Vintage RPG

Max Moon’s The Wig Maker’s Fingers (2024) is the only Into the Odd scenario I own and, to my increasingly spotty recollection, the only one I have encountered.

I was psyched about Mythic Bastionland (2025) soon as it was first announced.

Hilarious, after introducing the continent of Taladas (Time of the Dragon, 1989) to Dragonlance and not really knowing what to do with it, here’s DLR1: Otherlands (1990), three more Dragonlance locations no one ever cared about.

DLA3: Dragon’s Rest (1990) wraps up the series.

DLA2: Dragon Knight (1990) continues the…saga seems like a strong word here.

I’ve had the DLA-series modules laying around for ages and never cracked them open.

A week of love/hate for Dragonlance.

Not a werewolf exclusive book, but there is a whole section on them.

The Story of Werewolves (1978) by Thomas G.

Meet the Werewolf (1976), by Georgess McHargue, would eventually become part of the Eerie Series (joined by her Meet the Vampire and Meet the Witches).

Nancy Garden’s Werewolves (1973) was another entry in the Weird and Horrible Library.

Cue up Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London.”

Honestly, picked this one primarily for the Angus McBride cover that depicts a Gondorian in combat with a Corsair of Umbar on the deck of a violently listing ship.

Every time I look at this cover, I hear Orlando Bloom shout “Crebain from Dunland!”

Halls of the Elven King (1988) is the most interesting of the Fortresses of Middle-earth series.

Calenhad: A Beacon of Gondor (1990) has a better sense of scale than Weathertop.

I did Teeth of Mordor last year and the Nazgul’s Citadel a while back, so I thought this week I would finish up the Fortresses of Middle-earth line for Iron Crown’s MERP (Middle-earth Role Playing).

After four days of me slamming all things Willow, I forgive you if you’re predisposed to think that The Willow Game (1988) stinks.

Tonka’s line of tie-in toys for Willow (1988) is one of the stranger ones from the ’80s.

I don’t know why I own Willow: The Picture Storybook (1988), but I do.

Here’s a funny thing: Willow (February, 1988), by Wayland Drew.

Today I bring hard truths: Willow (1988) kinda sucks.
