Although the fanzine—a nonprofessional and nonofficial publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, got its start in Science Fiction fandom, in the gaming hobby it first started with</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Chess</i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Diplomacy</i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">fanzines before finding fertile ground in the roleplaying hobby in the 1970s. Here these amateurish publications allowed the hobby a public space for two things. First, they were somewhere that the hobby could voice opinions and ideas that lay outside those of a game’s publisher. Second, in the Golden Age of roleplaying when the Dungeon Masters were expected to create their own settings and adventures, they also provided a rough and ready source of support for the game of your choice. Many also served as vehicles for the fanzine editor’s house campaign and thus they showed how another Dungeon Master and her group played said game. This would often change over time if a fanzine accepted submissions. Initially, fanzines were primarily dedicated to the big three RPGs of the 1970s—</span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/1974-original-dungeons-dragons.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dungeons & Dragons</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/the-classic-runequest.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">RuneQuest</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, and</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/the-professional-traveller.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Traveller</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">—but fanzines have appeared dedicated to other RPGs since, some of which helped keep a game popular in the face of no official support.</span></div></div><p></p><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since 2008 with the publication of <i>Fight On #1</i>, the Old School Renaissance has had its own fanzines. The advantage of the Old School Renaissance is that the various Retroclones draw from the same source and thus one <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>-style RPG is compatible with another. This means that the contents of one fanzine will be compatible with the Retroclone that you already run and play even if not specifically written for it. <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/game-like-its-1981.html">Labyrinth Lord</a> and <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-vi.html">Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Roleplay</a> have proved to be popular choices to base fanzines around, as has <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-iii.html">Swords & Wizardry</a> and the <b><i>Dungeon Crawl Classics Roleplaying Game</i></b> from Goodman Games. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Some of these fanzines provide fantasy support for the </span><i style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Dungeon Crawl Classics Roleplaying Game</b></i><span style="font-family: georgia;">, but others explore other genres for use with </span><i style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Dungeon Crawl Classics Roleplaying Game</b></i><span style="font-family: georgia;">.

Combining dinosaurs, Neanderthals, and a closed environment, it is intended to be dropped into a campaign with relative ease and would work in both a fantasy campaign or a post-apocalyptic campaign. It could even work as a bridge between the two, with two different possible entries into ‘The Valley Out of Time’, one from a fantasy campaign and one from a post-apocalyptic campaign.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><div><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/401288/the-valley-out-of-time-danger-valley-d-mcc?src=also_purchased&affiliate_id=392872">The Valley Out of Time: Danger Valley</a> is the third issue in the series and it is difficult to describe just how disappointing this issue actually is. Then again, the second issue, <a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2024/08/fanzine-focus-xxxvi-valley-out-of-time.html">The Valley Out of Time: Exploring the Valley</a>, was almost as disappointing. What the series promises is set out on the back cover: “The Valley Out of Time is a series of ’zine-sized adventures from SGP. This valley can be placed in any ongoing campaign, and is set in the “Neanderthal Period” of development. Huge monsters – both dinosaurs and otherwise – and devolved humanoids plague the area, and only the hardiest of adventurers will prevail!” The key word here is ‘adventure’. There is not a single adventure in the issue of the fanzine. An adventure has a plot and interaction and motivation and other elements that the players and their characters can grasp and engage with. <i>The Valley Out of Time: Danger Valley</i> does not offer any that. What it does give is a series of fights with some prehistoric monsters, which vary between the Player Characters noticing something over a hill which turns out to be a monster that will attack them and coming upon a fight between two monsters in which they can decide to help one side or the other or run away. All start with the Player Characters wandering through this lost valley and coming across what they are—encounters. They are not adventures and the author even confirms this by describing several of them as an ‘encounter’. The question is, why does the author promise the reader adventures, only to deliver one combat encounter after another, and then to compound them all, make them boring?</div><div><br /></div><div>Worse, having provided full stats for the monsters in the encounters, the author gives the monsters full write-ups in the first of the issue’s appendices. Why? Why repeat material when there is such a limited page count?</div><div><br /></div><div>The problems continue with the framing of what the fanzine is. Under ‘Hooks/Motivations’, the author writes. “These ’zines offer a “mini-setting” with some quick and dirty encounters, locations, and obstacles to help fill in a night (or two) of gaming when other plans go astray.” To be fair, this issue offers some encounters—a fight with some Xoth-man raiders, a fight with a cave giant, a fight with some axe beaks, and so on. All nine of them. But not locations or obstacles, and definitely, <i>definitely</i> not a setting, ‘mini’ or otherwise. There is no map, there is no sense of place, in fact, there are no places, and there is barely anyone to interact with—and when there is, the motivations of the NPCs are scarcely touched upon. The author does tell the reader that the NPCs’ village is a good source of rumours and campaign hooks, but not what those might be.</div><div><br /></div><div>Penultimately, there is some flavour text in the second appendix. ‘The Timeless Valley’ is a short creation myth told to some of the peoples within a lost valley. It may or may not be a foundation myth of the ‘Valley Out of Time’ of the fanzine’s title, but it is engaging and it is interesting and used in conjunction with the some of the people of the valley, it would add to their background. So, the next question is, why is the author not using this to create a setting and to bring the ‘Valley Out of Time’ of the fanzine’s title to life instead of shovelling out one prosaic monster fight after another?</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly, <i>The Valley Out of Time: Danger Valley</i> includes three pages left blank for ‘GM Notes’. Three whole pages where the author could have been providing the mini-setting that the issue promised or even an actual encounter that had scope for roleplaying and interaction rather than just another boring fight. Or alternatively, this could be seen as the author being kind enough to leave a space in fanzine for the Judge to write down some details of an actual setting or even an adventure that he steadfastly refuses to provide as promised.</div></span></div><div><span><div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="gmail_default"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Physically, </span><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><i>The Valley Out of Time: Danger Valley</i> is well presented and well written. The artwork is of a reasonable quality.<br /><br />If the Judge is looking for a collection of fights with prehistoric monsters to pitch at her players, then <i>The Valley Out of Time: Danger Valley</i> is perfect. However, if the Judge wants more than fights and monsters, wants adventures and setting, wants content around which she can build her own campaign, then </span><i style="font-family: georgia, serif;">The Valley Out of Time: Danger Valley</i><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"> is a frustrating failure.

