I have talked a lot about Basic Fantasy in the past. It is one of my favorites of the Retro-Clone movement and it in many ways reflects how I played back in the early 80s with a mix of Basic D&D and Advanced D&D. Something I think that a lot of people did and something that creator Chris Gonnerman was keenly aware of.
A while back I discovered he had done ANOTHER game called Iron Falcon.
Iron Falcon, like Basic Fantasy, is a Basic-era Retro Clone, though more on the side of OD&D than AD&D. Gonnerman is more explicit about this being a game not of the rules "as they were written" but more "as we played them."
That appeals to me.
You can get Iron Falcon in lots of places. In particular the dedicated website, Lulu, Amazon and of course DriveThruRPG. I hope to play around with it some more to see what it is all about, but so far it feels like a nice mix of OD&D feel and Basic D&D play.
But today I want to talk about the Iron Falcon Handbook of Monsters. Or rather, let's let Chris Gonnerman talk about it and his plans for it.
The Cafepress shop can be found here, https://www.cafepress.com/ironfalcon.
There is a lot of cool merchandise here and like Chris mentions, the difference here between this and a Kickstarter is you get something right away. I think it is a great idea. I am going to have to grab a t-shirt or two.
So check it out and come back every month to see what is new and different.
I'll try to get some Iron Falcon reviews up soon.
LOVE Iron Falcon, def my fave "clone".
