#RPG – Postmortem Studios Update

Hello all,

It’s time for a little update, just to let you know what’s going on.

I’m a bit rammed with work, having agreed to help out a bunch of people, or to layout and publish their material. I love doing it – helping people get their ideas out there and focussing more on presentation – but it does take time away from my own projects. As usual, I’ve over-promised when I’ve felt well, and as such am over-obligated when I don’t feel well.

You’d think I’d learn!

My Patreon has rolled over the amount where I’m committed to daily videos again, and I’m going to try to get back into that habit, but directly paying work has to come first and I’m reasonably sure that my patrons want me to produce work, over meeting that commitment.

Next publication is Welcome to St Cloud, by Miguel Ribeiro, who wrote our well-received systemless/AFM Giallo trilogy. This time it’s a Lynchian investigative horror location, drawing on the style and aesthetic of Twin Peaks.

After that it’s *Punk (Splatpunk), which is an Action!/Interlock retroclone, designed to be coupled with sourcebooks like Cyber*, Bio*, Clock* etc for different types of genres in the ‘x-punk’ genre umbrella, and to preserve accessibility to an important ‘heritage’ game system. There’ll be hardcopy available, but the main rules will either be free or PWYW.

Then we have another book by Mr Ribeiro, called Postcards from ZOA, which will draw thematically on Burroughs’ Interzone and other surrealistic sources.

After that, a medieval bestiary by Neil Coates, who wrote ‘A Lapidary of Won’drous Stones‘ for us, and who seems to specialise in making some sort of sense out of medieval nonsense so it can be used in games.

All this time I am still working on Wightchester, and we have about half the baseline art complete already. Hopefully we’ll still be good to go with the Indiegogo fundraiser at some point this summer. Provided I can get the baseline writing complete in time with everything else going on.

All that and I’m still running weekly 5th Edition D&D games as part of Tabletopless, all for a very adult audience on Manyvids and Chaturbate, and monthly Cyberpunk RED games on the same services.

Given my recent loss of some of my disability funding, focussing on the paying work with what effort I can muster takes even greater priority. I hope you’ll forgive me if anything slips down the line, I have another relapse or something else goes pear-shaped. If you want to help out while I try and get these issues sorted out you can sub to my Patreon for as little as $1 a month, for discounts and priority access.

#RPG – Postmortem Studios Update Jan-Feb 2019

Don’t forget you can get discounts on our work by subscribing to support us at Patreon, Subscribestar or Minds.com.

Firstly and most importantly we are seeking entrants to the Darkzel Art scholarship

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well? It’s lovely and snowy here for the first (and possibly only) time this year. We don’t get that many snowy winters any more so I’m enjoying it as much as possible.

It’s a new year and that’s usually a time of setting out plans and ideas. So I’m going to do just that.

Firstly and most importantly we are seeking entrants to the Darkzel Art scholarship.

DARKZEL SCHOLARSHIP

We have a $500 fund to give away to a deserving genre artist. That is, anyone in art education (college or university) or hard-up in some way (functionally homeless, transitioning, long-term unemployed or otherwise struggling. If you’re not sure if you qualify, you almost certainly do).

This prize money will be distrubuted (preferably by Paypal) at the end of February. So you have until the 28th of February to submit your argument as to why you should be supported, and a sample of your art.

Some quick guidelines:

• Any submissions need to be 300-600 dpi and 1/4 page (US Letter or A4).
• Black and white or colour is acceptable and will not affect your chances.
• Awards are decided on a combination of talent and necessity.
• You MUST be a genre artist, that is SF, fantasy, horror and so forth.
• You may submit multiple pieces.
• Your art will be re-sold as stock art, giving you exposure (I know…) and the opportunity to work with other RPG companies, as well as helping to fund next year’s prize.
• If you want to help you can donate art in support of the project, donate money for next year’s fundraiser and you can spread the word.
• Entries and additional information grim@postmort.demon.co.uk

POSTMORTEM STUDIOS WEBSTORE

Yes, I’m going to be talking about this a LOT.

I have a brand-shiny-new web store set up at POST-MORT.COM which you should all bookmark and to which I’m going to try and drive more and more sales to get out from under the censorship problems and cost associated with using third parties such as Onebookshelf.