Although the fanzine—a nonprofessional and nonofficial publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, got its start in Science Fiction fandom, in the gaming hobby it first started with </span><b style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Chess</i></b><span style="font-family: georgia;"> and </span><b style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Diplomacy</i></b><span style="font-family: georgia;"> fanzines before finding fertile ground in the roleplaying hobby in the 1970s. Here these amateurish publications allowed the hobby a public space for two things. First, they were somewhere that the hobby could voice opinions and ideas that lay outside those of a game’s publisher. Second, in the Golden Age of roleplaying when the Dungeon Masters were expected to create their own settings and adventures, they also provided a rough and ready source of support for the game of your choice. Many also served as vehicles for the fanzine editor’s house campaign and thus they showed how another Dungeon Master and her group played said game. This would often change over time if a fanzine accepted submissions. Initially, fanzines were primarily dedicated to the big three RPGs of the 1970s—</span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2014/12/1974-original-dungeons-dragons.html" style="font-family: georgia;">Dungeons & Dragons</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-classic-runequest.html" style="font-family: georgia;">RuneQuest</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, and </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-professional-traveller.html" style="font-family: georgia;">Traveller</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">—but fanzines have appeared dedicated to other RPGs since, some of which helped keep a game popular in the face of no official support.</span></div></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />Since 2008 with the publication of <i>Fight On #1</i>, the Old School Renaissance has had its own fanzines. The advantage of the Old School Renaissance is that the various Retroclones draw from the same source and thus one <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>-style RPG is compatible with another. This means that the contents of one fanzine will be compatible with the Retroclone that you already run and play even if not specifically written for it. <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2010/01/game-like-its-1981.html">Labyrinth Lord</a> and <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2010/10/white-box-fever-vi.html">Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Roleplay</a> have proved to be popular choices to base fanzines around, as has <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2010/10/white-box-fever-iii.html">Swords & Wizardry</a> and <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-moldvay-way.html">Old School Essentials</a>. However, other fanzines serve as a vehicle for direct support from the publisher.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>The Chaos Crier: An Aperiodical Zine for Black Sword Hack and Other Swords & Sorcery Games</i>, is like the name suggests, a supplement for <a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2023/04/an-epistle-to-eternal-champion.html">Black Sword Hack</a>. This is the adaptation of <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/255088/The-Black-Hack-Second-Edition?affiliate_id=392872">The Black Hack</a>, designed and published by <a href="https://www.themerrymushmen.com/">The Merry Mushmen</a>, to emulate the fantasy tales and style of the Eternal Champion—Elric, Corum, <i>et al</i>, by Michael Moorcock. <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #0</i> was published as part of the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/896102915/black-sword-hack-ultimate-chaos-edition">Kickstarter campaign</a> for the <i><b>Black Sword Hack</b></i>, but now, The Merry Mushmen has published a full, proper issue, <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i>.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Like its forbear, <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i> is cramped and dense, very much a packed affair, but unlike its forbear, it has a lot more content—a <i>lot</i> more. It includes new monsters, new backgrounds, new factions, and more, mostly notably nine adventures and a return to the city of Nijmauwrgen, previously introduced in <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #0</i>. This first proper issue of <i>The Chaos Crier</i> describes itself as “…[A] pocket grimoire to feed your world ending campaign with tons of material.”, and there can be no doubt that it lives up to this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The issue opens with ‘Alternative Backgrounds’ by Troll Mechanik. This gives new ‘Origins’ that a Game master can add to her campaign or build a campaign around, including ‘Primitive Origin’, ‘Nomadic Origin’, ‘Otherworldly Origin’, ‘Feudal Origin’, and ‘Faerie Origin’. Each comes with tables for where the Player Character was born, their Background, and their Weapons. This is a great addition which kicks off the rules sections throughout the issue. Nobboc’s ‘More Monsters’ includes ‘Angel Faces’, giant bats with human baby heads, the aggressive ‘Red Crows’ with blood-red beaks, and ‘Selenite Renegades’, pariahs from the Flotsam Kingdom who have formed a mercenary company and who have large golden eyes and blue skins covered in chitin, and speak in lisping tones. Entries such as ‘The Thing in the Well’ and ‘Ghouls of the Dream Realms’ add a touch of cosmic horror. ‘The Stars Seer’ is an ‘Otherworldy Entity’ and encounter by Tore Nielsen. They can be summoned from their house on a jagged star to answer a single question, but there is a price to be paid, which could be having to polish the Seer’s claws to a high sheen or the questioner losing his tongue! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Eric Nieudan’s ‘The Dominion of Might’ details a Law-aligned ‘Faction’. This is island kingdom of Myonne which has united its neighbours under the banner of Law and under the leadership of Queen Joosy毛n XVII, a Champion of Law who deposed her corrupt brother, has sent her Army of Might to coerce and then if necessary, conquer the nations beyond and share in her vision for peace. It is nicely detailed, from the top down, from Queen Joosy毛n XVII all the way down to minor nobles and inn keepers, forces that the Player Characters might encounter, and both plots and hooks to get them involved as well as events that can occur whilst they are in Dominion territory. This is a big faction and element that the Game Master can add to her campaign and the combination of hooks and events can really pull the Player Characters into their orbit or just have them as a looming threat in said campaign.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It is complemented—in part—by ‘Follow the Code’ by Lars Huijbregts that suggests ways in which an order, sorority, or secret order might act in different circumstances according to doctrine. Covering large conflicts, small happenstances, and who might be evil. None of are meant to be logical or make sense, but together the Game Master can use them to create a doctrine for an organisation, which could be The Dominion of Might, but could be other organisations just as easily. Eric Nieudan’s ‘Into the Dream Realms’ adds a whole new dimension and a further dash of Lovecraftian horror with the means for the Player Characters to enter the Dream Realm. How it can be entered or left is discussed and there is a table of possible features—really only the start when it comes to dream realms, but the major change is the replacing of the Player Characters’ Doom Die with a Dream Die. It enables a Player Character to interact with the Dream world mechanically, even allowing him to take control of the dream at a cost of the Dream Die being stepped down in size. The downside is if the Dream Die is depleted, it is replaced by the Player Character’s Doom Die and whatever happens in the Dream World affects his physical body too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">‘The Purple Desert’ by Chris Gardiner is a ‘Location’, which could be another world that has fallen to constant grind of the war between Law and Chaos or it could be a dream world. The Player Characters arrive half-buried in the purple sands in the shadow of the head of an enormous statue, whilst in the sky, three broken moons—sallow pink, wet blue, and frail violet—hang and let their essences pour onto the sands. The Player Characters have to find their out of this desert and onto their destination world and may encounter a brash NPC who hides a few secrets of her own. The presence of the Player Characters will attract the attention of Rag-Wraiths, that initially have no form, but in fighting the Player Characters will emulate their attributes and eventually try to replace them. ‘The Purple Desert’ is an engagingly otherworldly through place, somewhere in between.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The first of the adventures in <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i> is Kobayashi’s ‘Bloody Roots’. After hearing rumours of villages sucked into sinkholes, the Player Characters find themselves and the inn where they are staying also being sucked below the earth. Here they find themselves trapped and potential prisoners of the underground Chthonian Empire and they have to find their way out. It is a quick and dirty affair, easy to prepare and set up. It is supported by a short ‘Faction’ guide to the Chthonian Empire, which gives a few options, plus descriptions of the factions who either want to invade the surface world, ally with the surface world, or remain hidden, and stats for various NPCs and monsters. Together it can be run as a one-off scenario or worked into the Game Master’s campaign. The second adventure is ‘Evakius’ Retreat’ by Andrea Gino, which presents a renegade alchemist whose experiments into transforming living creatures through alchemy have led to several disasters and have driven him out of town to take up refuge in an old salt mine. This is presented in cross section and the adventure is supported with decent hooks that will get the Player Characters to investigate the mine and discover just how much trouble Evakius has got himself into! Nobboc’s ‘The Star Envoy’ is a mini-hexcrawl that sees the Player Characters hunting for a twelve-pointed star which has fallen to earth in a small valley instead of attending a planning strategy meeting with Murligen the Wise. The Player Characters might be hired by Murligen the Wise or Zararazarat the Wicked Mage depending upon whether they align with Law or Chaos. Finding the envoy is not enough though as it has lost possessions which it wants back before it will fully co-operate. It is detailed and provide several sessions of decent gaming.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The highlight of <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #0</i> was ‘The Darkness over Nijmauwrgen’, a description of city-port under the thrall of Cult of Dagon. <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i> returns to the city of Nijmauwrgen and again, written by Evelyn Moreaux, it is the highlight of the issue, again. ‘The Sunken Moon’ describes a faction in the city which cultivate ‘Moon Urchins’ imported from another world and milks them for their toxin. This is distilled into an elixir which if given to Deep One Hybrid frees them from the urge to transform and blindly serve Dagon—they are given a choice. Both the forces of ‘The Sunken Moon’ and their leader, ‘Mavara’, are detailed as are their facilities and hooks to get the Player Characters involved in ‘Moonlight over Nijmauwrgen’. This is in addition to not one, but two scenarios set in Nijmauwrgen. In ‘The Sad Ancient One’, the Player Characters must descend into the reef off the city and locate ancient and all but forgotten Deep One matriarch and give her the elixir before the Cult of Dagon realise what they are doing, whilst in ‘The Call of the Nautilid’, they receive a psychic distress call from Marava herself. The Cult of Dagon is taking its revenge and whilst Marava is caught up in a battle of her own, the Player Characters must race to keep her alive. Both are exciting scenarios, if linear, and both enable the Player Characters to get further involved in the events in and around Nijmauwrgen.</div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The issue comes to a close with two final adventures. In the first, the Player Characters definitely find themselves in the Dream Realm in ‘The Sleeper in the Babbling Citadel’ by Eric Nieudan. It is both a short one-session scenario and a mini-setting that the Player Characters can return to after completing the scenario. The involves them exploring the Crimson Caverns originally dug out by Tunneller Titans and in this dry, dusty world climb to a blizzard enshrouded citadel and free the god within. Which it turns out is a wind god, also known as Ithaqua! Nobboc’s ‘Deep in the Salt Mine’ is the second of these two final adventures, oddly inspired by a <b><i>RuneQuest</i></b> adventure that the author can recall the name of. It begins with the Player Characters being enslaved and working out in salt mine. The Player Characters are free to try and escape, instigate a rebellion, and so on, but in the process, they discover dark secrets hidden beyond the mine. These are both decent adventures, with ‘Deep in the Salt Mine’ being suitable as a beginning scenario as it gets all of the the Player Characters together!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Physically, <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i> is ably presented. It is busy in places, but artwork is excellent. The depiction of the Purple Desert in </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Every time Reviews from R’lyeh receives a package from The Merry Mushmen, there is the anticipation that what that package contains is going to be good, even very good. <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i> is no exception. It is packed with good stuff and all of it playable and easy to add to a Game Master’s campaign. The <i><b>Black Sword Hack</b></i> Game Master should definitely have <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i> and <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #0</i> because the two do complement each other. Perhaps that is the only downside to <i>The Chaos Crier, Issue #1</i>, in that it does need the other issue to really work as well as it can.

