Reality Blurs have been a busy bunch, this week they released Darkness Over Keryhk Nhor for Old School Fantasy Adventure.

Keryhk Nhor, the Great Western Hall and source of great pride to the Dwarven Empire, was sealed and has not been opened since. That is, until today. The question is two-fold: who was powerful enough to break the Seal of the Iron Mage and why?

From the Forums to You | PEGInc Forums

The rumblings continue.  Something dark is stirring beneath the Internet.  The latest signs include a discussion on mixing various settings and toolkits together like peanut butter and chocolate, or sea urchin and cookies.  Do you need Cyberpunk Cthulhu?  I thought so.

Also, the neverending quest for a magic system that doesn’t use power points continues.  Most systems.  More ideas.  Apparently, people really want this.
