I almost forgot I had backed this! But this came in the mail yesterday.
I got the Public School Edition because, as always, I am a sucker for a book with a ribbon bookmark.
It came with a lot of stuff.
There is so much here. I have no idea if I'll play this or not, but it is a very silly game.
I know my oldest is going to love it.
A fantastic Mail Call Tuesday today! I got my copies of Thirteen Parsecs.
I am very pleased with how these turned out.
The leathers look great and great with NIGHT SHIFT and Wasted Lands.
I even grabbed a new dice bag!
Can't wait to share more of this with you all.
A very special Mail Call on a Wednesday today. A book I have been eagerly anticipating. Djinn Unboxed!
This art book from my very good friend Djinn just landed on my shores this morning all the way from her home in Italy. At 330+ pages it is crammed full of her wonderful, often D&D-inspired, art.
And there is not a lot I can show you here either! Djinn's art tends toward the risqué and sometime pornographic, but always tastefully so if not outright fun.
Much of the art features her D&D character, the witch Solaine, and some of it is also her alter-ego Djinn.
But there is an entire feature on my little witch Larina!
There is a lot more than that, but these are the ones I feel safest sharing. Besides, want to see more? Buy the book!
Djinn's D&D world is a fun place where Solaine battles seas monsters on a pirate ship, accidentally summons amorous demons, and libraries are anything but quiet.
Not sure when this book will go on general sale, I know she is working on getting copies out to her Kickstarter backers now. But I hope to see a lot more.

Some good things in my mail this week!
Up first the new Swords & Wizardry books from their most recent Kickstarter.
Even the GM's Screen is good.
Also got my Glow in the Dark Sorceress from ReAction / Super 7.
Pretty cool, really.
Maybe I should stat her up as a S&W Warlock sometime. There is no S&W Sorcerer. Or maybe I should make one.
It's Tuesday, let's see what I have in the mail from the week. It was my birthday two weeks ago, and Father's Day, so I splurged and bought myself some Print On Demand titles from DriveThruRPG.
I am starting an AD&D 2nd Edition game with my oldest and I thought these might be fun. He is running the 5e Vecna adventure for his own group and he has used Vecna, or at least the Critical Role version, in his Tal'Dorei campaign as well.
The adventures make for a loose trilogy that spans the 1990s and AD&D 2nd Edition. From Greyhawk, to Ravenloft, to system agnostic (more or less).
Again, I am reading these and thinking of a universe-spanning adventure. Add in some elements from the 5e adventure and then bits from 3e and 4e for the hell of it.
OR. I could put the same effort into my "Necromancer" adventures. The Necromancer largely fills the same role in my games as Vecna.
In any case, I am happy to have all of these now.
Got a nice surprise in the mail this past week. My latest adventure in the Frightshow Classics line of "Chilling" adventures from Yeti Spaghetti & Friends.
Golem is my first adventure written to take place in NYC and honestly I really came to understand why New Yorkers love their city so much. I mean, don't get me wrong, I am not moving out of my beloved Chicago. But I do understand them a little better.
You can get your PDF copy from DriveThruRPG. Or contact the publisher directly for Print copies.
While you are at it, you can get both of my adventures!
The Nightmare is also available at DriveThruRPG along with other great Frighshow Classics adventures.
Got some things to support two of my new on-going obsessions.
Up first, some new HeroForge "standee" minis of Duchess & Candella.
They are flat, made of plastic about 3 mm thick. Their colors and design perfectly match those I used on HeroForge.
They got here rather quick to be honest. Much faster than the 3D-printed color minis. And cheaper too.
I always wanted to try these, and since I needed these minis in a hurry I opted to go this route for these two. I am happy with them, but I do prefer the 3D color minis. But they do come with nice little bags to store the mini or dice in.
Next up a "new to me" version of one of my all-time favorite games. The Spanish Language version of CJ Carella's WitchCraft RPG.
The Spanish Language version from Edge most resembles the Eden Studios 2nd Edition. The text is the same and the art is the same.
The difference of course is this new Edge version is in Spanish.
I am happy to have this as this was one of the other "Holy Grail" items for my Spanish collection of RPGs. It was also the last CJ Carella WitchCraft book I am likely able to buy.
I am pleased that I was able to read a lot of it. Granted, my Spanish is still very limited, but I know this book very, very well.
My collection of Spanish Language RPGs is not huge, but it covers my favorite games and about 85-90% of the games I like to play.
Not a lot, but enough to keep me busy for a while.
