There’s a new fan zine available, just in time for the
holidays, brought to you by Ewan Cummins and his industrious menagerie of
gnomes. There’s something in it for just about everyone: there’s lore and
monsters galore, terrors upon the sea, hedge wizards lurking behind just about
every hedge, and character options for AD&D, Pathfinder and 5e. And more! That’s a
lot packed into about 40 pages.
It’s worth your time and money (especially that,
considering it’s free!). Contributions are by persons you might already be
familiar with: Troy Alleman (3 articles by the sage of all things nautical),
Rick Miller (opening portals of imagination), Paul Jurdeczka (3 articles, as
well; but most importantly, inviting us in for a wee dram of festive cheer),
Matthew Fenn (taking the lore of the Great Kingdom forward, as Mr. Gygax and
Mr. Kuntz laboured to do in the Dragon, so many years ago), and its editor, Mr.
Cummins (who appears to have gone a little Lovecraftian on us). There are also
submissions by Samuel Weiss (2 articles, 1 long, and 1 short, both sure to be “treasured”), and (the ever esoteric) Les Reno. All contributors have been published in the Oerth Journal
or Visions of Greyhawk, at one time or another, so if you’ve read their work in
the past, you have an inclining of the continued quality of their efforts. Two
were even editors of those fine fanzines, Rick of the OJ and Ewan of Visions.
There will be something extra in your stocking this year,
should you download it: a one-shot by Ewan titled “The Terror of Blue Rock Mine.”
If you want to learn more, you’ll just have to click this link and download it, already.
And remember to…
“Have a holly, jolly Needfest!
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer…”