Although the fanzine—a non-professional and nonofficial publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, got its start in Science Fiction fandom, in the gaming hobby it first started with </span><b><i>Chess</i></b><span> and </span><i><b>Diplomacy</b></i><span> fanzines before finding fertile ground in the roleplaying hobby in the 1970s. Here these amateurish publications allowed the hobby a public space for two things. First, they were somewhere that the hobby could voice opinions and ideas that lay outside those of a game’s publisher. Second, in the Golden Age of roleplaying when the Dungeon Masters were expected to create their own settings and adventures, they also provided a rough and ready source of support for the game of your choice. Many also served as vehicles for the fanzine editor’s house campaign and thus they showed how another Dungeon Master and her group played said game. This would often change over time if a fanzine accepted submissions. Initially, fanzines were primarily dedicated to the big three RPGs of the 1970s</span><span>—</span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/1974-original-dungeons-dragons.html" target="_blank">Dungeons & Dragons</a><span>, </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/the-classic-runequest.html" target="_blank">RuneQuest</a><span>, and </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/the-professional-traveller.html" target="_blank">Traveller</a><span>—</span><span>but fanzines have appeared dedicated to other RPGs since, some of which helped keep a game popular in the face of no official support.</span></span></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Since 2008 with the publication of <i>Fight On #1</i>, the Old School Renaissance has had its own fanzines. The advantage of the Old School Renaissance is that the various Retroclones draw from the same source and thus one <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>-style RPG is compatible with another. This means that the contents of one fanzine will be compatible with the Retroclone that you already run and play even if not specifically written for it. <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/game-like-its-1981.html" target="_blank">Labyrinth Lord</a>, <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-vi.html" target="_blank">Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Roleplay</a>, and </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-iii.html" style="font-family: georgia;" target="_blank">Swords & Wizardry</a> <span style="font-family: georgia;">have proved to be popular choices to base fanzines around, as has</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-moldvay-way.html" style="font-family: georgia;">Old School Essentials</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Scout Magazine</i> is a fanzine that comes packed with content that the Game Master can add to her Old School Essentials or change how it is played. This is no matter whether she uses the basic rules of </span><a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-moldvay-way.html" style="font-family: georgia;">Old School Essentials Classic Fantasy</a><span style="font-family: georgia;"> or the advanced options of </span><a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2020/05/beyond-moldvay-way.html" style="font-family: georgia;">Old School Essentials: Advanced Fantasy</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">. Although specially written for use with <b><i>Old School Essentials</i></b>, it is easily adapted to the retroclone of </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Game Master’s choice or even added to <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/505854/journeys-through-wold-and-bog?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=392872">Dolmenwood</a>, the setting and retroclone also published by Necrotic Gnome.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/446247/scout-magazine-vol-i?affiliate_id=392872">Scout Magazine #I</a> includes four new Classes, over thirty new magical items, an array of new rules, and articles that explore crime, criminal activities, and punishment. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">The four Classes start with the Necrourge, something somewhere between the living and the dead, able to walk silently through crypts, strike enemies for an Energy Drain attack that increases the Necrourge’s Strength, hold its breath for an hour, pass as Undead with other Undead, use necromantic scrolls, and possesses all of the resistances and susceptibilities of the Undead, whilst retainers and mercenaries are reluctant to enter its employment. It is an underwhelming start for the fanzine, as the new Class is not that interesting and does not offer a great deal of game play except possibly in campaigns where darker and more evil characters are the norm. The same is true of the second Class, the Crone, but it has more game play to it. The Crone can give herself an illusory appearance once per day, but to do anything else, she must gorge on the fresh remains of humanoid creatures daily in a ‘Cursed Feast’. This is a disturbing sight for anyone watching, including humans, demihumans, and humanoid monsters, and retainers who witness it, have to make a Loyalty check. The ‘Cursed Feast’ restores the Crone’s ‘Bag of Souls’, from which she can cast reversed versions of the Divine spells from the Cleric’s list. Each spell Level cast costs a number of points from the ‘Bag of Souls’. The total number of points in the ‘Bag of Souls’ is equal to the Crone’s Level. Effectively then, the ‘Bag of Souls’ acts as a spell point mechanic for the Crone. Add the Crone’s ability to temporarily enchant items and create a Coven at Ninth Level and whilst a dark, chaotic Class, there is flavour to it that enhances the game play. The Crone also lends itself as the basis for good NPCs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">There have been many variants of the Merchant as a Class, but the version in <i>Scout Magazine #I</i> is all about people. The Merchant gains more rumours than other Classes, learns extra languages, and as a salesman, gains a bonus when bargaining, buying, and selling. He also has the Appraise skill and can join a merchant guild network and eventually open a branch of the guild. Hiring and shipping is cheaper and easier as a guild member. The interesting element of the Class is that the Merchant can build long term relationships with his retainers. The more Levels a retainer gains in a Merchant’s employ, the more his morale improves and beyond that, his Hit Points! This version of the Class does a good job of widening the gaming potential of the role.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Similarly, the Swashbuckler is not a new Class, although this version is. The Swashbuckler can retreat without incurring an Armour Class penalty and replaces his Strength with his Dexterity as you would expect for attack rolls and damage. Thieves tends to be loyal to the Swashbuckler more so than other retainers and if the Game Master is using the optional parrying rule for Old School Essentials, the Swashbuckler doubles his Dexterity bonus for to parry. If an attack against a Swashbuckler misses, he can riposte, though this is at a increasing penalty for each failed attack in a Round. Swashbuckler skills include Climb Sheer Surfaces, Hear Noise, Move Silently, and Pick Pockets. This version of the Swashbuckler is decent enough, more thief or pirate than musketeer.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The ‘Magic Items’ section does a nice line in named and interesting weapons. For example, <i>Sword +1, Lifegiver</i> is a cursed weapon sword said to have belonged to a selfless saint that is a -2 weapons versus humanoids, but increases its damage die against undead, and can revive someone if they have not been dead for more than a single Turn, but this costs the wielder permanent points of Constitution. There are not just swords described, but also daggers and longbows, and more, as well as miscellaneous items like the <i>Crown Of Spell Absorption</i> which has an empty slot for a gem and when there is a gem placed in the slot, it absorbs spells, the more valuable the gem, the more Levels of spells it can absorb, or the <i>Scoundrel’s Rabbit Foot</i>, said to have belonged to a disreputable outlaw, which enables the owner’s player to ask for a single dice roll to be made again once per day, but also gives the entire party of Player Characters a foul presence, makes them look like criminals to non-Chaotic retainers, and secretly, shift’s the owner’s Alignment to Chaotic. Many of these items are more complex than the average magical item, but then there is more depth and detail to what they can do and how they can make play interesting.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The ‘Optional Rules’ offer a wide range of additions to standard play of <b><i>Old School Essentials</i></b>. They start with ‘New Class Abilities’. These are for Classes for both <b><i>Old School Essentials Classic Fantasy</i></b> and <i><b>Old School Essentials: Advanced Fantasy</b></i>, so ‘Race as Class’ and ‘Race and Class’. For the Barbarian Class, the ‘Berserker’ ability adds the Constitution bonus to Armour Class, whilst also adding a movement bonus, can inflict ‘Brutal Blows’ at a cost of Armour Class reduction, and ‘War Cry’ forces a Morale check on the enemy when committing a charge attack. For the Ranger, ‘Ambusher’ grants an attack and damage bonus on surprised creatures, ‘Pass Without Trace’ removes movement penalties in difficult terrain and means a Ranger leaves no trace of his movement, and the alternative ‘Tracking’ rule accounts for both the Ranger’s Level and the age of the tracks. Not every Class is given new options, but what is given here expands the Classes in interesting ways.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">‘Useful Rulings’ provides quick solutions to common situations, such as clearing a jump, curses, diseases, ability drain, hunger and thirst, and more. There is even a quick and dirty guide to handling insanity for settings influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos. In such a setting, a Player Character who fails a saving throw against madness is forever touched by the mythos. If failed, the Player Character suffers nightmares and sleep deprivation, but gains the capacity to better understand and even use knowledge and powers related to the Mythos. The number of times a Player Character can fail a saving throw versus madness is equal to his Wisdom bonus. Unfortunately, the rules do not clearly explain if a Player Character can go insane, so they are a bit too quick and dirty.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">‘Dirty Deeds’ takes the Player Characters to the black market where they can buy goods from shady dealers. The latter have to be found first and the effort runs the risk of the Player Characters being ratted out to the authorities. It includes a list of dusts, oils, and tinctures, hemlock dust, peace lily compound oil, and rainbow cactus tincture, some of which a shady dealer might have for sale and if not, another shady dealer might have others. The list restricts itself to poisons and drugs, so it is limited in scope and there is no discussion of possible other goods or even services that a shady dealer might have for sale. Nevertheless, useful for the Thief and the Assassin Classes—and other ne’er-do-wells, as well developing the seamier side of towns and cities in the Game Master’s campaign. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">The last article in the issue complements this one. ‘Designing Poisons’ enables the Game Master to expand or design the range of poisons available in her campaign. It uses a pair of templates to help the Game Master to create deadly poisons and paralytic agents. It is fairly simple to use and all the Game Master has to do is add colour and detail to the various concoctions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Should such ne’er-do-wells, though, get arrested and thrown in gaol, ‘Crime And Punishment’ is there to settle the matter. Determining the judgement is a simple matter of rolling two six-sided dice, the lower the result the more severe the punishment and if the player rolls nine or more, his character goes free. The roll is modified by the severity of the crime—the article includes a long list of them under its ‘Code Legal’, plus bribes and skill of the legal representation. The roll determines the judgement and there are suggested sentences for every number, from eight down to minus one. The former may result in a fine, short sentence, or confiscation of arms, whilst the later definitely results in execution. The system is short and dirty, but serviceable.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Physically, </span><i style="font-family: georgia;">Scout Magazine #I</i><span style="font-family: georgia;"> is tidily presented. It is very lightly illustrated.