Aaron Allston's Strike Force Strikes Back In A New Edition
It might surprise some that some of the most revolutionary advice for game masters would be tucked into a supplement for Champions back in 1988. Aaron Allston's Strike Force pushed a lot of young game masters into new directions with just a few pages of his talking about what he did in his home games. In music there's a concept where an album has an influence on the stream of music that far outstrips its commercial impact. An album like The Velvet Underground & Nico is a commercial failure, with low sales and songs that challenged the existing radio airplay establishment, however it is one of those albums that caused listeners to go out and want to make their own music.
(ENN) Pinnacle Tease ‘The Goon’ and ‘Fear Agent’
Back at Gen Con 2015 Pinnacle Entertainment announced they had licensed three comic book properties to adapt into Savage Worlds roleplaying games. Flash Gordon, Fear Agent and The Goon. The good news is that all three are nearing completion, with Shane Hensley posting a photo of the proofs earlier followed by front cover images for both The Goon and Fear Agent.

Welcome back to our weekly look at tabletop roleplaying game, and accessories, crowdfunding roundup! Each week we’ll be looking at a few campaigns currently running that have caught our eye as well as occasionally speaking to some of the creators about their campaigns, or looking at some of the ‘behind the scenes’ business aspects of putting together, launching, operating and then delivering a crowdfunded project. If you have anything you’d like us to cover, or questions about anything we talk about, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or contact me directly.

Cakebread & Walton have released The Winter of the World RPG, giving you everything you need to start roleplaying in the world of Michael Scott Rohan’s fantasy novels. Using the OneDice rules system the book also includes character creation rules and creature stats for the 5th Edition if the world’s favourite role-playing game as well as new fiction by Michael Scott Rohan!
Random Done Right With Metzger's Metamorphica Revised
I won't lie. I have always had mixed feelings about random tables in role-playing games. When they're done well, they can really lighten the load of a GM who needs some quick fill in bits. When they're done poorly, they can result in bits that just don't fit into the flow of a game and brings everything grinding to a halt. Finding that balance between good content, and bad, can be a challenge sometimes, and for every book like the revised edition of The Metamorphica by Johnstone Metzger, there are a hundred lists of "D100 Of X" tables, where X is everything from random soldiers to names for inns to things that can jump out of the bushes at your characters during an overland journey.
New Dragon+ (issue 12): The Inspiration Issue
The tomb preview is great. It has a sidebar about possible places to put it, including the 6 original ones Gygax suggested in Greyhawk. Hopefully those who disliked the other 4 books being set in FR can appreciate their attention to explicitly stating it can be anywhere the DM sets his campaign, and giving the history about where it originally appeared.
Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Traps Revisited
Actually an interesting article. I'm still scanning through it, though. I like the way they discuss the traps, their creation, and countermeasures (something that was missing, I think, from the DMG). Poisoned Tempest is an absolutely inspired and devious trap! I love it!!!
