First there was Maidens of Moordoth, then Trouble at Karam's Claim. Adventure modules without a specified setting for Labyrinth Lord (or any other old-school fantasy retro-clone or original!). I wrote these because I had a story to tell, and assumed I'd have all kinds of ideas and be able to craft more and more of these one-sheet adventures.»Read more

For those of you who have been asking about it, the FrontierSpace RPG is coming along nicely, but we made a design choice: divide the monstrous book up into 3 separate softbound books...»Read more

For those of you who haven't stumbled across it yet, Goblinoid Games has a nifty retro-clone product called Labyrinth Lord.

I'm in love with science fiction, and with 80's style of role-playing. Is that a crime? If so, I'm guilty. Does it make me an old relic? I don't think so. I talk to many and hear the same things (and there exists a whole host of projects to revive old game systems all over the web).
