Astounding Tales: The Fighter Class

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 29, 2009 by RandallApril 11, 2022

I’ve renamed my new “no level advancement” project. It’s now Astounding Tales of Swords and Sorcery which should have even less chance of being confused with Matthew and Jeffery’s upcoming Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea RPG. The Fighter is … Continue reading →

Under the Pyramid: A Megadungeon — Level Three (Part One)

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 22, 2009 by RandallApril 11, 2022

I made the mistake of saying “Coming soon: Level Three” in my Under the Pyramid: A Megadungeon — Level Two post on November 7th. Here it is — or at least the first half of it. Better late than never, … Continue reading →

New Project: Astonishing Tales of Swords and Sorcery RPG

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 21, 2009 by RandallApril 11, 2022

It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted. My wife and I having to share a computer (as her motherboard died and cancer bills don’t leave us enough money to replace it) accounts for part of why I haven’t … Continue reading →

Free Old School RPG: Monsters and Mazes

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 9, 2009 by RandallApril 11, 2022

Sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s, John Garwood wrote a small roleplaying game called Monsters & Mazes. It was published as a text file designed to be printed on a printer — complete with “end of page” codes … Continue reading →

Under the Pyramid: A Megadungeon — Level Two

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 7, 2009 by RandallApril 11, 2022

Sorry for the delay, I had intended to do one level of the dungeon every day. Unfortunately, offline life is not cooperating. However, here is a description — taken from my old design notes — of the second level of … Continue reading →

Under the Pyramid: A Megadungeon — Level One

RetroRoleplaying Posted on November 2, 2009 by RandallApril 11, 2022

The very first dungeon I created was a double pyramid. Imagine a diamond shaped building buried in the ground do that only a large pyramid is visible. As might be expected, this dungeon was awful. People had fun playing in … Continue reading →