I’m also hoping to provide a home for risque, edgy and other badwrongfun material on my site while taking a relatively small percentage (compared to existing sites). This is not a ‘doors thrown open’ thing, but feel free to approach me if you make horror/risque/edgy or otherwise thematically appropriate material (audio, video and fiction/non-fiction too) and we’ll see what we can work out.

WORK PLANS

Last year was a bit piecemeal, which got a fair bit done – more than I would otherwise have managed – but wasn’t especially satisfying.

I’ve also learned to be a little bit less of a control freak and to let other people play with my babies. The Gor adventures that have resulted – built around skeletal outlines and ideas from me – have sold fairly well, and paid for themselves in terms of the extra cost incurred to make them. That being the case I’m likely to continue in that vein, and perhaps open up other support material projects to others.

I don’t want to write cheques my arse can’t cash, so anything that isn’t ‘done’ or ‘in production’ you can’t guarantee to happen any time soon. That said…

Complete or ‘In-Process’

• Fantasy/Satire Novella: Alice through the Garbage Grinder
• Horror/Death spiral RPG: Actual Fucking Monsters
• Video Education/Advice Course: Grim’s Guide to RPG Publishing
• Videocast: Inappropriate Characters (this will continue to be built this year)
• More adventures for Tales of Gor.
• Metacards: A roleplaying and verisimilitude enhancement system for any RPG.
• Regularly streamed games at Postmortem Video, probably starting with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition.

Almost Certainly Upcoming this Year

• Modern Horror RPG: BLOOD! 3rd Edition.
• Kung-Fu and Sixguns RPG: Setting Sun.
• Grimdark – A set of ‘hardcore’ and nasty rules for 5e D&D.
• As yet unnamed, necropolis ‘megadungeon’ for 5e D&D, this will be crowdfunded.
• Thematic ‘RPG Tools’ sets – dice, dice tray, dice bag etc along particular themes and styles.

OPPORTUNITIES & SERVICES

There are opportunities to work with or for Postmortem Studios on various projects and services or assistance that we can offer.

Opportunities

• We are looking for writers familiar with the D6 system (OpenD6, WEG Star Wars) and the Gorean works of Jon Norman to continue to provide engaging and knowledgable supplementary material.
• We need t-shirt models to help with promotions and sales of our line of apparel and would like to have more cooperation with cosplayers and the broader nerd-sphere fanbase.
• Got a game to promote? Want to discuss topics around RPGs, games, nerd media or want to argue with me about them? Great, get in touch and we’ll do a livestream to talk about these things on Postmortem Video.
• Artist? We can help you sell your stock art to the RPG publishing community.
• Sell edgy/dark/risque or gonzo games or fiction? We’re looking to add you to our storefront.

Services

• Basic editing/readability service.
• Book trailers and video advertisements for your games/books.
• Voiceover work.
• RPG Industry/Game Design/Sales consultancy.
• Freelance writing, copy writing, game design.
• Ebook covers – Many people create very simplistic covers with terrible font choices and don’t make the most of the art they use. Even five minutes of professional oversight can give you a much more attractive and professional looking cover.

Postmortem Studios Update 3/9/18

Art by Dmitriy Masaltsev

Hello all!

I’m taking a break from the daily updates on the blog, but there’ll still be plenty over on the Youtube channel (PostmortemVideo).

I continue to work on the next Gor adventure and my next full game, The Green. I have a lot of backed-up stock art to put on sale, which will be coming along soon. I also was hit by the inspiration bug after getting grumpy about the fuss around Vampire 5^th Edition so something might happen there too.

I have commissioned writers to produce Gor adventures in the past and to keep things going those opportunities are now open again. These are assigned projects, there’s no room at present for unsolicited adventure ideas. If you know the game system (d6) and world background, reach out and we’ll see what we can figure out. Payment will be around $200 for approximately 6,000 words (around 3c per word).

We have a new T-shirt design up at Teespring – the evolution of gamers – so check that (and our other shirts) out, including the Tales of Gor designs (in caste colours no less!).

If you’re an artist in need of commissions, I’m looking to commission more art to sell as stock art and as testers for future projects. Standard rates available are:

A4 B&W: $100, A4 Colour: $200, A5 B&W $50, A5 Colour $100, A6 B&W $25, A6 Colour $10-15 (though negotiation is more than possible).

If any artists want to work with us as a storefront to sell their own stock art, we have an established presence and reputation that could work for you if you choose to work with us, and plan to have an independent sales-point at some point next year. Hopefully, this will also allow me to host and sell games material that suffers from censorship on other sales points, but this is in the very early stages.

