Old School Podcast Round Up Part 1
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 [...]
Cryptid Codex Cover and Sample Page
Made some progress on my ML74 Fortean creature book I now call the Cryptid Codex
Here is the cover:
I don’t know if it’s gonna change yet, though I do like the image. The creature on the cover is a Cyclopean Ass in case anyone is curious.

Beast Book Preview
As promised, I’m working on a compilation of Fortean creatures initially statted up for Microlite74.
Here is a screenshot sample of what the creature entries will look like:

Back Again?
Yep, it’s me. I’m back and armed with an all new eye melting color scheme, thanks Erol Otus! I’m working on some Microlite 74 creatures and we’ll see maybe even a module or two.

Fred Hicks and the Old School
Recently Dan Proctor over at Uhluht’c Awakens made a post about Unifying the Old School Renaissence, and Jim over at LotFP made a comment about how moralist munchkins are already trying to lay down the ground rules for what is and isn’t acceptable…cough…cough…Carcosa.
