What the Glandculler is Selling Today...A table of twenty options covering a wide range of glandular modifications available to anyone who can meet the Glandculler's price. We'll have the Peculiar Organs and Glands Table to go with this one for those of you still looking for it since it was first mentioned in the first Almas write-up. We're going back over the old entries and compiling a master list of everything that needs to get posted or published so it's available...then we get to go back into everything and update and adjust the links...
Later on Monday we posted about the wonderfully weird Those Aren't Worms table for Wermspittle over at Dungeon of Signs. The table is great stuff, but take a look at that blog--it is simply amazing and packed with great things. We're big fans of the Flying Monkey monster/character class for Labyrinth Lord, and the whole H. M. S. Appollyon series/setting is incredible. Highly recommended!
We also posted a set of Six Secret Spells to accompany the grotesquely beautiful Wizard-Frog posted over at the Last Gasp blog. Another blog we highly recommend...even though it might not always be entirely safe for work...it's always thought provoking and beautifully executed.
Tuesday
Distracting and Disturbing Sounds, a table of twenty odd noises that lead into a variety of encounters or adventure hooks or situations in need of resolution, perfect for those times when the player characters think that they're going to get a night's sleep or some much needed rest. Ha! Not in Wermspittle...dreaming can be deadly and sleep can kill in this wretched place...Wednesday
Ten Werm-Riddled Manuscripts available from the more disreputable and questionable book-sellers and manuscript-peddlers in Wermspittle. Don't see what you're looking for? No problem. There are more on the way...Thursday
Bujilli: Episode 66. Answers aren't always solutions, nor is knowledge necessarily comforting. Bujilli gets a long desired glimpse of the truth of things. So many lies that he's been raised to believe fall away. His father stands before him. The confrontation he was ready for wasn't the one he got, but it was the one he perhaps needed. Then the real confrontation begins! There's a poll at the end of the Episode so be sure to vote for what you think Bujilli ought to do next. After all: You Decide!Friday
We took a break from regularly-scheduled stuff to play around a bit with a Spell Design Challenge that was posted to the Swords & Wizardry Discussion Group on G+. We still don't do very much with G+, yet, but this just sounded like it would be fun, so we did it. We drafted three new first-level spells that summon up a minor demon-thingy, equal in over-all firepower to a Magic Missile, with a chance of the things breaking loose...as per the terms of the Challenge. How did we do?Saturday
We plugged Gorgonmilk's excellent new OSR zine: Underworld Lore. It's cool, it has wicked fungi in it, and it's FREE. So go check it out. With luck, we'll have something in the second issue, and if you're so inclined, you can contribute to the effort as well.You might also have spotted some of our artwork over at FATE SF for the Silver Cobwebs and Things Found in the Zone - List A. If you haven't checked out FATE SF yet, click over and take a look at all the great stuff there. The beauty of the FATE rpg is that you can easily tack-on whatever other rules you want to the descriptions, so practically everything there is very easy to adapt to OSR usage. We highly recommend the FATE Bestiary over there--some really excellent critters!
Next Week?
More Manuscripts, a new monster, the continuing adventures of Bujilli, more spells and something else that can remain nameless for now.
You really are on fire right now, and back with an almighty bang. It's a new golden age, and long may it go on.