This month I’d like to draw people’s attention to two places they can discuss Postmortem Studios games and other activity. We have a woefully undersubscribed Reddit page, and a Discord server which is pretty chill and suitable for hanging out and talking about things. Do join us there.

Zang!

#RPG Industry Rocked by Sean Patrick Fannon Accusations

#RPG – Postmortem Studios April Update

 

Brad McDevitt’s latest clip art.

I know, I know, I’ve been slack. Still really struggling with fuckbrain issues, but they seem – hopefully – to be somewhat on the mend.

 

Here’s what’s going on…

The Gor license has been renewed for three years, giving me time and space to put out more product moving forward into the future, and even – perhaps – to produce some guidebooks for playing Gor under different systems (I’m mulling over Pathfinder’s new edition, 5e D&D and some others). Even better news is that after this three year period the license is extended indefinitely – until and unless the IP owner decides to withdraw it. This means that we are have been judged to have done such a good and trustworthy job by Mr Norman and his agent that we’re being entrusted to continue doing so moving forward. This makes me tremendously happy.

In celebration of the above, those who subscribe to me on Patreon or Makersupport will have half price access to the Gor rulebook, worldbook and artbook for as little as a $1 subscription, which you can cancel at any time.

I’m in very early and basic discussion with RPGPundit about putting together a podcast/stream with him. Not sure if/how it will work out, but we’ll see.

It also appears that Chronicle City is stirring back to life to some extent, but I’m not sure yet, quite what is going on there. I’ll let you know. We tried to start Chronicle City at about the worst time possible for us to do so and paid the price. Hopefully, it can be resurrected.

I have lost a few patrons on my Patreon lately, things are tight for a lot of people, but I need to draw more people to ‘subscribe’ to me as a creator. As such I’m going to experiment by providing some Patreon exclusive content over the next 30 days. I will be building a fantasy world for use with the Machinations of the Space Princess system with the first post up here for free and the rest appearing to Patrons and Makersupport subscribers only. These posts will be modeled after the 30 Day Worldbuilding blog prompts and will then be collected and collated, tidied up and added to in order to produce a saleable product. By subscribing you’ll get early access and the opportunity to provide feedback.

I’ve also had a few approaches about – possibly – doing some writing/worldbuilding on some indie computer games. I’ll keep you posted.

I’ll be creating support/discussion communities for Gor on G+ and Facebook soon, watch this space.

Please take a look at my Youtube, Patreon, Makersupport, Gab, Twitter, Facebook, author page, company page, designer page, Instagram, Minds and Steemit and follow/sub whatever else, should you feel the urge. Please do leave reviews of anything of mine you’ve bought, wherever you’ve bought it and share posts, videos or information about products – it really does help me out.

If you do reviews, podcasts, interviews or anything else, get in touch. I make a good guest and have opinions on everything 😉

Cheers,

Grim

#RPG – Postmortem Studios January Update

Belated happy new year everyone!

Apologies for the delay in updates but on top of long-term illness before Christmas, I was VERY sick over Christmas and into the new year. Since the start of the year, I’ve been working on planning, plotting and making updates to my various sites, logos and so on.

So far we have a new logo (see previous posts) and both the Youtube channel and Patreon have been updated – with more spring cleaning to come on this site and on the various social media channels I have elsewhere in the coming weeks.

There’s more and more stock art coming both from our regular, Brad and from a whole bunch of artists donating or being paid to contribute to the Darkzel scholarship project, so keep an eye out for that. You can find our stock art catalogue here.

We’re also working on PDF catalogues of EVERYTHING we’ve done, which can be a lot easier than directly browsing various websites to find it. This should be especially useful when it comes to clipart. We’re also bundling chunks of clipart into downloadable multi-piece bundles, again to try and make things easier for you.

More Gor material should be coming, plus we’re in talks to extend the license so you can look forward to more Gor adventures and supplementary material moving forward.

Preparation is in process for a crowdfunded project later in the year, but I am trying to keep my ambitions relatively small given the continued health issues. That said, I’m considering finishing the Machinations of the Space Princess companion, producing MotSP oriented material and optional rules for Starfinder, producing a ‘choose your own adventure’ book and releasing the start of a new mini-series of survival games I’ve been working on – on and off – for some time.

