The first segment of the Castle Triskelion Mega-Dungeon has published! The Castle Triskelion is a sprawling multi-level castle/dungeon that has numerous levels above and below ground! This free supplement for Old School role-playing games is being published in segments. The first two segments are the Introduction and the Ground Level. Click either image to navigate to the & Magazine web site: . . . . . The Introduction provides background on the Castle, including new monsters and items. The Ground Level is the first module in this exciting series — it details the ground level (1st floor) of the Castle in 20 stimulating pages. This first segment is designed for low level adventurers. As with all mega-dungeons, the level of future segments will ramp up along side of the character’s level. Stay tuned for more segments! The Castle Triskelion mega-dungeon is written by Tim Stypinski, and is published through the & Publishing Group web site.
& Magazine Issue 10 Is On It’s Way! Art by & Magazine artist Chris Letzelter It’s August, and that means that & Publishing Group is putting the finishing touches on its tenth issue, an issue focused on the Shape Changers. How’s a shape changer to survive in a world where ‘solids’ are always looking to kill you? Len Lakofka explores whatever happens to the clothes and possessions of those who shapeshift, polymorph and the like. And Issue 10 would not be complete without an analysis of the etiology of lycanthropy. Andrew Hamilton continues his exploration of the Otherworld; a fairie realm inspired in part by John “Gnarley Bones” Turcotte’s Red Tam’s Bones modules. As well as an intriguing NWP for “Monster Lore” by Vince Lethal – to handle some of those metagaming difficulties when your players have memorized the Monster Manual. There’s also adventures, creatures, foes, maps, and other useful materials we feel you’d enjoy, along with the usual things you’ve come to expect from & Magazine. As well as more on missile fire from Len Lakofka, more spell lists from Tim Moore, text-based gaming by Thomas W. Thornberry, and magic items and spells from Stuart Marshall with that OSRIC flavor of course. Tim Connolly continues a favorite from last issue, his BrewMaster column, this issue’s topic - “For Crits and Giggles”. As well as much, much more from all our fantastic regular authors, artists, and cartographers that our readers come to expect!
