Delving Deeper/ 0e Logo!

For the past year or so I have been in communication with +Simon Bull , whose input has had a huge input on my upcoming releases for Delving Deeper RPG. As Simon continues his work on DD, he hopes that other publishers and writers will expand on the game with adventures, settings, and other supplements. Part of that vision has been to create a "Zero-Edition compatibility logo" for use with Delving Deeper material, and other 0E/OSR creations. I've been able to help Simon fine tune the logos a bit. Simon did a great job with the logo design and offer these images as a preview of greater things to come.

As for my own additions to  Delving Deeper, I have two classes - the samurai and the ninja - ready for imminent release on DTRPG and Tabletop Library. They will also be available directly from the Simon's DD site. These classes will be part of a larger supplement, Eastern Expeditions (c), that will expand DD games into the realm of mythic Japan.

You can get Delving Deeper freely here, browse the hypertext online, or grab a low-cost paperback copy from Lulu!

Author James Ward Needs Our Help

James Ward, author of AD&D Deities and Demigods, Greyhawk Adventures, Metamorphosis Alpha, and many other books, has been a contributor in the hobby since the earliest days. His work has been an inspiration to me and I can imagine that many of you would say the same. Jim recently posted the following on his Facebook page:

"Got terrible news today. I need lots more hospital time with several more foot operations. How am I ever going to get work done in a situation like this. Bills are mounting and I have to be home to get much work done. I don't remember when I have been this miserable."

In the wake of this announcement, several members of the gaming community have started benefit auctions or raffles - proceeds of each of these to go to Jim Ward and his family to help with medical expenses. If you have a few extra dollars for a worthy cause, please consider helping out. Links provided.

James Spahn is raffling off two print "work copies" of his excellent White Star science fiction game. He has announced this raffle on Google+.

Taylor Frank of the Dungeon Lord blog has three separate offers, including Metamorphosis Alpha Deluxe Collector's Edition boxed set and some DCC material.

Spread the word for this worthy cause.

Edit - I've just seen that the is a GoFundMe account set up for Jim, for anyone that wants to donate directly.

Raven God Games Logo

I have been working on a logo for a few months now and have decided to go with the image below. Font may change at some point, but for now, I like it, and you can expect to see it on some upcoming RPG releases! Inspiration is drawn from viking head carvings which have been found on building posts, wagons, ships and the like. Let me know what you think!

TOMBSTONE RPG Playtest Released!

Just wanted to drop a quick note here for any who have not seen it already. Corey Ryan Walden's TOMBSTONE RPG, a wild west game inspired by the likes of Boot Hill, has been released as an Alpha Playtest. The game is very easy to learn and includes several character types that can represent nearly any type of character, or they may be expanded on due to the game's simplicity. Sections on character creation, skills, combat and judging teach you the game, and the town of Silverton and scenarios are offered to get you started! 57-pages of western mayhem!

If you are interested in giving the playtest a look, head over to his blog for the free download. Corey is looking for feedback as well, so if you give the game a whirl at the table, drop him a line with your experience (coreyryanwalden(at)gmail(dot)com).

The town of Silverton, AZ (Tombstone RPG)

Just a quick update concerning the work I'm doing for Corey Ryan Walden for his upcoming Tombstone RPG. He's hoping to have a playtest version completed by the end of the year. I, for one, am looking forward to it! Head over and check out his blog for updates, reviews and general role-playing talk. The map of the town of Silverton is complete (more or less) and I present it here for your perusal. Enjoy!

And here's another piece of Eric Wilson's art for the project, absolutely fantastic work.

Tombstone: A Wild West RPG - WIP

I have recently been at work on a pair of maps for Corey Ryan Walden's upcoming game Tombstone, a game that uses a 3d6 mechanic for action resolution. I have not yet seen the playtest version, but Corey discusses the game at some length on his blog (click above). Seems to be inspired by the classic Boot Hill RPG from TSR!

This work in progress is a small mining town to be detailed in Tombstone RPG. Just a photo for now, I'll post another update when its closer to completion. I'll also be doing a map of the United States just after the Civil War, which I am looking forward to!

Corey also sent along a few images he had commissioned from Erik Wilson to display here. The art is superb and has the perfect look for a wild west game! Enjoy!
