Another Lulu Sale & Thanks!

I suspect that if you wanted something from Lulu you've already picked it up, but they're running a 25% off sale using the coupon code ONEMORETHING305 until Jan 6. So if you haven't, there you go.

Thanks to everyone who responded to the poll! It looks like I need to get more printed versions of our products up at Lulu.

Thanks Shawn!

I'd like to again thank Shawn over at Rather Gamey for letting us use his wonderful Old School Rocks! logo at the OSRG booth at Gen Con 2011. I think it's a great logo and I'm very thankful for his generousity.

Thanks Shawn!

Thanks Gary!

Today's Gary's b-day, so I thought I should send out a big thank you to the guy who was so influential in creating the hobby that we all love.

8th Anniversary Sale Thanks

Just want to say thanks to everyone who purchased something during our 8th Anniversary sale! It was a rousing success and it's always nice to have underestimated a sale's response. I hope all of you enjoy your purchases and that they see table-use at your games.

I'm 6th-Level

A 6th*-level blogger, that is. According to the famous listing at From the Sorcerer's Skull, I just made Maven level. Looking at that list, it looks like he needs to add a 10th-level now, perhaps name-level. :)

Thanks to all of you who read my wee blog. Hopefully I'll soon achieve 7th-level so I can get some 4th level spells. I really want Wizard Eye. :)

*I"ve been doing so much layout recently that I immediately looked for the superscript button when I typed this. Ha!

8th Anniversary - 50% off all our PDFs!

8 years ago today, Suzi and I officially started this crazy rpg publishing business by releasing our first PDF, A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe. Throughout the next 8 years we've managed to create over 180 PDFs supporting 1e, 3e, 4e, Pathfinder, and last year we created our own game and system, Sorcery & Super Science. It's hard to express how much I love what I do. I'm immensely satisfied to be able to pursue what I enjoy as a vocation.

So, until the end of March, we've put all our PDFs for sale for 50% off! It's our thanks to all of you for all of your support throughout the years. You can buy them at Your Games Now, Rpgnow, E23, and Paizo.

Thank You!

Important D&D History Reveled

Like many people, I've always been entranced by the illustration of Emirikol the Chaotic in the DMG. I've just found out that the background was based upon a street in Rhodes called Street of the Knights. Thanks to the Bat in the Attic blog and the commenter there called pseckler13.

Awesome!

Thanks to The Underdark Gazette

Just wanted to say thanks to The Underdark Gazette for mentioning our blog. For those who don't know, the Saturday round-up of the OSR is an indispensable stop. If you only visited one OSR blog per week, the Saturday post at The Underdark Gazette should be it, IMO. It'll even find new things for those who keep a pretty good ear to the OSR ground.

Sometimes those cast off and torn up Snuggies don't go so easily...

Arthur Braune sent me this message on Facebook today: "Sometimes those cast off and torn up Snuggies don't go so easily and come back as pissed off spirits looking to harm the living..."

And well, that idea is both funny and terrifying so I had to take his comment and run. I figured what better revenge for a creature born of loss than to reciprocate it? So thanks for the idea Arthur and I hope you like the below creature. :)

Snugglies
Destructive spirit (Intermediate) 10
C10 A2 S2 F4 R2 I2 W2: Ego 20: Health 36: Fortune 24
Movement Fly at 10/88

Description & Information: In a world where almost everything has been discarded, Snugglies embody the anger of the left behind. It is a whirlwind of debris. But at the heart of every snugglie is a shredded item that once was extremely beloved. Most often, it is a shredded Snuggie.

Intrinsic Powers
• Reduce all Health damage by 6 points per hit.
• Attacking the heart of a snugglie is done at -4, but a snugglie has no damage resistance when hit in its heart.
• Snugglies attack with their swirling debris, dealing +6 damage and +4/ rank 4 combat condition. The type of damage (piercing, bludgeoning, or slashing) should be randomly determined for each hit.

Limited Use Powers
• Self Manifest (1 per year): Snugglies can make themselves flesh for one day per year.
• Add to the Fury (4 per day): Instead of dealing damage with a hit, a snugglie may choose to add to the collection of items of which it is made. Unless the target succeeds at a rank 10 Strength conflict, whatever it is currently holding in his hands becomes part of the snugglie. This breaks the item permanently, rendering it useless.

Review of Advanced Adventure #15: Stonesky Delve

We've just got a review at ENworld for our GenCon2010 1e tourney module Stonesky Delve.

Thanks to Tenkar's Tavern

Thanks to the kind folks over at Tenkar's Tavern for mentioning our blog. I'm always gladdened to see that people think the S&SS blog is an enjoyable read. Especially on days when I wake up at 4:30am for no particular reason other than "Hey! You could make a S&SS super-heroes games, couldn't you...."

Stupid Brain.