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Scout Magazine #I</i><span style="font-family: georgia;"> provides the Game Master and her players with a lot of new content. Some of it, such as the Necrourge and Crone Classes have limited use, whilst all of it is optional. Much of it will add detail to a campaign, but some cases, such as the new and alternative Class abilities and the ‘Useful Rulings’, this means adding extra complexity to game play. Overall, a decent collection of new options for <b><i>Old School Essentials</i></b>, but the Game Master will want to pick and chose what she does want to use.</span></span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>pookie</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/04/fanzine-focus-xxxvii-scout-magazine-i.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/04/fanzine-focus-xxxvii-scout-magazine-i.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-04-20T12:00:00+01:00'>12:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/04/fanzine-focus-xxxvii-scout-magazine-i.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 2 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1140210070'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=995220052347472921&postID=6578297395295608561&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=995220052347472921&postID=6578297395295608561&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=995220052347472921&postID=6578297395295608561&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Although the fanzine—a nonprofessional and nonofficial publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, got its start in Science Fiction fandom, in the gaming hobby it first started with <b><i>Chess</i></b> and <b><i>Diplomacy</i></b> fanzines before finding fertile ground in the roleplaying hobby in the 1970s. Here these amateurish publications allowed the hobby a public space for two things. First, they were somewhere that the hobby could voice opinions and ideas that lay outside those of a game’s publisher. Second, in the Golden Age of roleplaying when the Dungeon Masters were expected to create their own settings and adventures, they also provided a rough and ready source of support for the game of your choice. Many also served as vehicles for the fanzine editor’s house campaign and thus they showed how another Dungeon Master and her group played said game. This would often change over time if a fanzine accepted submissions. Initially, fanzines were primarily dedicated to the big three RPGs of the 1970s—<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Dungeons & Dragons</a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">RuneQuest</a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Traveller</a>—but fanzines have appeared dedicated to other RPGs since, some of which helped keep a game popular in the face of no official support.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Since 2008 with the publication of <i>Fight On #1</i>, the Old School Renaissance has had its own fanzines. The advantage of the Old School Renaissance is that the various Retroclones draw from the same source and thus one Dungeons & Dragons-style RPG is compatible with another. This means that the contents of one fanzine will compatible with the Retroclone that you already run and play even if not specifically written for it. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Labyrinth Lord</a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Roleplay</a> have proved to be popular choices to base fanzines around, as has <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Swords & Wizardry</a>.

Published as part of ZineQuest #3, <i>Gamma Zine #3</i> was published in February, 2021 and promised more of the same</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">—</span><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">adventures, equipment, monsters, fiction, and so on.<br /><br />Like the previous two issues, <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/348193/gamma-zine-3?keyword=gamma%20zine&affiliate_id=392872">Gamma Zine #3</a> begins with an interview. In <i>Gamma Zine #1</i>, the interview was with the late </span><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">James M. Ward, the designer of both <b><i>Gamma World</i></b> and its predecessor, </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#" style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Metamorphosis Alpha</a><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">, whereas the interview in </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><i>Gamma Zine #2</i> was with </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Luke Gygax. This was not just because </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">his father is E. Gary Gygax, but also because he is listed as the co-author of </span><b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><i>GW1 Legion of Gold</i></b><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">, the very first scenario for </span><b style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><i>Gamma World</i></b><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">. The interview in <i>Gamma Zine #3</i> is with Bill Barsh, the owner of </span><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><a href="https://pacesettergames.com/">Pacesetter Games & Simulations</a>. In the interview, he discusses publishing content for the Old School Renaissance, but the main subject was the then forthcoming <i><b>Gamma X</b></i>—</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><i><b>Gamma World 8thEdition</b></i></span><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">, a retroclone based on the first and second editions of </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><i><b>Gamma World</b></i>, but using the mechanics of the </span><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">‘B/X’ version of <b><i>Basic Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>. The interview is interesting when discussing what was planned at the time, but since then, sadly, the only title to appear is the playtest adventure, <a href="https://pacesettergames.com/products/gx0-5-warrendome">GX0.5 Warrendome</a>.</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Otherwise, there is a good mix of content with the issue. This starts with the three monsters in ‘Horrors of the Wasteland’. They include the ‘Bicat’, more akin to a Tyrannosaurus Rex than a cat, bipedal with its arms ending taloned fingers and a preference for attacking the weakest targets; the ‘Chemslime’, a sentient pool of slime combining organic matter, chemical spills, and radiation, and capable of assuming partial humanoid form; and the ‘Lizscorpion’, its back half Komodo Dragon with a stinger tail, its front half scorpion all with pincers and mandibles. These are all nasty creatures, some of them quite big threats. Pleasingly, these are not just monster entries, but they actually appear in the issue’s three scenarios.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><b><i>Gamma World, First Edition</i></b> and other early post-apocalyptic roleplaying games did not do Classes in the sense of <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>. <i>Gamma Zine</i> offers them as an option. In <i>Gamma Zine #1</i>, it was the Artificer and in <i>Gamma Zine #2</i>, it was the Wasteland Blacksmith, but here it is the Wasteland Ghoul, a mutated humanoid which survives and thrives in areas of radiation and other poisons and chemicals. This has come at a cost though, as the radiation and chemicals have destroyed parts their brain and one or more internal organs. In game terms they are impervious to radiation or poison of Intensity 17 or lower and take minimum damage from higher Intensities. Even though a mutant, the Wasteland Ghoul cannot have any mental mutations and is limited in choice, such as ‘Physical Reflection (radiation)’, ‘Radiated Eyes’, and ‘Radioactive Healing’. They have limited Intelligence, but are hardier and stronger. Their primarily role is as a scout for entering high intensity radiation areas that the other Player Characters cannot. The Class feels heavily influenced by the <i>Fallout</i> series of computer games, but that is no bad thing. Like the creatures of ‘Horrors of the Wasteland’, the Class also appears in one the issue’s scenarios.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Similarly, the three weapons of ‘Artifacts of the Ancients’ all appear in the scenarios. Written by Jarred Wray Wallace, they include the Vibro Sword, the Sonic Pistol, and the Stasis Ray Rifle, all nice classic additions to the genre. The issue also continues the fiction begun in the first issue with another two chapters of ‘The Hunted’. ‘The Hunted, Chapter Three’ picks up where the story left off, with Whyla and her faithful cybernetic hound, Arnold, having defeated the bandits who ambushed them, but with Arnold damaged and deactivated. The two chapters track her attempt to get Arnold to a cybernetic doctor. Unfortunately, her efforts do not go as well as she hopes and she finds herself in more danger and separated from her faithful companion. Again, it ends on a cliffhanger, hopefully to be resolved in <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/511788/gamma-zine-4?src=hottest_filtered&affiliate_id=392872">Gamma Zine #4</a>. Nevertheless, the story is engaging and it nicely depicts the dangerous world of its future.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">As with previous issues, <i>Gamma Zine #3</i> comes with three adventures. The first adventure is ‘The Chemaxis Refinery’ and is designed for starting Player Characters. This details a chemical manufacturing facility which the Player Characters have heard is a ready source of biochemical weaponry and energy cells. They will also have heard about the numerous failed attempts to get into the facility due to the high radiation. What is odd is that the radiation does not extend beyond the fence surrounding the compound. When they do manage to sneak in, the Player Characters discover that it is being operated by a band of Wasteland Ghouls who are siphoning off the contents of the tanks of chemical waste to create the bioweaponry and more. The description of the facility is nicely detailed and there is quite lot going on in terms of the Wasteland Ghouls trying to access and use the chemicals and toxins stored there, but they do come off as a faceless workers to be killed rather than interacted with. There is plenty of loot to be found in the facility and it would make a good potential base for the Player Characters, if cleaned up.<div><br /></div><div>The second adventure, ‘The Petrified Fortress’, is intended for Player Characters with slightly more experience. When travelling in a petrified forest, the Player Characters come across one that towers far above the others. It turns out that this tree was converted into a secret military base and once they have found their way inside, the Player Characters get caught up in a war inside between machine and nature. The robot units are under siege by sentient plants spreading from the facility’s biodome. The robots will not attack the Player Characters and the suggestion in the scenario is that the Player Characters come to their aid and again, that this is potentially a good base for them. </div><div><br /></div><div>‘Palace of the Bandit King’ is the third adventure and is suited for experienced and well-equipped Player Characters. This has more of a plot right from the start with the Player Characters hired by several settlements who are sick of the predations of a local bandit king and have scraped together enough funds to pay them. Bandit King Prentas Smythe’s palace is sealed in a desert ravine where he and his bandit horde host pit-fighting tournaments! It has only the one known entrance, so either the Player Characters are going to try to find another one or they are going in the front, the suggestion being that they disguise themselves as merchants or would be pit fighters. The bandits’ reputation for being evil is well founded and their base is effectively a slaughterhouse. Their base is very reminiscent of Jabba the Hutt’s palace in <i>Return of the Jedi</i> and as with the previous two adventures, would make for a very good base for the Player Characters. It is also the most straightforward of the adventures in the fanzine and the most familiar in terms of its plot. After all, bandits, pit fighting, and cannibalism in a post-apocalyptic setting? That certainly has a ring of familiarity to it. The inclusion of the plot means that it is the best of the three with ‘The Chemaxis Refinery’ being more of a techno-dungeon than a scenario.<br /><br /></div></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Physically, <i>Gamma Zine #3</i> is neat and tidy. It is decently written and nicely illustrated with good art throughout. Each of the scenarios is accompanied by excellent maps.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">There is much here that the Game Master can use in her campaign, whether that is for <b><i>Gamma World</i></b> or another post-apocalyptic roleplaying game.

