Your Source For Adventure!
|
Happy Fourth of July! If you are in the United States today is the day to enjoy meat that has been put out over an open fire and to watch things explode--hopefully not over the open fire. Around here we're celebrating in our own way with a limited time offer for free pulp novels, the new Trapsylvania Kickstarter, the release of Mutant Crawl Classics, and a whole lot more.
Let's get to it!
|
|
FREE PULP NOVEL FOR LIMITED TIME!
Get a free classic sci-fi or fantasy novel with qualifying purchase!
Classic pulp novels are a great source of inspiration for your RPG games, with their authentic painted cover art and wildly imaginative "pre-genre" plots. Now through the end of July (or until we run out of books), each paid
online store order for print or physical products
comes with a free vintage novel. Heck, with especially large orders we might even throw in TWO novels.
Some quick guides about the offer:
- There are a ton of books in this offer, but we do not promise—nor do we think—that the collection contains actual Appendix N novels. Don’t let that dissuade you, though! There are lots of cool vintage sci-fi and fantasy to be given out.
- Offer is through the end of July (or until we run out of books)
- This offer EXCLUDES pre-orders. Only current, in-stock items.
- This offer only qualifies for paid orders through our online store.

THE VIZIER'S VIEWS: DUNGEON ALPHABET 4TH PRINTING
The Martian Vizier with his latest review.
“They are dungeons, yes,” said the Martian Vizier, “but not like those of Your Exalted Highness. Far from being oubliettes to keep those best forgotten, they are places wherein memories of adventure are created and stored.”
The Warlord’s frown was one of perplexity rather than displeasure. They had long known each other, these two, and each considered the other a true companion against the adversities of far-sighted Fate.
“And this is a game,” the Warlord said, nodding. He had played at games of war, with miniature armies, but not games of individual daring such as this one his Vizier was revealing to him. “Tell me, Lord Koraz-hu, are these…dungeons…difficult to create?”
“Your Majesty, they are not,” said the Vizier with a smile. “Not if one has the right tools...”

ADVENTURES IN FICTION: RAY HARRYHAUSEN
A look at the life of a visual master.
June 29th celebrates what would have been Ray Harryhausen’s 98th birthday. As one of the most celebrated special effects wizards in the history of cinema, his impact on filmmaking goes beyond reproach. Many of the most talented directors of the last fifty years directly cite him as a profound influence, including Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro, James Cameron, Edgar Wright, and Steven Spielberg. But what about role-playing games? How did he affect those? We’ll discuss that in a moment, but first, some background...

ADVENTURES IN FICTION: LORD DUNSANY
One of the era's most influential authors.
Some Appendix N authors directly influenced the creation of fantasy role-playing. We see concrete inspiration in the trolls borrowed from Poul Anderson or the “Vancian” magic system of
D&D
. Other Appendix N writers exerted a less obvious influence, providing more a sense of tone and wonder than any specific element. It can be argued, however, that one Appendix N author wielded the greatest influence on fantasy role-playing not because his works were borrowed wholesale or served to color Gygax and Arneson’s campaigns, but because he inspired numerous other Appendix N writers, impelling them to create the stories from which RPGs derive their origins...

ADVENTURES IN FICTION: LIN CARTER
An oft-overlooked master storyteller.
Linwood Vrooman Carter was born on June 9th, 1930 in St. Petersburg, Florida. In the august company of his fellow Appendix N authors, Lin Carter is a figure both of high esteem and some controversy. As an editor and critic, he is indispensable, most notably for his role in editing the landmark
Ballantine Adult Fantasy
series (BAFS), which ran from 1969-1974 and re-introduced such luminaries as Lord Dunsany, William Hope Hodgson, and Clark Ashton Smith to the fantasy-reading public. As the series gained traction, Carter also championed newer writers such as Joy Chant and Katherine Kurtz, whose long-running
Deryni
series was first published under the BAFS imprint...