Then there’s the post apocalyptic diary-novel I need to finish…

To let you know about some policy changes around here…

1. Discounts will now ONLY be available to Patrons at my Patreon page – even just at the $1 tier. So if you want to continue to get discounted material, consider supporting me over there.
2. Opportunities for playtesting and rough drafts will also initially be offered over on Patreon, so if you want to get in on some of that, please be my guest.
3. I’m continuing to shift into video, even producing a poll-based ‘choose your own adventure’ over there, so you really should subscribe to my Youtube channel. I’m also happy to answer your game/indie related questions on the channel, live or in the comments. If you want to keep up with me, I make Youtube content almost daily. If you can’t stand Youtube you can also find my videos at Bitchute.
4. Social media is having a lot of issues of late and so I’ve sought to diversify a bit. Vidme went under and Gab, despite being independent has developed a ‘hard-right’ reputation, but I can recommend Minds.com which is developing into a nice little site. You can find me there, and I also run an RPG group there which I invite you to join and contribute to.

Now, you tell me! What do you want to see here, and how can I entice you to support me on Patreon? 🙂

#RPG – Postmortem Studios November Update

The image to the left presents a beautiful, pagan statue – perhaps reminiscent of those found in India. A fine illustration to flesh out any dungeon or cultural passage in a world guide.

This is stock art by industry veteran and workhorse, Brad McDevitt, available from our stock art collections for you to use in your personal or professional projects. You can find our stock art HERE.

We’ve got hundreds of pieces by him at affordable prices for your handouts or your own gaming projects.

If YOU are an artist who wants to sell your work via an established storefront, we can also help you out. Contact me privately if you’re interested. Keep an eye on this blog and my Youtube channel for information on the ZelArt Scholarship this year. We’re doing something a little different as I need a bit of a break, but want to keep things going.

Please support me via my PATREON – you get discounts for as little as $1 a month, as well as access to me for advice, suggestions, video topics and more.

This month’s discount is on 100 Dark Places, so if you like running horror games based around spooky locations, now is a good time to donate!

As a loyal follower of this blog, and because its horror season, you can also get a discount on Art of Gor,  presenting large scale images of Michael Manning’s art for the Tales of Gor roleplaying game.

NOVEMBER DISCOUNT

Art of Gor

The art pieces by artist Michael Manning that were created for Tales of Gor and World of Gor.

Accomplished and talented fetish Artist, Michael Manning, brings the Counter-Earth to life in these illustrations for the RPG and world guide to John Norman’s Gor. Here you can see the illustrations in their full-size glory and appreciate their detail and style.

October in Review

 

Another shitty month.

I am still sick, but slowly getting better. Having some issues with my depression medication, but nothing severe enough to risk changing for a different one. I have started going to see people from MIND and Together, which are mental health charities, to try and get me back on track properly. I have also, after ten years of on-off illness, finally applied for some financial support from the government. This felt extremely shameful, but hopefully that will wear off and the additional help will remove some of the pressure I’m under.

On top of all that, perhaps extending it, I was in a car crash, have had a radiator leak at home and had to put the car in for a service immediately following the crash. Never mind the cost, the stress when you’re already ill is intolerable!

Since the cancellation of IndieCon, we’ve been holding our own mini-con for our friends called ‘Awesomecon’. Since I have to put some game material together for that anyway, you may see some small releases later in the month for Blood! and/or Starfinder. I’ll also be running my fan-hack for Numenera, to play a Destiny RPG session.

Otherwise on the reasonably near horizon, once I’m well enough, I hope to finish the next Gor adventure (The Golden Cave – working title) and to break ground, finally, on my survival/post-apoc game series, The Green.

I am also considering starting a ‘choose your own adventure’ on my Youtube channel once a week as, of all the things I do, I’m finding making videos the easiest.

The DarkZel Scholarship will be starting this month, but in a different way as I am not well enough to stand the stress of running a full crowdfunder.

I AM AVAILABLE FOR FREELANCE WORK:

Links to my profiles on Fiverr & People Per Hour (these will be expanded as I add services):

• Fiverr
• People Per Hour

DIRECT SERVICES:

Currently, my remaining 2017 plate is clear and free for freelancing and consultancy. I’m pretty reliable, despite my health issues, and can offer reasonably fast turnaround. I can, perhaps uniquely, provide detail and grounding to scenarios – even dungeons – to humanise them and give them a bit of depth. Give me a try, see what I can do for your games.

