the goal of $4500. Yes, this is in addition to the free adventure I'm throwing in, AND in addition to the online character and monster generator at $4500.   He will write a short work set in the world of Shaintar (roughly 20 pages), showcasing Eldritch RPG's flexibility and adaptability to other worlds. It will also serve as an excellent introduction for fans of Shaintar to introduce the world to their players, regardless of game system. This extra adventure shall be granted to all pledge levels from $15 up!  C'mon, let's get this thing done!

My copy of Torchbearer arrived on Saturday. And wow! I love it. The Pete Mullen cover is fantastic. The overall production quality is higher than the already high marks set by BWHQ. The book itself feels great in the hands. Now it's time to light some torches and embark on adventure for loot! Pics to come.

I'm glad to see that Dan has launched the Eldritch RPG: Revised Edition Kickstarter campaign.  It's a heck of a good game. The exclusion of monsters, traps, and treasure in the original book did ding it a bit. Even so, we've had a lot of fun with Eldritch. The Kickstarter will set things straight. I liked it enough to create my own character sheet , so no empty rah-rah-you-should-back-it! stuff here. After our first spin, here's a look at some of what I said about Eldritch: The combat was very rapidly resolved and very, very descriptive. It's an interesting take not to roll to hit but to roll to see how much "potential harm" the target must mitigate. As points were whittled from the various defense pools the narration flowed. @RPG.net The game has structure but isn't rigid. As GM it feels okay to wing it which is nice. But the system doesn't force that kind of style. It just doesn't feel like you're going to destroy the session by ...

Last Sunday, I ordered the Swords & Wizardry hardcover direct from Frog God Games. It arrived today, the following Saturday. Talk about service. I've been playing S&W for a few years, starting with the WhiteBox and Core books from Lulu. When Complete was released back in 2010, for me, it jumped to the front of the S&W pack where it was competitive with other games that I like such as Castles & Crusades, feature-wise anyway. While Complete saw a lot of play at the table, I didn't feel compelled to get the physical book. Then along came the S&W Kickstarter with the Errol Otis cover. Oh, boy. Barely. Held. Out. I was hoping that the book would show up at my local game store. No such luck. Finally, I asked if they could get it in. Nope. So, off I went to the Frog God website and placed my order. A year after the Kickstarter that tempted me so, Complete was finally on my doorstep. It exceeds all expectations.
