Knockspell is on my definite list. The guy behind it wrote one of my most favorite old school OSRIC modules. SHROOMS RULE!

Heck, I have to look at the actual module to even remember its title. Anyone who has read, ran, or played it knows what mod I am talking about though.

I know which one you are talking about. And yeah the author was a real fun guy.

Does Fight On! or Lulu offer any kind of subscription service? I'm really tempted to pick up some copies... I have heard nothing but good things from fans of all editions.

I've asked before...no subscription model, but it's released basically quarterly. I don't think they have a hard-and-fast release date--it's part of the whole DIY/laid-back thing they're espousing.

Not that I noticed, but one of the links in my OP is to their website. If they have a subscription program it should be there.

Thanks, Tree. I guess a subscription option wouldn't make much sense since it's from Lulu. One of these days I'll snag some print copies.

Well, whenever you get them, I would rank them best to least best. 3,4,2,1.

So get issue 3 first, IMO.

I haven't forgot about this. Hopefully I'll get around to finishing this up by Monday.

For those of you with Fight On! #3 and desiring a full map of the Map 19 the Wild North! I established a cafepress store where you can order poster size maps at various sizes.

We tried Lulu but their prices stink. Then I found Cafepress has a fairly good deal on posters.

YAY! More and more people are realizing Lulu sucks!
I'm happy to hear about the alternative for the map.

Okay. I just received my Fight On! Compendium.

It's AWESOME. Much better than I expected, to be honest. Reading through it right now, I can say I absolutely do not regret the purchase. Quite the reverse, actually.

Has anyone checked out Knockspell yet? (A slight pimp, since I am writing a column in KS, but I also have an as-yet-unpublished adventure in FO too).

Yes. I purchased the PDF version. I'm very satisfied with it. I really can't point out something that would have made my eyes bleed yet. If anything, it's more focused than FO! since it's definitely dedicated to the OD&D/Swords & Wizardry feel. I really can't complain since that's what I'm looking for these days.

I like your column about the one-way doors et al, as a side-note. Your chronicler bend, if you allow me the term, definitely is recognizable in that piece. It's fun to read, inspiring, and you learn a bunch of stuff about the game itself. What more can you expect, really?
