[Adventure]The Fungus that came to Blackeswell (2013)Yves Green (Psychedelic Fantasies)OD&DLvl ??? (probably 2-4) Psychedelic fantasy was a series comissioned and published by Geoffrey Mckinney in the early-mid OSR that attempted to foster creativity by serving as a sort of reverse NAP; every spell, item and creature in it, had to be unique. They were also … More [Review] Psychedelic Fantasy #3 – The Fungus that came to Blackeswell (OD&D 3PP)| Age of Dusk
[Supplement] The Music of Ericha Zann (2025)James Edward Raggi IV (Lamentations of the Flame Princess Adventures)Lamentations of the Flame Princess So Raggi has made a bard class. What do we do about that, how do we, the normal people, and the obviously more disgusting but still generously termed normal Lotfp players, figure out if that’s … More [Review] The Music of Ericha Zann (Lotfp); Call me Pachinko| Age of Dusk
Oh yeah it’s one of these. My Exegesis. My recent delve (and submission) into Fight On! has once more turned my lidless eye to the OSR and its place within oldschool gaming so I figured a little essay might do help me convey my thoughts.

So I’m expecting adventures with a greater focus … More [Review] Dragon #41; Halls of Beol-Dur| Age of Dusk
My Lotfp review copies came in. Try as I might I rifled through the packaging but could not find a single enclosed legal affidavit. Oh well. This will certainly be interesting. Expect some Lotfp reviews in the not so distant future.| Age of Dusk
[Adventure]Caliban (1979)David A. Hargrave (Grimoire Games)Lvl 8+ Some time ago we covered the weird, gonzo world of Arduin, today we look at an adventure. Although it has its heart in the right place, unfortunately it is very primitive. Its organization is also not the best, something that is fixed in the Vaults of the Weaver … More [Review] Caliban (Arduin); Stone Age| Age of Dusk
[Adventure Module (theoretically)]The Dark of Hot Springs Island (2018)Jacob Hurst, Evan Peterson & Donnie Garcia (Swordfish Islands)Lvl COMPATIBLE WITH ALL LEVELS AND ALL SYSTEMS IT DOESN’T MATTER KILL KILL KILL 2016-2018 was equivalent to the OSR’s bronze age, a period that I suspect will later be recognized as one of supreme decadance, analogous to the … More [Review] The Dark of Hot Springs Island (System Neutral); False Premise| Age of Dusk
The topic of game balance has been doing the rounds so I felt it would behoove me to have my say and explain, to the best of my ability, what everyone should think. In all examples, grey represents…| Age of Dusk
