I am a sucker for maps. Always have been. When I was a kid, I’d buy old National Geographics – but only if they came with the maps. So when the HPL Historical Society put up their Gamer Prop Pack of maps, I was instantly sold:
Don’t know what I’m gonna do with them (I am going to do something), but they’re really pretty.
There are many seekers after the truth, and the only thing they agree upon is that there’s a truth to be sought. Some never find their truth. Some find it, but don’t survive the experience. Some lucky few gather together, and explore their new truth together.

I kind of prefer The Secret World for Savage Worlds over the version for D&D. I’m more likely to play a Savage Worlds game, after all – at least, I’m more likely to play one in person, and/or at a convention. My virtual Sunday game is gonna be on Spelljammer for a good while yet.
It’s called Dangerous Associations, and it’s a collection of a bunch of the Group Seeds I’ve done on this site over the years. It’s not approved yet, but if you go on my page there you will see Tomes of Unusual Knowledge, which is likewise totally a thing.
I don’t know what I’m doing next on the RPG front, so feel free to offer suggestions! Bear in mind I can’t put anything up there that isn’t covered under an OGL.
I decided I wanted a little more art for the RPG project, and I didn’t have any representatives from the Second Republic anyway… So. ghulman, merman, and oldman. Or, you know, Ghoul, Deep One, and Necromancer. But they’re all really very nice people*.
And what of the RPG project? …Well, I’m trying to set up more playtesting. Then there’s the vignettes to incorporate, and more art. After that? We’ll see. I may decide to crowdfund. People crowdfund RPG stuff like nobody’s business.

*I was unambiguous about the necromancer. Perky Goth with magnificent hair, I told Ben Fleuter. Heaving-capable bosom, said me. Clearly, Ben understood the assignment.
Finally. I know this is going to sound weird – and it’s certainly not Atomic Overmind’s fault – but the USPS hijacked my copy of REIGN for an entire month and used it to play a bizarre game of Pong between Minnesota and Texas. I have no idea why. The address was fine. AO reused it when sending out the book again, no problem.
Ach, well. At least it’s here now.
PS: “At long last, Greg Stolze’s game of Lords and Leaders returns! Reign: Rules and Reign: Realms together form the second edition of this One Role Engine-powered fantasy game in which your characters can can defend and bring prosperity to threatened lands–or, if you prefer, conquer and pillage on a vast and awesome scale.” In case you were wondering.
Because the HPL Historical Society knows what makes their target audience fail their save vs. shiny roll: GAMER PROP PACK – MAP COLLECTION. I mean. That thing should come with a warning label.
[Unfortunately, they’re publishing the books in the People’s Republic of China. Even more unfortunately, the nature of the project is such that it could conceivably be censored by the People’s Republic of China. Find different publishing options, folks.]
