Ever since I ditched cable TV I’ve been turning to podcasts for more and more of my entertainment and information. One arena that I haven’t found covered very much is Old School and or Retro gaming. But never fear the few that I’ve found are particularly nifty.
1. The Midnights Lair – From the Lair issue [...]

Old School Podcast Round Up Part 1
OK, now this I find inspired.
The whole post is great, but I especially like number six.
Back with some weird rumors.
Well howdy folks, its been a while. What can i say life and or work get in the way of truly important things, gaming…you know. But I haven’t been idle. My game group and I have had two sessions of Matt Finchs most excellent Tomb of the Iron God. Other than a character death everything [...]
New Public Domain Fiction Sources
Consider this a brain-dump.
Inspired by Scott at World of Thool, I have decided to research more unconventional and public domain fantasy sources for my campaign setting “Age of Lemuria”

Edward Lucas White

Fred Hicks and the Old School

This map is in PDF format and is 22 by 17 inches at 300dpi
In addition to Judges Guild I was inspired by [...]

We’ll see how it runs, I plan to do a quick [...]
Coolness of the Old School BBS
Back in the day a BBS was the only way you had to get online. FidoNet, Door Games, Legend of the Red Dragon were a requirement. ;p
I got hit by a curious burst of nostalgia and check what I found. Synchronet on Linux even supports old Dos Door Games with DosEMU. I’m gonna look into [...]
New Sane Studios Forum
Its been up for a few days, but today is the Grand Opening. Sane Studios, creators of such fine rpg products as Vanishing Point, Fearmonger, Myriad, Liquid Crystal and DreamCatcher have allowed me to open a new Forum here.
Their old boards got spammed into oblivion, so they have been without a community forum for a [...]
