My New Hero

Miguel Zavala is 3D printing all the monsters from the classic D&D Monster Manual, plus a few other classics ....

THE DREADED GAZEBO!

The cheque is in the mail!

Big Trouble in Little China Action Figures are on the way!

The only way this could be more awesome is if you could get these as playsets!

Sewer Maze, complete with wall monster action!

Neon Underground Temple, complete with working escalator!

 and of course Chinatown Alley ... with the Porkchop Express!! 

Flea Market Find!

Got them all for $4 (Canadian!). 

I love Gamebooks. I'm terrible at them, but I love playing them. As a kid I hacked and cheated my way through most of the Way of the Tiger, some of the Lone Wolf books and a bunch of the classic Fighting Fantasy. I sold them all off at some point, and now like so many other middle aged men in the grips of terminal nostalgia, I am now trying to collect them again. 

Yesterday the Wife and I went to a local flea market and I found these four little beauties. I got them cheap because unfortunately most of them are in TERRIBLE condition. I bought them anyway because I didn't have any of the Sorcery series yet and because it was honest to glob Dungeoneer! 

Dungeoneer was the Fighty Fantasy RPG. Combined with Out of the Pit (the bestiary), you could run actual tabletop games with your friends in the FF world of Titan (I highly recommend Titan for any fantasy fan). I'm going to through the book and see how viable as an rpg it actually is. 

So this happened ...

I cannot figure out how to watch the new season of Community in Canada and I am becoming very upset. I mean, just lOOk! 

Hieroglyph sez what?

At some point, I gotta use this clue in a Dungeon. Another personal fave is using a sigil or code that decodes as 'mine'. 

Quick Linkin' 2: Homemade TIE Fighter Anime Short

I honestly haven't geeked out over Star Wars like this since the first Episode I trailer! Mindblogglingly awesome.

Quick Linkin' 1: The Art of Dungeons and Dragons

2 Warps to Neptune has a great spread on the 'Art of D&D'. Can't wait until Part 2

LOVE the Rock'n Roll stance on the Lich. 

The Werewood

Dhuna Witch. by, Nathan Rosario

Talislanta.com is looking to bring the so-called 'Lost Books' up to a more official capacity. These were books commissioned and written but never published (including my own Festival of the Bizarre). The call was put out for those willing to edit and format these documents into a more presentable form, and I was lucky enough to snag the Werewood folio.

I'm really looking forward to it as I haven't had much of chance to do much gaming wise of late. A friend of mine got me a place at a table-top 2ndEd D&D game that I was looking forward too, until job related realities crushed it like a cave rat under the foot of a 12th Level Paladin.

If it goes well, I might just see what I can do with old issues of the Tamar (an old on-line zine) as well as the New Tales of Talislanta, a 'Thieves World' style group fiction project run by the old mailing list. Which is just my way of saying that I have a lot of old files from the ancient days of the internet.