Although the fanzine—a nonprofessional and nonofficial publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, got its start in Science Fiction fandom, in the gaming hobby it first started with <b><i>Chess</i></b> and <b><i>Diplomacy</i></b> fanzines before finding fertile ground in the roleplaying hobby in the 1970s. Here these amateurish publications allowed the hobby a public space for two things. First, they were somewhere that the hobby could voice opinions and ideas that lay outside those of a game’s publisher. Second, in the Golden Age of roleplaying when the Dungeon Masters were expected to create their own settings and adventures, they also provided a rough and ready source of support for the game of your choice. Many also served as vehicles for the fanzine editor’s house campaign and thus they showed how another Dungeon Master and her group played said game. This would often change over time if a fanzine accepted submissions. Initially, fanzines were primarily dedicated to the big three RPGs of the 1970s—<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Dungeons & Dragons</a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">RuneQuest</a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Traveller</a>—but fanzines have appeared dedicated to other RPGs since, some of which helped keep a game popular in the face of no official support.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Since 2008 with the publication of <i>Fight On #1</i>, the Old School Renaissance has had its own fanzines. The advantage of the Old School Renaissance is that the various Retroclones draw from the same source and thus one <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>-style RPG is compatible with another. This means that the contents of one fanzine will compatible with the Retroclone that you already run and play even if not specifically written for it. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Labyrinth Lord</a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Roleplay</a> have proved to be popular choices to base fanzines around, as has <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/995220052347472921/3201083408814362842#">Swords & Wizardry</a>. Most, but not all fanzines draw from the Old School Renaissance. Some provide support for much more modern games.<br /><br /><i>Lowborn</i> is ‘An Independent Grim Perilous Fanzine for Zweih盲nder RPG’. As the subtitle suggests, this is a fanzine for the <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/210516/zweihander-rpg-revised-core-rulebook?affiliate_id=392872">Zweih盲nder: Grim & Perilous RPG</a>, published in 2017 and thus modern, but actually a retroclone of another roleplaying game. That roleplaying game is the definitive British roleplaying game, <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/228084/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-first-edition-core-rulebook?src=hottest_filtered&affiliate_id=392872">Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay</a>, published by Games Workshop in 1986.</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/308794/lowborn-zweihander-rpg-fanzine-1?affiliate_id=392872">Lowborn Issue I</a> was published in April, 2020. The content begins with a handful of small articles. They include ‘New Doomings’ by Adrian Kennelly. These are ways in which a Player Character might die in <b><i>Zweih盲nder: Grim & Perilous RPG</i></b>. There are four tables here, one for each season, and they offer alternatives to those list in the core rulebook. ‘Those Two Orx’ is the regular cartoon rather than cartoon strip, but at a whole page, it is taking up space that could have been put to better use, especially given the desperation of the humour. Ingacio M.’s ‘Reaction Spells’ provides a handful of spells that are variants of several Generalist Spells. For an Action Point, they can be cast as a reaction and require a spellcaster to know the original spell and then expend Experience Points to learn these ones. They include <i>Cack-Handed Grasp</i>, triggered when someone moves towards the caster and makes the floor in front of the caster slippery enough that the person approaching the caster might fall over and <i>Magick Missile</i>, triggered when someone runs away, which stuns that person, though it does not work in darkness. This is a solid section of spells, all nicely detailed, which can easily be added to a campaign.<br /><br /><div>Ingacio M. is also the author of ‘100 One Attribute NPCs’. This is not a second set of tables, but rather one table providing the very minimum of details of one hundred NPCs, including </div><div>name, archetype, attribute (value), ancestry, age group, complexion, build, and social class, and divided equally between male and female. The Game Master only has to roll once to have an NPC with a few details ready to roleplay without her having to decide a bunch of details on the spot. Or, of course, the Game Master choose one or even roll for each category to add further flexibility—if she has time. Overall, useful.<br /><br />‘One Roll Combat’ by Petter Rudin-Burgess offers two things. One is an analysis of three different types of combat in roleplaying games and the other is an alternative to the complexity of combat in <b><i>Zweih盲nder: Grim & Perilous RPG</i></b>. In turn, the author looks at <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b> with its use of Hit Points as a measure of combat skill rather than fortitude or endurance, the simulationist nature of combat in <a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2024/11/table-etiquette.html">Rolemaster</a>, and the slightly more abstracted nature of combat in <i><b>Zweih盲nder</b></i>. What it highlights at the end of this is the length of time that these differing means of handling combat can take. What the author suggests as an alternative in shorter or smaller combat scenes where the action does not need to play out blow by blow, is to have the player describe what he wants his character to do, the Game Master assess and set the difficulty, and then the player roll, adjusting the result with Fate and Fortune points as necessary. The outcome of the roll determines the narrative. Perhaps a little overwritten, this is nevertheless, a useful suggestion that is worth a <b><i>Zweih盲nder</i></b> Game Master taking the time to look at.<br /><br />‘The Bailiff of the Problem’ is the first of two scenarios in <i>Lowborn Issue I</i>. Written by Sean Van Damme, it is a short murder mystery that can be prepared and played in a single session. Although it is suggested that the Game Master use the Villagers & Villains – 40 NPCs From Humble to Heroic, it is not absolutely necessary. All that is necessary, is that the Player Characters be in their Basic professions. It starts with the Player Characters having been hired by a magistrate to locate a tax collector who has gone missing whilst collecting taxes from the tiny community of Labarn. On the road to the village, they discover the tax collector’s body which has suffered some odd injuries. The scenario really consists of an investigation in Labarn, centred on interviews with several of the inhabitants. Like a classic murder mystery, they all had reason to hate the dead man. There may be a little combat involved, but this is mainly an interactive and roleplaying scenario. It is quite detailed despite its brevity and so should not be too taxing for the players and their characters to solve. It is also left up to them to decide how they resolve the situation. This is short and sweet, its brevity making it easy to add to a campaign.<br /><br /></div><div><div>‘Carnival’ by Ignacio M. is intentionally and magically odd. Descriptions of carnivals or circuses, typically the fa莽ade for a dark cult are a common trope in roleplaying games inspired by <b><i>Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay</i></b> such as <i><b>Zweih盲nder: Grim & Perilous RPG</b></i>, but this is different. It is enveloped by magic even to the extent that the wagons and tents are arranged like a magical circle. What that magic hides and embraces is that the operators are all anthropomorphic animals. So, they are different and they are also not members of a dark cult. Many of the wagons and tents are, in their own way, expansive. One offers a library of thousands and thousands of books, and more—if one knows the right incantation to open up the stacks, whilst the House of Mirrors contains a labyrinth of mirrors that in turn can teleport the viewer to a desired location or give a view of a particular person and enable the viewer to cross over to them spiritually for a short time. Only three of the tents or wagons are described, so there is scope for expansion here and also, there are no stats for any of the NPCs. If there is an issue for the article, it is the inclusion of the anthropomorphic NPCs and whether that fits a Game Master’s campaign. She, of course, has the right to change such details and the various NPCs could be hiding something else instead. Bar some scenario ideas or hooks, ‘Carnival’ offers an intriguing and different type of circus, one with plenty of room for expansion and development.</div><div><br /></div><div>The second scenario in <i>Lowborn Issue I</i> is Peter Rudin-Burgess’ ‘The Bloody Jack’. It takes place in the village of G眉rdenstein where the inhabitants have become wary of strangers. This is not for usual reasons found in roleplaying games, but rather because they are being taken advantage. Recently, Erik Hecher arrived in the village with nothing more than a few coins in his pocket and the rough clothes on his back, but in the few weeks since, he has greatly improved himself—new tailored clothes, a haircut, and so on. He has taken up residence and similarly improved the house he has moved into. The monies for this have come from his successful gambling. There is something odd going on and it will not take much for the Player Characters to discover that Erik is in league with a demon! Upon this revelation, the villagers, incensed at their gambling losses, take their revenge on him in an act of mob violence. Unfortunately, this unleashes a curse, one that the Player Characters are in the best place to help lift. This involves a journey to a nearby monastery and the Player Characters will be plagued by demons who still want their revenge for Erik’s death. Puttng aside the question of quite where the villagers got the money that Erik was fleecing from them, the Game Master will need to provide stats and perhaps it would have been good if the Player Characters were given more of a chance to interact with Erik Hecher to learn his story. Otherwise, this is a decently dark and nasty scenario, very in keeping with the ‘Grim & Perilous’ tone the <i><b>Zweih盲nder: Grim & Perilous RPG</b></i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Physically, <i>Lowborn Issue I</i> is a bit untidy and rough around the edges, plus it needs a slight edit. That said, it is a first issue, so there are bound to be teething problems.<br /><br /><i>Lowborn Issue I</i> is an impressive first issue. It has decent content, which includes two, very playable adventures. And the truth is, both of those scenario would work just as well with <a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2022/09/warhammer-fantasy-roleplay-iv.html">Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Fourth Edition</a> (or whatever ‘Grim & Perilous’ roleplaying game the Game Master is running) and not just <b><i>Zweih盲nder: Grim & Perilous RPG</i></b>.