Black Blade Publishing imprint of OSRIC is not only the most definitive printing of OSRIC to date, but also the single greatest resource for old school gamers since the three original hardbacks written by E. Gary Gygax.

He's being healed by the cleric and blasted by the dragon.

Beer and liquor companies put out promo guitars:

. . . http://www.jedistar.com/beer_guitars.htm

I have a similar promo guitar coming in the mail. Unlike most of those guitars, this guitar does not have the hardware or hardware routing in the body. It has only a neck and body and tuners.

Should I keep it as-is? Should I chisel and Dremel some routing for the pick-ups and wiring?

If I played guitar and cared enough to actually have one of these, I might be interested in a Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schaefer or Carling Black Label guitar. That way when I showed up at parties with my guitar, people would whisper to each other, "God I hope his guitar playing isnt as bad as his taste in beer".

Hey everyone,

I don't normally put links that are not related to the forum, but I thought this article was interesting.

Mine is number 12 and I chose a wide frame covered in black leather with a dark charcoal matte. The glass is low glare archival quality glass.
I am very happy with the picture and am looking forward to seeing the sample artwork for the next project.

Looks great!

Just sitting around sorting out my printings of L1, discovered the ratty old copy I played & played as a kid, the one with the scotch tape on the spine, pencil-noted & doodled margins, scuffs, & wears, and dog-ears, the one that's been with me through about 4 moves and is older than all my kids put together, is a first print.

I think that's kinda neat

Truth!

Mark, I don't know if you've ever posted about this, I spotted your submission in one of the early Dungeon issues... would you share a little about what the process was like and how it was dealing with the publisher/editor. (You must have been pretty young.

) And pardon me for not knowing, but were you published elsewhere?

Free poster from Goodman Games...promo for their Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG coming out soon.

All you have to do is send them an email asking for a copy. Why not?

(Presumably, you get the poster and they get an old-school gaming mailing list. If you are old school, that's a good thing.)

My poster arrived today.

Huh. Just tried to send them an e-mail to request one, and the address was rejected. Supplies must have run out.

I believe you can still buy the original painting by the artist at http://www.dougkovacs.com/home.html
Otherwise, Hugh the Barbarian & his magical striped bellbottoms will grace the back cover of the DCC RPG. If you can't wait for that to be published, content yourself with these old videos of what Hugh was doing in the early-'80s. What a party guy.
