Aaaaand another set of awesome pictures. Click on image to go to author's DA site.

Nice stairs, eh?

Poll results

As you can see, most of the people want complete game rules in the book. It means that Battlestation Omega will be integrated with Bandits & Battlecruisers ruleset, but as I'm not fully convinced to this option I will also produce version without these rules (will work as ordinary supplement / campaign setting). When it will happen? I don't know - at the moment I try hard to write something every day but I'm not always successful.

If you have any questions regarding rules and/or campaign setting - feel free to ask :-)

100!

I just reached 100 watchers here. It's not bad result after almost a year of blogging (with almost six month long gap). It means much for me - I write things mostly because of inner need of creating the things but it's awesome feeling when I see people enjoying my stuff, watching blog, reading content, commenting and creating things related to my work.

Thank you all!

Pulp Sci-Fi covers

Another great graphical inspirations - 1950s Pulp Science Fiction covers by Ron Turner. Click on the image to go to the Flickr gallery.

Paperback Terminal Space on Lulu!

Do you like the new cover?

At last. Printed version of Terminal Space is available for purchase on Lulu store. Unfortunately it's stripped of most of its images (because they were granted to me for non-commercial use), but because of it file is smaller (thus cheaper).

The Blighted World of Zaoth

It seems that another potentially awesome science fantasy-related OSR blog is born. I'm very curious about it and wait impatiently for next updates and more info about it. Check it out!

Yellow City of the Empty Mountain

Map of location used in my Call of Cthulhu campaign. Ancient city of Yithians, ruined by Gugs. It's still possible to encounter wandering Gugs there, as well as savage tribesmen (probably originating from the Dreamlands) searching for metal scraps and possibly other valuable goods.

Opening the Door Leading to the Yellow City of the Empty Mountain (new spell)

Magic-user level 3 ritual. CoC SL: 1d2/1d8

To cast a spell, caster(s) must draw a gate on vertical, stone surface. Gate must be drawn with dust from burned bones (not necessarily human bones :D). Then caster of the spell, robed in black, must sing the invocation of the spell. If caster is holding human brain / nerve core, basic chance of success is 5%. If caster is holding yithian nerve core, basic chance of success is 50%. For each person that is chanting the invocation with the caster, chance of success is increased by 10%, but spell is impossible to cast succesfully if no brain / nerve core is used. If spell is succesful, nerve core transforms to dust, and door is opened. Each witness of this phenomenon loses 0/1d3 sanity. Door remain opened for 24 hours.

My free stuff and OCP page

I've added Terminal Space and Bandits & Basilisks to the OSR Conservation Process website. Now it shall outlive me ;)

Spaceships from the Outlanders

Bio-ships from the Outlanders manga by Johji Manabe. Totally awesome!

Poll!

Sorry for the lack of updates, but recently I try to focus on Bandits & Battlecruisers ruleset and quick (but probably rather massive) setting for it. And here goes a question - should I include complete game rules (fusion of B&B and Terminal Space space-faring rules) in my campaign setting PDF? Probably PDF will be not free this time, but even if you want to include ruleset in it, I will publih some free BnB/TS fusion files.

About setting: probably it will be exaggerated, pretentious and slightly absurd Space Opera game (currently I'm highly influenced by Multinauts and 1985-87 Outlanders manga).

EDIT: Unfortunately I can't edit poll's options now and I don't know if my question was clear - I meant complete game rules, not additional / house rules.

Underworld Day - the Megastructure (again)

There will be more of them (industrial-related pics), but not necessarily next week - unless you want to :-)
