What's the point of painting all these miniatures if they're never going to see the battlefield?

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Stu breaks down and admits he really wants to play a miniature wargame: Mike Hutchinson's Hobgoblin! It's a lightweight, minis agnostic, quick-playing set of rule to get your miniatures on the table and killing each other as fast as possible. Now I just gotta finish painting this orc army...

Oh, the Libyan Gorgon. [Tries to look like he knows what he's talking about] This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we crack open an ur-Monster Manual, Ernst and Johanna Lehner's 1969 A Fantastic Bestiary. Essentially a Dover clip art book (and reissued by Dover under a different title) with some light historical context, there are textual clues that seem to indicate it was an important reference work for Gygax and company. And I think it might have partly inspired the idea of a highly illustrated hardcover book of monsters!

Who needs the sky, anyway?

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Yamil  about When the Sky Comes Looking for You, a zine for both Weird Frontiers and Dungeon Crawl Classics. Hired by a luchador loan-shark to collect a debt, the characters need to stop an airship before it gets to the otherworldly Near to make good on the contract. Sorcery, monsters, worms -- all in a day's work, right?

Back When the Sky Comes Looking for You on Kickstarter now!

Have you done all you can to prevent a würm infestation? I doubt it. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we chat with Brian Colin about Sqwürmish, a delightfully gross, over-the-top miniature skirmish game for his Vast Grim RPG setting. Derived from Forbidden Psalm, in Sqwürmish you build a crew, pop 'em on the table and do your damnedest to survive, preferably without getting infested with würms (ew). Like Forbidden Psalm, you can play with any old miniatures you have laying around, but this Kickstarter includes some very sweet miniatures, for use with Sqwürmish or Vast Grim! Get 'em, and some neon paints and maybe some of that drippy gloss varnish and get that war gang good and yicky!

Back Sqwürmish on Kickstarter now! And check out the rest of the Vast Grim universe!

I think the horrible little spider guy might be up to no good.

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Christopher Drellow joins us to discuss Glumdark, a collection of system neutral random tables that will inject plenty of darkness, terror, vileness, random teeth and silliness into your campaign. Yup, silliness too! Inspired by grim and perilous RPGs of the past and present, but also by early bookmaking practices, and brought to squalid life by the artist Vil with illustrations both horrible and hilarious (and hilariously horrible, even), there is something here for every player to enjoy or be grossed out by.

Just watch out for Frank.

Back Glumdark on Kickstarter now! Get a taste of the original tables on Glumdark.com!

Gotta build some muscles to swing a sword (and some cardio to run from monsters)! This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we talk to designer Tyler Welch and illustrator Graham Barey about their new exercise-oriented zine The Adventurer's Guide to Exercise. Tyler's a personal trainer and has created a work-out regimen tailored to your inner Fighter, Thief or Ranger in the hopes of inspiring folks in our very sit-around hobby to get more active and mighty. A worthy goal!

Podcasters take a break, forget how to podcast. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, Stu and John come back from the longest break they've taken from recording since the start of the podcast and find it difficult to knock the rust off and get back tothe normal format. Instead, they chat about games they're playing, places their going and play a silly game involving obscure D&D monsters.

Adventure gamebook? How about an adventure gameworld? 

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we look at Fabled Lands, a seven-volume series of adventure gamebooks by Dave Morris, Jamie Thompson and Paul Gresty, featuring art by the legendary Russ Nicholson. Unlike most gamebooks, which tell one story, each volume of Fabled Lands is dedicated to a single region of a larger world, allowing for sandbox-style exploration and many, many possible quests. You can get lost in the threads!