I am a 17+ year veteran of the tabletop game publishing world with lots of experience in freelancing and self-publishing.

I’ve worked for Wizards of the Coast, Steve Jackson Games, Nightfall, Cubicle Seven Entertainment and more. I have also written fiction and worked on social media computer games, packing a lot of meaning into short pieces of text.

As a self-publisher, I have overseen every step of the publication process from concept through to publication including writing, editing, layout and modification. I also produce Youtube material and have begun producing audiobooks. If you need some narration for a video project or an audiobook reading, I can help.

Here are some of the services I can offer, and the minimum prices offered – though anything is negotiable up or down depending on the client. I will work pseudonymously if that is a concern for you.

• New writing (raw text): $0.03c/word (minimum)
• Proofreading/Light Editing/Commentary: $0.01c/word (second and third deeper passes are possible).
• ePublishing/RPG Publishing consultation. Skype/Hangout/Call: $20/hour.
• Consultation on your game project: $20/hour.
• Layout (InDesign): $11 an hour.
• Stock Art Shopfront: Postmortem Studios have a huge stock art catalogue from multiple artists and we’d love to add you to that storefront. If you’re an artist who wants to sell your stock art but doesn’t want to deal with the accounts and uploads etc with your own storefront (which would be my first recommendation), then I can do that for you for 50% (I round up your payouts). Even if you don’t want to do this through me I recommend doing it anyway for all artists and can consult on best practice if you need advice.
• Voice Work: If you find my dulcet tones to your liking, I’m available for voice over work and narration, recording audiobooks and more. Rates negotiable, starting at $11 per hour.
• Promotion/Interview: Free. If you have a product you want to pimp out or would like to just talk game design and culture, you’re welcome to talk to me and appear on my Youtube channel.
• Book Trailers/Videos/Adverts.
• Paid Gamesmastering over streams/skype.

RECENT PRODUCTS

The Turian Gambit:  Long ago something precious was hidden amongst the wagon people to keep it safe. Now it seems something else – a key to the Game of Worlds – may be hidden amongst the savage and vicious people of the Plains of Turia. This booklet contains an adventure, heavy on tribalism, diplomacy, and ingratiation, as well as additional rules for chases and pursuits – as well as the games of the Wagon People.

Inside Gamergate: This book exists to record, for posterity, the events of Gamergate from the perspective of someone within Gamergate. There is a real danger that, what with the media bias against Gamergate, that the other side – the right side – will not get recorded. In the future, anyone looking back is likely to encounter an entirely one-sided version of events from people who have been acting very shadily.

The Game of Worlds (Gor): The Game of Worlds A ‘side quest’ from the line of Tales of Gor adventures, The Game of Worlds is an excellent way to bring Earth-based characters to Gor and set them off on their adventures as an introduction. It starts on Earth and takes them to Gor, in the wake of being caught up in the intrigues on their own world, from there they can return – or stay – to live a life of adventure on a more colourful planet. This booklet also contains non-canonical speculation, rules and ideas for Earth-based campaigns and characters, as well as the interplanetary cold war as it plays out on that world.

Art of Gor: The Art of Gor contains the pieces by artist Michael Manning that were created for Tales of Gor and World of Gor. Accomplished and talented fetish Artist, Michael Manning, brings the Counter-Earth to life in these illustrations for the RPG and world guide to John Norman’s Gor. Here you can see the illustrations in their full-size glory and appreciate their detail and style.

The Silver Cult (Gor): The Silver Cult thrusts the characters into a conspiracy that threatens to overturn the natural order of Gor and the city of Tharna. Will they side with the revolutionaries who seek to usurp the power of that city, or help crush the rebellion? This supplement also contains rules for slave-breaking and torture, and for encouraging better roleplay through mechanics.

Print products are available at Lulu.com and The Game Crafter.

Social Media & Contact

I’m always open to contact, discussion, ideas and more. If you have questions, queries, suggestions or feedback – good or bad – please do get in touch.

Due to continuing issues with Youtube censorship and demonetisation, I now also have a channel on Vidme, please subscribe to me there. At 100 subs I can monetise my channel there as well, and it is less paranoid and sensitive as a host. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t subscribe on Youtube, rather, sub to both – to be on the safe side.

#RPG – Postmortem Studios October Update

The image to the left presents a hideous lizardman or troglodyte (maybe its even an alien) to terrorise your players with. This is stock art by Brad McDevitt, available from our stock art collections for you to use in your personal or professional projects. You can find our stock art HERE.

