Ultanya: April 2015
http://www.ultanya.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Big ideas and gaming outside the box. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. The Edge of Death Metal. While writing the Brood Ventricle. I listened to all sorts of metal from the 80s to take myself back. There is just something synonymous with metal and old school gaming. The lyrics and album covers just power up your imagination if you let them. A while back I touched on just how the imagery of metal music. Death Metal revels in the fight and seeks out combat so it may sing new songs of glory. The wielder of this...

Way back in 2010, James Maliszewski blogge. D about the Spanish release. I thought, "Wow! Now, assuming the game meets its funding goal, we'll get an English version. From what I've gathered, it's more of a neo-clone, based on Moldvay-Cook. Or, BECMI. One of those. With tons of additional classes. Posted by James Smith. John M. ...

http://osrnews.blogspot.com/p/gutenberg.html
OSR News and Reviews. No, not the guy from Police Academy (though the series did really decline after he left, but public domain books from the Gutenberg site. E. Gary Gygax didn't have much of a formal education, but he read a lot of old books. Many you can't find on library shelves any more, but fortunately, some of these are available at Gutenberg. Armor and Weapons by Charles John Ffoulkes. Wonder where D&D armor came from? Things like banded mail and scale mail and ring armor? The Mabinogion Vol 1.

Dreams of Mythic Fantasy: A few points & observations regarding the "history" & meaning of the OSR
http://dreamsofmythicfantasy.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-few-points-observations-regarding.html
Swords and Wizardry Resources. Thursday, October 2, 2014. A few points and observations regarding the "history" and meaning of the OSR. In response to some of the recent bullshit:. 1 It was gamers who were hostile to old school play, that first started. Referring to the OSR as a "Movement." Personally, I've always considered it an Event. Alas, I was merely a "Saint of the OSR," (per Johnathan Bingham) and escaped their hostility. Meant to acknowledge the fact that, at least at the time and almost certain...
