Thanks everyone!

Thank you all,

The hosts of the Roll for Initiative Podcast, the original AD&D podcast, spent a show reviewing our latest issue - Urban Adventuring!

I think they liked it, but listen for yourself: OSR Gaming • View topic - Volume 3 Issue 138 - & Magazine Issue 8
Then check out Issue 8 to see if you agree or not: www.and-mag.com

Be well and thanks for reading!

The first segment of the Castle Triskelion Mega-Dungeon has published!

The Castle Triskelion is a sprawling multi-level castle/dungeon that has numerous levels above and below ground! This free supplement for Old School role-playing games is being published in segments. The first two segments are the Introduction and the Ground Level. Click either image to navigate to the & Magazine web site:

Image . . . . . Image

The Introduction provides background on the Castle, including new monsters and items.

The Ground Level is the first module in this exciting series — it details the ground level (1st floor) of the Castle in 20 stimulating pages. This first segment is designed for low level adventurers. As with all mega-dungeons, the level of future segments will ramp up along side of the character's level.

Stay tuned for more segments!


The Castle Triskelion mega-dungeon is written by Tim Stypinski, and is published through the & Publishing Group web site.

& Magazine Issue 10 Is On It's Way!

Image
Art by & Magazine artist Chris Letzelter

It's August, and that means that & Publishing Group is putting the finishing touches on its tenth issue, an issue focused on the Shape Changers. How's a shape changer to survive in a world where ‘solids' are always looking to kill you? Len Lakofka explores whatever happens to the clothes and possessions of those who shapeshift, polymorph and the like. And Issue 10 would not be complete without an analysis of the etiology of lycanthropy. Andrew Hamilton continues his exploration of the Otherworld; a fairie realm inspired in part by John "Gnarley Bones" Turcotte's Red Tam's Bones modules. As well as an intriguing NWP for "Monster Lore" by Vince Lethal -- to handle some of those metagaming difficulties when your players have memorized the Monster Manual.

There's also adventures, creatures, foes, maps, and other useful materials we feel you'd enjoy, along with the usual things you've come to expect from & Magazine. As well as more on missile fire from Len Lakofka, more spell lists from Tim Moore, text-based gaming by Thomas W. Thornberry, and magic items and spells from Stuart Marshall with that OSRIC flavor of course. Tim Connolly continues a favorite from last issue, his BrewMaster column, this issue's topic - "For Crits and Giggles". As well as much, much more from all our fantastic regular authors, artists, and cartographers that our readers come to expect!

When I go to the & Magazine web site I do not have a scroll bar on the right hand side.  The only way for me to see the full page to download older issues is to shrink the screen zoom level to about 20%.  At this minute level, I can't read a thing.  Am I missing something, or does the web site need some work?  (I did manage to download all the back issues, but it's a pain).  :?

Crap. The Web Admin is saying there were issues after an upgrade. It looks good for me (on CHROME) but he's rechecking everything now.
Very sorry about that. Hope you at least enjoy the issues, I appreciate you spending the time and effort to get them!
:oops:

I'm using internet explorer on my computer at work (shhh....don't tell anyone) and I'm still having the same issue.  I'll try it at home and let you know how things work there.  Additionally, I didn't just have this problem.  I got on a few months back and got some of the earilier issues and had to do the same thing that time too.   :?