We’ve got hundreds of pieces by him at affordable prices for your handouts or your own gaming projects.

If you are an artist who wants to sell your work via an established storefront, we can also help you out. Contact me privately if you’re interested.

Please support me via my PATREON – you get discounts for as little as $1 a month, as well as access to me for advice, suggestions, video topics and more.

This month’s discount is on The Big Bad Cthentacle Art Book, so if you like puns, Lovecraft and ‘lovecraft’ you can enjoy some rather porny tentacle art.

As a loyal follower of this blog, and because its horror season, you can also get a discount on FLiCKPIG, an OSR inspired (and compatible) horror-crawl, for pigs!

October Discount

FLiCKPIG

FLiCKPIG is an old school dungeon crawl, with pigs. There’s a randomly generated dungeon, some pregenerated characters and it should be played using OSR rules (preferable Lamentations of the Flame Princess).

It can be played as a boardgame if you’re lazy, as a full on RPG scenario of sorts if you’re feeling a bit more creative.

It’s rough as toast.

The game includes biro-drawn tiles for use with the random dungeon generation. Play it many times and try to find a way to survive!

September in Review

I am still sick.

This blows, and not in a good way, for a lot of reasons not least of all my reduced capacity to work and to turn out fun and cool things for people.

Unless something dramatic changes I don’t think I’ll be able to repeat SCHLOCKTOBERFEST which was a lot of fun, if not especially profitable, last year. I also don’t know if I’ll be well enough or recovered enough to run the scholarship this year (which is three months of promotion, fundraising, chasing, judging and the emotional hardship of turning people down).

September was a pretty good month, especially after the August ‘blip’ that always happens. Efforts prior to getting sick… again… are paying off and there’s steady progress, as well as from diversifying what services etc I offer. I hope to continue to do that as I recover and get more capable again.

Gor had slowed down a lot but has picked up again quite a bit – from me showing support I think.

Inside Gamergate did about ten times better than I ever expected, despite the problems with production, so that’s nice. Now I just have to wait for Amazon to pay!

Here are some of the services I can offer, and the minimum prices offered – though anything is negotiable up or down depending on the client. I will work pseudonymously if that is a concern for you.

If you’re an artist who wants to sell your stock art but doesn’t want to deal with the accounts and uploads etc with your own storefront (which would be my first recommendation), then I can do that for you for 50% (I round up your payouts). Even if you don’t want to do this through me I recommend doing it anyway for all artists and can consult on best practice if you need advice.
• Voice Work: If you find my dulcet tones to your liking, I’m available for voice over work and narration, recording audiobooks and more. Rates negotiable, starting at $11 per hour.

RECENT PRODUCTS

The Turian Gambit:  Long ago something precious was hidden amongst the wagon people to keep it safe. Now it seems something else – a key to the Game of Worlds – may be hidden amongst the savage and vicious people of the Plains of Turia. This booklet contains an adventure, heavy on tribalism, diplomacy, and ingratiation, as well as additional rules for chases and pursuits – as well as the games of the Wagon People.

Inside Gamergate: This book exists to record, for posterity, the events of Gamergate from the perspective of someone within Gamergate. There is a real danger that, what with the media bias against Gamergate, that the other side – the right side – will not get recorded. In the future, anyone looking back is likely to encounter an entirely one-sided version of events from people who have been acting very shadily.

The Game of Worlds (Gor): The Game of Worlds A ‘side quest’ from the line of Tales of Gor adventures, The Game of Worlds is an excellent way to bring Earth-based characters to Gor and set them off on their adventures as an introduction. It starts on Earth and takes them to Gor, in the wake of being caught up in the intrigues on their own world, from there they can return – or stay – to live a life of adventure on a more colourful planet. This booklet also contains non-canonical speculation, rules and ideas for Earth-based campaigns and characters, as well as the interplanetary cold war as it plays out on that world.

Art of Gor: The Art of Gor contains the pieces by artist Michael Manning that were created for Tales of Gor and World of Gor. Accomplished and talented fetish Artist, Michael Manning, brings the Counter-Earth to life in these illustrations for the RPG and world guide to John Norman’s Gor. Here you can see the illustrations in their full-size glory and appreciate their detail and style.

