Spear Witch

had a lot of conversations in this thread about writing adventures that a GM can run even without fully understanding the world and lore, which some folks said was alien and unknown to them. I was thinking about writing a blogpost specifically about this idea, but then realized I already did:

Zzarchov is good and NGR is a really slick take on the OSR-ish playstyle. Good things to grab for yourself or the extremely cool old-school gamer in your life this holiday season!

Easily one of the most slept-on games, and some of the best adventures going.
