My Adventurer pledge level Kickstarter backer rewards for the Conan RPG arrived!

Lots here in addition to the books, including a screen, maps, storage folder, character sheet pads, etc. Looking forward to running it sometime.

#ttrpg #conanthebarbarian #kickstarter #crowdfunding
Two cardboard boxes, one marked Pack 01: Core Book & Stretch Goals, the other marked Pack 02: Adventurer & King Exclusive Stretch Goals. In front of the boxes is a velvety read dice bag with a wheel logo printed in gold. Polyhedral dice. Some have a browned weathered stone look, while the damage dice are white with blood spatter patterns. The Conan RPG core book along with a Character Sheet Pad, Encounter Sheet Pad, Hyborian Age Map, and Player Reference Sheets. A vinyl storage pouch, game master’s screen, and the Tales of the Hyborian Age volumes One and Two.

Mail call! I got the backer rewards for the Lemurian Chronicles Kickstarter: an adventure book, GM screen, and poster map of Lemuria. I’ve run two Barbarians of Lemuria campaigns and love the deluxe treatment Ludospherik is giving the game.

I also received three […]

After a brief sojourn at my parents’ place, I got my books from the Weird Heroes of Public Access RPG crowdfunding campaign.

I got the hardcover digest-sized book, original zine, various zine supplements, an adorable mini GM screen, an original painting by the […]

Various items for the Weird Heroes of Public Access RPG by Get Haunted Industries. Back row, left to right: miniature three fold GM screen, digest-sized hardcover rulebook, a small painting of a ghostly figure, and a signed postcard of the author. Middle row: WHPA 13 Fairhaven zine, station logo can koozy, packet of four six-sided dice with thematic designs, Weird-A-Thon Program Guide, We All Have Secrets zine, Thank You X-Tec Zine. Front row: Godspeed You Little Bastards zine and The Life, Death, and Undeath of Sherman Glimp zine. Interior of the Weird-A-Thon Program Guide. My contribution: George Willikers, host of G. Willikers' World of Trains A jovial but tweedy middle-aged man takes viewers on a narrated tour of his extremely elaborate and ever-expanding basement model train diorama. It appears that his basement has been grown via a number of rickety and almost certainly illegal expansions, and his constant excavation is certain to get him in trouble one day. Catch-phrase: All aboard for FUN!

Got a D&D throw blanket as an early b-day present!

I also have one with the Elmore Red Box basic D&D cover artwork, but my Mother in Law has basically appropriated it for her own use. Not for the artwork or gaming connection, she just likes the softness and thickness.

#DnD #ttrpg
A predominantly dark blue blanket printed with the Dungeons & Dragons logo at the top, “Fantasy Role-Playing Game” at the bottom, and illustrated with a bearded spell-casting wizard in a white and red robe.

After a brief stay at my parents’ place I got my loot from the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG Peril on the Purple Planet crowdfunding campaign. Looks good, and the slipcased hardcover Tomes of Adventure is probably beefy enough to stop a small caliber bullet.

#ttrpg #dccrpg
An array of book covers, including a slipcase set of four Tome of Adventure books, a Peril on the Purple Planet GM screen, stretch goal packet, player’s guide, art book, and backer-exclusive bonuses.

Got the HeroQuest First Light boxed set as an early birthday present. Sort of a prequel starter set to the main game, with ten original adventures, different figures, etc. MUCH more portable than the main set, so this will probably get played much sooner.

It’s a […]

A bit late (the announced fulfillment date was September 2023), but I got my loot from the Farewell to Arms REDUX: A Mörk Borg Sequel Hack Kickstarter campaign. Been looking forward to this: World War I-style Mörk Borg.

I plan to augment it with material from the […]

My sister visited me from America so I had her bring some of my old RPG books in her luggage. Kind of a random selection, but fun to page through again.

Finally, I got the Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic+ Edition core book from France’s Ludospherik Editions.

Hardcover like my older DTRPG print-on-demand Mythic Edition would have been nice, but this is sturdy and the art and layout are both improved.

It fulfilled about 13 months later than originally promised, but my numbered Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG dice box from Dirty Woods arrived and is extremely nice.

In the third SLA Industries session of the year we managed to safely exfiltrate a scientist and his family from a rival company research lab. Charm, climbing skill, electronic jamming, and high speed driving got the job done without gunplay or bloodshed.

Tonight in session 22 of my Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG campaign, the Heroes of Hirot will continue exploring the Citadel of the Emerald Enchanter.

Please enjoy this low effort meme I created for the group.

#ttrpg #dccrpg #DCC
A comic book panel showing Spider-Man confronting a mad scientist in the form of an anthropomorphic pterodactyl. Spider-Man’s word bubble reads “You can rewrite DNA on the fly, and you’re using it to turn people into EMERALD STATUES? But with tech like that, you could cure cancer!” The villain responds “But I don’t WANT to cure cancer, I want to turn people into EMERALD STATUES.” (The unaltered panel originally read “dinosaurs” instead of “emerald statues.”)
