Yes, meat sorcery!

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're theoretically talking to Tiger Wizard about Abattoir Hymnal, his collaboration with Donn Stroud for Demon Month. In practice, we wind up talking about a lot of other stuff too!

Oh wait, this is supposed to be a podcast about roleplaying games?

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're talking local news, Daniel Cohen books, new phones and more, pretty much everything but RPGs. Sometimes that happens!

In which I make the baseless argument that this is the first Monster Manual.

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we're going back in time to 1887 to check out J.W. Buel's unhinged tome of natural history, Sea and Land. 800 pages, with 300 illustrations depicting the natural world at its hungriest. A glorious thing.

Ninjas, ninjas, ninjas, they're all Stu wants to talk about these days.

Also a follow-up on the Worlds of TSR art book and a plug for Graham Barey's excellent graphic novel/Troika supplement Black Orb.

Art & Arcana? Pffft, go back to the source!

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we pull the TSR art books off the shelf. That's The Art of Dragon Magazine, The Art of the Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Game, The Art of Dragonlance and The Art of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Game. That's a lot of art! And one more to come!

Troooooooooll!

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out Trollpak, Chaosium's boxset that explores the nature of RuneQuest's trolls. It's a thoughtful approach to a "monstrous" species that sharply contrasts with most games of the period, and a lot of games now, even.

Plus: An update on Spellbinders!

Of stock lists and ancient history.

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we explore Castle Thrax and the Spellbinders' treasure. That is, Spellbinders Games, a shop in Akron that published Castle Thrax, also had a lot of interesting titles in their stock list that don't seem to exist. Or do they? We'd like to know!

Exploring a country still all mystery. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we venture to Mythic Britain & Ireland, a Vaesen sourcebook by Graeme Davis. A labor of love, the book presents all you need to run a game of Vaesen in the British Isles, including scenarios, monsters and mystery seeds. But in addition to being an RPG book, it also works as an introduction to the landscape of folklore that's so unique to Britain and Ireland. Fantastic stuff, and gorgeous illustrations to boot.

Graeme Davis has a Patreon dedicated to monsters, their lore and resources for their use in RPG, appropriately called The Monster of the Month Club. You should join!

If the lights go out, you're dead.

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out Shadowdark, a recent hack that brings the old school feel to 5E. Pack extra torches! [I think it was Epidiah Ravachol who I saw recently saying "D&D and its shadows]
