Topic: Gushing about the new releases
I'm not on G+ so this is as good a place as any to state how pleased I am with what the mailman dragged in this morning.
I already read NSFW in PDF a while ago. Solid fun with a videogame-y premise and an opportunity for the players to change the world.
Tower of the Stargazer. Never read this before because I've been waiting to get my hands on a physical copy. Was not disappointed. Some of the Referee tips are surprisingly useful even for someone with a bit of experience. Definitely a good little book to ground me in the olden tymes LotFP way of gaming even in the middle of this storm of authors and styles that is Raggi's current business.
Death Frost Doom is, well, Death Frost Doom. A classic made even better. And oh man that illustration work.
And then there's A Red and Pleasant Land. Still trying to work out how to integrate the world itself into our ongoing campaign. In the meantime, there are a lot of cool little rules and tables that are definitely going to be used as soon as possible. Vornheim was a bit too specific for me to use at the table, but a lot of the stuff in RPL is pretty easy to tweak to reflect any quirky, war-torn land. Plus the physical book itself is amazing. It's like a Carcosa that I can actually find use for at the table.
Didn't get The Idea from Space. Should I regret this?
