I’m gearing up for a new year of Quid Novi?, my (allegedly monthly) newsletter. This is the fourth year I’ve been writing this gaming resource, and I hope to do a better job with it in 2013 than I did in 2012. The focus for Quid Novi? is shifting away from Pathfinder/d20 System to old school RPG clones with special emphasis on Stars Without Number and Swords & Wizardry.
Quid Novi? will feature an assortment of, well, features, including:
* Awful Afflictions: New curses, diseases, and poisons to torture your players’ characters.
* Bazaar of the Bizarre: New items to augment your villains and reward victorious heroes.
* Chance Encounter: New monsters to claw/claw/bite those who try to steal their stuff.
* Treacherous Terrain: New terrains and traps to befuddle your players’ characters.
* Words of Magic: New spells for casters of all classes.
* Recommended Reading: New links to some of the best RPG blogposts I can find.
Subscribers also get a 33% discount on all Spes Magna Games PDFs purchased at Paizo.com. Free subscriptions to Quid Novi? can be processed at this link.
Well, I'm ahead of schedule for the first Quid Novi? of 2013. I'm still going to release it via email list on 19 January, which gives people plenty of time to sign up so as to not miss out.
What do you get with this first Quid Novi? Well...
* Sarpashana Station, a short adventure for Stars Without Number (but adaptable to other Old School systems).
* An Awful Affliction to curse foes of deceit's god.
* The Bazaar of the Bizarre, introducing two new items, one for Stars Without Number, the other for Swords & Wizardry.
* Chance Encounters, including Stars Without Number and Swords & Wizardry stats for one monster and two NPCs.
* A Treacherous Terrain to threaten adventuring spelunkers.
* Words of Magic describing a new Swords & Wizardry cleric spell.
* Required Reading, a collection of links to some of the best blogposts I've found recently.
