Good Stuff on the Download

I picked up +matt jackson's (Lapsus Calumni) The Shrine of Olikulese from RPGNow today. It is a fantasy adventure for Fate Accelerated. I am up to my earlobes in Fate downloads, as the Fate Kickstarter draws to a close, so it is a groovy thing to have an adventure in hand as both an example for play and for use in game. It was $1.00...like buying something at The Dollar Tree. I also downloaded Matt's Edge of Space RPG, which was at the delightful price of $0.00 (i.e. free).

Having seen +Chris Bard's (The Clash of Spear on Shield) recent post about Delving Deeper, I had to download it as well. Delving Deeper: The Adventurer's Handbook, Delving Deeper: The Referee's Guide, and Delving Deeper: The Monster & Treasure Reference are free for the downloading. It is hard to go wrong there.

Bummer: No Trip To NYC

My wife and I cancelled our trip to New York City this weekend because of the weather. Fortunately, we were able to get refunds and vouchers for trains, hotels, etc. We'll use those soon, as we try to get to NYC once every three months or so. We are bummed that we will not be seeing (and hearing) Ron Carter at the Blue Note tonight. And, our list of restaurants to try grows ever longer with no hope this weekend of reducing the backlog (many of the recommendations come from Serious Eats: New York).

To console myself, I am going to order a few gaming items this weekend. My warped rationalization is that I would have blown a significant amount of money on history books at Strand or another used bookstore in NYC. When it comes down to it, I am saving money, right?

Magnificent Miscellaneum from James Mishler

I recently picked up the first three volumes of James Mishler's Magnificent Miscellaneum from RPGNow. Each volume contains a few new spells and a handful of very creative creatures for Castles & Crusades (easily convertible to AD&D or its retroclones). James stuff is always creative, well-written, and usable so I find it to be worth the pocket change to add it to my gaming library.

Volumes 1, 2, and 3 of Magnificent Miscellaneum are already available.