</div></div></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/09521454715536568847' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>pookie</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/04/fanzine-focus-xxxvii-lowborn-issue-i.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/04/fanzine-focus-xxxvii-lowborn-issue-i.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-04-19T12:00:00+01:00'>12:00</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2025/04/fanzine-focus-xxxvii-lowborn-issue-i.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1140210070'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=995220052347472921&postID=1706665766088270255&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=995220052347472921&postID=1706665766088270255&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=995220052347472921&postID=1706665766088270255&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Although the fanzine—a nonprofessional and nonofficial publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, got its start in Science Fiction fandom, in the gaming hobby it first started with</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Chess</i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Diplomacy</i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">fanzines before finding fertile ground in the roleplaying hobby in the 1970s. Here these amateurish publications allowed the hobby a public space for two things. First, they were somewhere that the hobby could voice opinions and ideas that lay outside those of a game’s publisher. Second, in the Golden Age of roleplaying when the Dungeon Masters were expected to create their own settings and adventures, they also provided a rough and ready source of support for the game of your choice. Many also served as vehicles for the fanzine editor’s house campaign and thus they showed how another Dungeon Master and her group played said game. This would often change over time if a fanzine accepted submissions. Initially, fanzines were primarily dedicated to the big three RPGs of the 1970s—</span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/1974-original-dungeons-dragons.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Dungeons & Dragons</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/the-classic-runequest.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">RuneQuest</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">, and</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/the-professional-traveller.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Traveller</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">—but fanzines have appeared dedicated to other RPGs since, some of which helped keep a game popular in the face of no official support.</span></div><p></p><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since 2008 with the publication of <i>Fight On #1</i>, the Old School Renaissance has had its own fanzines. The advantage of the Old School Renaissance is that the various Retroclones draw from the same source and thus one <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>-style RPG is compatible with another. This means that the contents of one fanzine will be compatible with the Retroclone that you already run and play even if not specifically written for it. <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/game-like-its-1981.html">Labyrinth Lord</a> and <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-vi.html">Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Roleplay</a> have proved to be popular choices to base fanzines around, as has <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-iii.html">Swords & Wizardry</a>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Black Pudding</i> is a fanzine that is nominally written for use with <i><b>Labyrinth Lord </b></i>and as of </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Black Pudding No. 6</i>, for use with <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2019/12/the-moldvay-way.html">Old School Essentials</a> as well, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">so is compatible with other Retroclones, but it is not a traditional <i><b>Dungeons & Dragons</b></i>-style fanzine. For starters, it is all but drawn rather than written, with artwork that reflects a look that is cartoonish, a tone that is slightly tongue in cheek, and a gonzo feel. Its genre is avowedly Swords & Sorcery, as much Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser as Conan the Barbarian. Drawn from the author’s ‘<a href="http://doomslakers.blogspot.com/">Doomslakers!</a>’ house rules and published by <a href="http://www.jwarts.com/">Random Order</a> via <a href="https://squarehex.myshopify.com/">Square Hex</a>, <i>Black Pudding</i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>’s</i></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> fantasy roleplaying content that is anything other than the straight-laced fantasy of <i><b>Dungeons & Dragons</b></i>, but something a bit lighter and not a little tongue in cheek, yet still full of adventure and heroism. Issues <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/fanzine-focus-v-black-pudding-1.html">one</a>, <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/fanzine-focus-vi-black-pudding-2.html">two</a>, and </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2018/05/fanzine-focus-xi-black-pudding-no-3.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">three</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">showcased the author’s ‘Doomslakers!’ house rules with a mix of new character Classes, spells, magic items, monsters, NPCs, and adventures, whilst </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2019/05/fanzine-focus-xvi-black-pudding-4.html">four</a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> also included </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">the author’s ‘OSR Play book’, his reference for running an Old School Renaissance game, essentially showing how he runs his own campaign. Issue</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2021/05/fanzine-focus-xxv-black-pudding-5.html" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">five</a> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">included a similar mix of new Classes, NPCs, and an adventure, but </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">did </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">begin to suggest a campaign setting, which <a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2021/08/fanzine-focus-xxvi-black-pudding-6.html">six</a> also continued as well as containing its owning wilderness area for the Player Characters to explore.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/465427/black-pudding-8?src=hottest_filtered&affiliate_id=392872">Black Pudding #8</a> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">continues in the same vein as <i>Black Pudding No. 5</i>, <i>Black Pudding No. 6</i>, and <a href="https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2023/12/fanzine-focus-xxxiii-black-pudding-7.html">Black Pudding #7</a>, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">containing a mix of new Character Classes, new monsters, NPCs, and mini-scenarios, although no further details or </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">descriptions of Yria, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">part of the ‘Doomslakers’ campaign are given. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The tongue-in-cheek tone of the fanzine begins inside the front cover with the Wizard spell, <i>Foot in Face</i>, which the wizard can prepare a round in advance and then cast instantly as a rejoinder, stunning the defender for a round, whilst on the facing page, ‘The Barbarian Blade’ which parodies Conan and eschews the use of magical swords which makes the men of the south weak. The wielder of this two-handed blade must do so with strength and without fear, but can strike any foe and inflicts 2d8 damage! It is over the top, but in keeping with the genre.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The new monsters are twists on standard types. Thus, the ‘Fee Foe’ is a giant that enjoys the blood of adventurers, lairs on roads and under bridges where it charges a toll. It is also good at throwing rocks and can block passages as if <i>Hold Portal</i> was cast. Hopefully, the players will get the pun in the name. The ‘Troglozyte’ is a version of the Troglodyte, but bigger and nastier with a fast regeneration ability and the possibility that when bitten by a Troglozyte, an adventurer might be transformed into one! The ‘Reeking Rotter’ is an undead thing whose attacks inflict ‘Rot Spatter’ which causes sufferers to retch temporarily and whose bite infests victims with rot worms that reduce their Constitution. The rot worms not only stink, but emit tiny screams! Lastly, the ‘Octonods’ are creepy scientists from another dimension that come looking for wizards’ spells and scrolls that they turn into a noxious gas to incubate their young! They are utterly lacking in joy and can sting with their tentacles, or their gaze attack can inflict damage, cast <i>Charm Person/Monster</i>, cast <i>Telekinesis</i>, or simply teleport a target away. They have the feel of big threat, perhaps an ongoing one.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first of the issue’s several new Classes is the ‘Alien’. Its strangeness means it suffers a bonus to Reaction rolls, whilst its Weird Food requirements cost more, and Weird Brain makes it immune to Sleep, Charm, and Geases. It adds a degree a complexity with ‘Strange Powers’, which enable it to project powers from its head. These powers are all potion-based, so a player will be looking at the treasure section of the rules—whether ‘Basic’ or ‘Expert’—rather than the spell lists. Whilst the ‘Alien’ is less likely to appear in many a campaign, the ‘Death Witch’ is more obviously useful. She cannot be of Good Alignment and is capable of casting both Cleric and Magic-User spells, can speak to the dead and turn undead as a Cleric, and as a ‘Skull Lover’ turns any weapon decorated with a skull into a magical weapon. In addition, she can make and place a Hex Bag on a target to trigger later for more damage. Should a Death Witch die, she will rise again in three days with a loss of Charisma and indebted to evil… </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The ‘Fighting Wombat’ Class is a silly addition, a Fighter type, but with the ability to dig tunnels, store items in its back pouch, and when unarmoured, can hide in natural surroundings like a Halfling. The ‘Goon Royal’, by Jayne X Praxis, is a rare contribution to <i>Black Pudding</i> from an author other than James V. West. Apart from a bite attack which continues to inflict damage until the target makes a successful saving throw versus paralysis and the ability to climb like the Thief Class, there is little to make the Class stand out.