The Silver Cult (Gor): The Silver Cult thrusts the characters into a conspiracy that threatens to overturn the natural order of Gor and the city of Tharna. Will they side with the revolutionaries who seek to usurp the power of that city, or help crush the rebellion? This supplement also contains rules for slave-breaking and torture, and for encouraging better roleplay through mechanics.

Print products are available at Lulu.com and The Game Crafter.

#RPG – Postmortem Studios August Update

The image to the left presents a pair of modern, supernatural enemies – perhaps ghouls or goblins. This is stock art by Brad McDevitt, available from our stock art collections for you to use in your personal or professional projects. You can find our stock art HERE.

We’ve got hundreds of pieces by him at affordable prices for your handouts or your own gaming projects.

If you are an artist who wants to sell your work via an established storefront, we can also help you out. Contact me privately if you’re interested.

Please support me via my PATREON – you get discounts for as little as $1 a month, as well as access to me for advice, suggestions and more.

This month’s discount is on the notorious card game, Cthentacle, a Cthulhu themed tentacle-sex card game. It’s very adult, so make sure you know you want it before you buy it!

As a loyal follower of this blog, you can also get a discount on Steamed, a print-and-play board game of giant, steam-powered mecha combat. You can also get this via Gamecrafters, the link is in the right hand column.

August Discount

Steamed

STEAMED is a simple (very simple) fast-paced board game of Steampunk mecha-duelling action. Take to one of four distinct mecha and try to beat the bolts out of each other.

Up to four players

Requires several six sided dice.

• ADA – The advanced, and shapely, mech of genius clacker Lady Emmeline Whitmore.
• Brunel – The devastatingly brutal construction mech of Carston McBride
• Haido Tian – The rocket-assisted robot of the notorious airpirate Hong Meifeng.
• Iron Hunter – The frontline military robot of Prussian noble Oberst Klein Von Thule.

July in Review

Another odd month, disrupted by many things. I have fallen ill again towards the end of the month, so this is likely to continue for some time. The Inside Gamergate book is (still) with the editor so I’m awaiting its return. I should still be on target to have it out by the end of the month, as was the aim. This is why you work in extra time on your projects!

We got the Gor art book out, and another Gor adventure. I have another one almost finished (finishing up some extra rules and waiting on art) then I’ll be back to doing more of a mix of things again. You have to mix things up to keep them fresh. At least once I’m feeling 100% again.

#RPG Postortem Studios Update April 2017

The image to the left is a crow munching on an eyeball the latest Clipart Critter stockart from Brad McDevitt.

We’ve got hundreds of pieces by him at affordable prices for your handouts or your own gaming projects.

Please support me via my Patreon – you get discounts for as little as $1 a month.

This month’s discount is on 100 Planets.

Some of the people who have unsubbed from the Patreon have talked about a ‘lack of engagement’, but I honestly don’t know what you want to know or to talk to me about. What more I can do to keep my patrons happy. I’ve been trying to do things like add discounts and so on, but without query or comment I can’t really know what to do.

Whatever work you’re supporting me for, please feel free to question, comment, suggest, anything!

As a loyal follower of this blog, you can also get a discount on 100 Science Fiction Adventure Seeds this month!

April

Discount Offer

Following on from the success of 100 Fantasy Adventure Seeds, this book provides you with a wealth of generic science fiction plots. There are 100 pages of ideas each with a base idea, three twists and an epilogue. Never be without game ideas again!

“This product is a GOLDMINE! As a creative GM as you are you can easily twist/tweak the adventures in this book to fit in your setting and world. I use it in my Eclipse Phase campaign. With this product you can fast and easy create ‘adventures within the adventure’ and side-plots and sidetracks.”
– Bertil, RPGNOW 5 Star Review

MARCH IN REVIEW
Gor’s art is finally almost done and I’ve been updating the backers more regularly over on IndieGoGo. I suppose once this is FINALLY delivered I can think about my next crowdfunded project – which is likely to be a multi-system, horror-themed ‘city dungeon’ primarily for 5th Edition D&D and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I think I need a break though, and to assess why Gor took so long before I get into that.

I also need to keep support for Gor going while the license is held, to get as much material out as possible for Gor players. We already have one adventure out as an additional sort of preview, you can check that out in the recent products recap below. I’ve had to farm out writing on the Gorean supplementary material, which isn’t something I’m normally comfortable with, as well as moving beyond the usual scope of artists I have a work history with – so if you’re looking for art work, now’s a good time to apply.
