Well it’s 2013… Where is my Neuralware Jack?
Every once in awhile I get nostalgic for games that I loved in my youth. Starting from a background of fantasy RPGs there was not much in the 80′s that I played other than AD&D, Stormbringer, Call of Cthuhlu, etc. Then comes 1988, I still remember the day I walked into Gamescape on the Divisidero and [...]

While I had a blast back in the day with the FASA Trek and a successful two part game with the Decipher rules, [...]

Swords & Wizardry: Stepping Back to Move Forward
When Tenkard’s Tavern put out the call for bloggers to talk about Swords & Wizardry I pretty much dismissed it at first. I have a love for all things OSR and I felt there was no need to sing the praises of one game over another. It did however, get me to look over my [...]

OSR in the RAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I would like to do a review of the Book of Erotic Fantasy this is not the time. Also, when I say RAW I am referring to Rules As Written. One of the aspects I really love about the whole OSR movement is bring us back to the days when rules were meant to [...]