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The penultimate Class in <i>Black Pudding #8</i> is the ‘Feral Knight’. This is a fallen warrior, cursed to wander the wilds until he commits deeds of honour that will restore his lost glory. This is a Fighter Class, but with limited access to arms and armour. Initially only a dagger and a shield, but other weapons and armour become available as the Player Character gains Levels, whilst magical arms and armour can be used at Ninth Level. The ‘Feral Knight’ is ‘Heroic’ and has an attack bonus versus Evil enemies, immune to fear, and his ‘Courage’ gives a bonus versus mind-effecting magic. He also gains Knightly powers as he acquires Levels and does great deeds, including being able to know alignments, casting <i>Cure Light Wounds</i> three times per day, and eventually </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">cast First Level Cleric spells daily. There is a table to determine what caused the fall of the ‘Feral Knight’. There is a lot of detail to the Class, but with it plenty of roleplaying potential.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The last Class is the ‘Norg’, a Giant Kin Class. This is another Fighter Class, but one who fights with a penalty with one-handed weapons, finding armour is difficult because the each member of the Class is at least eight feet tall, is immune to cold magic effects, and has the special abilities of the Polar bear, including knowing their language. The ‘Norg’ can also speak to giants, but they will not trust the ‘Norg’. This is a simple and serviceable Class, easy to add to a campaign and roleplay. Of the six Classes in the issue, the ‘Feral Knight’ is the most interesting and the one with most gaming scope built in.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">‘Ghiki’s Hole’ is the first of two scenarios in <i>Black Pudding #8</i>. It is an adventure location, a grated hole in the ground in the wilderness, which opens onto a sheer shaft, two hundred feet deep. The caves at the bottom of the shaft are home to the titular Ghiki, a ‘Cyclops Serpent’, curled up on a pile of bones and treasure. The adventure is short and challenging, but has a pleasingly physicality with the deep shaft, some caves in the walls, and webs near bottom, but above the lair. The lair of Ghiki, quite a tough monster, is shown with the creature winding around the treasure adding further to the sense of place. The second scenario is ‘General Skull Falcon’s Hall’ (possibly, but it is not clear), in which the Player Characters ascend a snowy mountain to consult General Skull Falcon who will respect their bravery in climbing the mountain and reward them with several true facts they did not know and one false fact. This location has a hook built in, but is short enough and compact enough to drop into a campaign when that hook, the Player Character’s need for knowledge they cannot get elsewhere comes up as part of a campaign. So, a good addition in that eventuality.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the best features in <i>Black Pudding</i> is ‘Meatshields of the Bleeding Ox’, a collection of NPCs ready for hire by the Player Characters. There is a decent range of NPCs given here, such as ‘Elotar Flatulus’, a Third Level Thief with a love of tea and dislike of loud music, who has seen and done it all, but might just be getting a bit long in the tooth, and ‘Nart Flindasterd’, a Fourth Level Thief who likes precious metals, but hates guards and wizards because as a genius toddler, the son of wealthy wizard, he was dropped on his head, and ever since, he not been a genius and it really irks him. There are eight ready-to-use NPCs and each one will add a little in their own way to a Game Master’s campaign.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The big feature in <i>Black Pudding #8</i> is ‘Zasto Fillstian, War Wizard, Hellrider, Outcast of Seapath’, a major NPC who is a Seventeenth Level Magic-user and Seventh Level Star Wizard (as detailed in <i>Black Pudding #3</i>) who hunger for power and consequent actions drove him out of the city of Seapath and into a secret sanctuary in the Dweomerdrake Mountains from where he raids hidden and dangerous worlds whilst viciously protecting and hoarding what he finds. This includes, but is not limited to, a Sherman tank, adapted to run on wine or beer, given the lack of diesel. His write-up includes descriptions of his favourite treasures; his trusted agents—an alien as per the Class earlier in the book and a cold-hearted Elf; his <i>Book of Eternal Life</i>, which he won from Hell and from which he cast the spell of the same name; and Golgor, the star from which he gains some of his powers. Together with a map of his lair, this is the real big threat in the issue and would be a major presence in any campaign.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">‘Iron Devils II’ describes ten magical swords. For example, <i>Hawkhead</i> is a +1 sword that lets the wielder see through the eyes of a passing bird for a turn or <i>Whiplash</i>, a +1 sword whose curved blade negates bonuses for shields or cover, and can be thrown and will come back if the attack misses, whilst the mirror blade reflects invisible things and lets the user see through a door or over a wall once a day. All ten blades are illustrated and nicely detailed, each one adding a little different flavour.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Physically, <i>Black Pudding #8</i> adheres to the same standards set by the previous issues. So plenty of good, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">if cartoonish artwork to give it a singular, consistent look, accompanied by similar cartography. As with previous issues of the fanzine, the potential and obvious problem </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">with </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Black Pudding #8</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> is that its tone may not be compatible with the style of </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> that a Labyrinth Lord or Game Master is running. The tone of </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Black Pudding</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> is lighter, weirder, and in places just sillier than the baseline <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b> game, so the Game Master should take this into account when using the content of the fanzine.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A new issue of <i>Black Pudding</i> is always welcome, offering as it does a lighter, sometimes sillier approach to <i><b>Dungeons & Dragons</b></i>-style fantasy. This gives the fanzine a genuinely unique identity and </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Black Pudding #8</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> is no different, offering a mix of content that veers from the instantly useable to the so weird that the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Game Master is going to find it harder to add to her campaign.

Although the fanzine—a nonprofessional and nonofficial publication produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, got its start in Science Fiction fandom, in the gaming hobby it first started with </span><b><i>Chess</i></b><span> and </span><i><b>Diplomacy</b></i><span> fanzines before finding fertile ground in the roleplaying hobby in the 1970s. Here these amateurish publications allowed the hobby a public space for two things. First, they were somewhere that the hobby could voice opinions and ideas that lay outside those of a game’s publisher. Second, in the Golden Age of roleplaying when the Dungeon Masters were expected to create their own settings and adventures, they also provided a rough and ready source of support for the game of your choice. Many also served as vehicles for the fanzine editor’s house campaign and thus they showed how another Dungeon Master and her group played said game. This would often change over time if a fanzine accepted submissions. Initially, fanzines were primarily dedicated to the big three RPGs of the 1970s</span><span>—</span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/1974-original-dungeons-dragons.html" target="_blank">Dungeons & Dragons</a><span>,</span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/the-classic-runequest.html" target="_blank">RuneQuest</a><span>, and </span><a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/the-professional-traveller.html" target="_blank">Traveller</a><span>—</span><span>but fanzines have appeared dedicated to other RPGs since, some of which helped keep a game popular in the face of no official support.</span></span></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Since 2008 with the publication of <i>Fight On #1</i>, the Old School Renaissance has had its own fanzines. The advantage of the Old School Renaissance is that the various Retroclones draw from the same source and thus one <b><i>Dungeons & Dragons</i></b>-style RPG is compatible with another. This means that the contents of one fanzine will compatible with the Retroclone that you already run and play even if not specifically written for it. <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/game-like-its-1981.html" target="_blank">Labyrinth Lord</a> and <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-vi.html" target="_blank">Lamentations of the Flame Princess Weird Fantasy Roleplay</a> have proved to be popular choices to base fanzines around, as has <a href="http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/white-box-fever-iii.html" target="_blank">Swords & Wizardry</a>. Another popular choice of system for fanzines, is Goodman Games’ <a href="https://www.blogger.com/[http://rlyehreviews.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/game-like-its-another-1974.html" target="_blank">Dungeon Crawl Classics Roleplaying Game</a>, such as <a href="http://crawlfanzine.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crawl!</a> and <a href="http://crawlingunderabrokenmoon.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Crawling Under a Broken Moon</a>. Some of these fanzines provide fantasy support for the <i><b>Dungeon Crawl Classics Roleplaying Game</b></i>, but others explore other genres for use with <i><b>Dungeon Crawl Classics Roleplaying Game</b></i>. One such fanzine is the aforementioned <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/237631/Crawling-Under-a-Broken-Moon-Compilation-DCC?affiliate_id=392872">Crawling Under A Broken Moon</a>.</span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/148660/crawling-under-a-broken-moon-fanzine-issue-7-dcc?affiliate_id=392872"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/148660/crawling-under-a-broken-moon-fanzine-issue-7-dcc?affiliate_id=392872"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisQzBksy4HZvZfgcsXSsICB5aaDb1ZVHZmJPxpnCjRf6sbQBkzsIK1IbBWc45hW7FD-LoNnLwS-4hyl0dyl5B82czV0Ok-XEqQkbCcZRpHD-okNHA4N_XvgQCi9v5PbyTIAyVxGvQApkX9aSC5LsJgHUHXOV6zwyszxxDJGXXaXwVkKm2n4oSQ0ETHw-Bv/s1275/Crawling%20Under%20A%20Broken%20Moon%20fanzine%20issue%20%237.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="825" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisQzBksy4HZvZfgcsXSsICB5aaDb1ZVHZmJPxpnCjRf6sbQBkzsIK1IbBWc45hW7FD-LoNnLwS-4hyl0dyl5B82czV0Ok-XEqQkbCcZRpHD-okNHA4N_XvgQCi9v5PbyTIAyVxGvQApkX9aSC5LsJgHUHXOV6zwyszxxDJGXXaXwVkKm2n4oSQ0ETHw-Bv/w259-h400/Crawling%20Under%20A%20Broken%20Moon%20fanzine%20issue%20%237.jpg" width="259" /></a></div><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/148660/crawling-under-a-broken-moon-fanzine-issue-7-dcc?affiliate_id=392872">Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. 7</a><span> </span><span>was published in in December, 2014 by </span><a href="http://crawlingunderabrokenmoon.blogspot.com/">Shield of Faith Studios</a><span>.

The setting itself is a </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">world brought about after a rogue object from deep space passed between the Earth and the Moon and ripped apart time and space, leaving behind a planet which would recover, but leave its inhabitants ruled by savagery, cruel sorcery, and twisted science.<br /><br /><i>Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. 7</i></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> continues heavily from one of the major post-apocalypse genre’s touchstones for the inspiration for its content, which was the <i>Mad Max</i> series of films. <i>Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. 7</i> continues to draw from that inspiration, but provides content beyond </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">the notions of vehicular combat between radically customised vehicles across the post-apocalyptic landscape. So alongside new vehicles and rules for them, it adds a new Class that continues the mechanical feel of the previous issue and details a major location within the setting of </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Umerica and Urth.<br /><br />The new Class is </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">‘The Cyborg’. This Class is adept with any and all missile weapons and one-handed or built-in weapons, and because it has artificial body parts, it is more difficult to damage. This reduces the amount of damage it might suffer from any source and also from critical hits. However, damage suffered to the mechanical body parts cannot be healed, but must be repaired. What this means mechanically, is that any damage suffered is divided into two parts—‘Meat and ‘Non-Meat’—but together still represents the total amount of damage suffered. Although this combines to give an advantage and a disadvantage to the Cyborg, it also increases the record keeping for the player. The ‘Juryrig’ ability and its associated die enable the Cyborg to repair itself—or at least its ‘Non-Meat’ bits—and other bits of technology and even find salvage. At First Level and then every third Level after that, the Cyborg can upgrade itself, with ‘Advanced composites’, which decreases the amount damage that the Cyborg will suffer to its ‘Non-Meat’ bits, ‘Targeter System’ that give a bonus to all ranged attacks, and ‘Armoured Plating’ which increases its Armour Class. All of the Upgrades can be selected more than once, but the bonuses gained are marginal. This is a pared down version of a Cyborg Class which could have been much more complex than it is.</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div><br /></div><div>If <i>Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. 6</i> dealt with automobiles, ‘Trains, Planes, and Mobile Suits’ in this issue deals with the rest—and more. First trains, dividing engine types into small and large and adding a handful of cars as well as traits to add to them like ‘Refrigeration’ and ‘Super Hauler’. Driving a train is treated like driving a vehicle, though with minor adjustments and a ‘Locomotive Wipeout Results’ table should the engineer lose control of the train. Added to this are rules for ‘Gyrocopters and Ultralights’ <i>a la</i> <i>Mad Max 2</i>, which are more complex. They have their own cruising height and the higher an altitude a gyrocopter or ultralight is at, the harder it is for its pilot to target ground targets and for anyone on the ground to hit him, whilst there is a lower chance of turbulence at higher altitudes and lower penalties to the aircraft’s Handle Modifier. Crashing from higher altitude increases the damage taken, of course. The Handle Modifier is used for the Vehicle Control roll and if the roll is failed, gyrocopters and ultralights, have their own ‘Aerial Wipeout Results’ table. gyrocopters and ultralights also have their traits, such as ‘Auto Rotate’, ‘Bomb Rack’, and ‘Glider’.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unlike trains and ground vehicles, aircraft are not easy to pilot and pilots must use a much smaller Action Die whilst learning to fly and getting in sufficient practice. The same is true of the last type of vehicle covered in the article, which are mechs and other robo-vehicles. These are also divided between light and heavy mechs and have their own traits, like ‘High Maintenance’ and ‘Mecha’, the latter means that it can move in an anthropomorphic fashion. All of this mixes and matches a lot of different apocalyptic genres, but the inclusion of trains suggests a post-apocalyptic where societies have been founded and begun to recover or construct old technology and thus create infrastructure and a semblance of civilisation. Of course, there are regions still recovering or still lawless, so the other vehicles are perhaps better suited those.</div><div><br /></div><div>That sense of growing civilisation is more fully explored in ‘The Citadel of Scrap’, an entry in the ‘Interesting Places To Die’ series. This describes an actual metropolis, best known for some of the best-preserved artefacts from the twenty-first century, surviving infrastructure and railway hub, and being run by a triumvirate magocracy formed of the cybersorcerers, the Three Royals, who together have built the tallest building in the city, the four storey Growling Tower, to encase the Pit of the God in gears and metal, whilst each hopes to be the one powerful enough to control the god when it awakes. Each of the city’s various districts are described, including the Trash Mines in The Ruins, where a greetings card factory has been found and Forgotten Home, an immaculately maintained replica of twenty-first century living where the inhabitants live in denial of the Broken Moon. Included is a small table of job opportunities—there could have been more, and whilst ‘The Citadel of Scrap’ further develops the world of Umerica and Urth. A map of the city would have been useful.</div></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div><br /></div><div>‘The Rail Wastes’ is a companion piece to the earlier ‘Trains, Planes, and Mobile Suits’, a set of short tables of encounters that take on the railway lines or in the ‘rail wastes’ that run parallel to the line through unoccupied or barren territory. Which means that can happen whilst the Player Characters are aboard a train, whilst ‘Spare Change’ covers the coinage and means of exchange in Umerica and Urth, including ‘cp’ or ‘charm pieces’, ‘sp’ or ‘shells and powder’, and ‘gp’ or ‘Gasoline/Petrol or Gas Promissory Note’. It keeps it simple and again builds on the setting’s growing civilisation. </div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly, the regular ‘Twisted Menagerie’ presents in some detail three new monsters: the Autogiest, the Bounder, and the Discarded. The first is a conglomerate spirit of those who have died in violent car wrecks and joined together to punish the living, searching the wastelands for a suitable vehicle to possess and then it goes on a rampage as an undead car fiend, attempting to run down anyone it finds. Although the body, that is, the vehicle can be destroyed, this only frees the spirit to hunt for another vehicle. It must be exorcised to truly defeat it. Each Autogiest has its own, random special ability. The Bounder is the mutated descendant of kangaroos kept in North American zoos, which can be ridden—often by nomads—and can have its very Australian-themed special abilities. Lastly, the Discarded is an agglomeration of old, broken, or unwanted cyber implants which together hunt those who discarded them! These are all fun additions to the setting.</div></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Physically, </span><i style="font-family: georgia;">Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. 7</i><span style="font-family: georgia;"> is serviceably presented. It is a little rough around the edges, as is some of the artwork, but overall, it is another decent affair. Of course, the </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">problem with </span><i style="font-family: georgia;">Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. </i><span style="font-family: georgia;">6 is that much of its contents have been represented to a more professional standard in the pages of </span><b style="font-family: georgia;"><i>The Umerican Survival Guide – Core Setting Guide</i></b><span style="font-family: georgia;">, so it has been superseded by a cleaner, slicker presentation of the material.<br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. 7</i> is a companion piece to </span></span><i style="font-family: georgia;">Crawling Under A Broken Moon Fanzine Issue No. 6</i><span style="font-family: georgia;">, continuing the mechanical theme with more vehicles and the Cyborg Class. Yet it also develops the setting itself with the description of ‘The Citadel of Scrap’, providing context for many of the articles in this and previous issues.
