Lands of Lunacy

Eric Bloat Reveals the Secrets of the Lands of Lunacy Box

Eric Bloat, of Bloat games has been an outspoken supporter of Lands of Lunacy and was an early backer. Now that the setting guide has been rolling out to all the backers Eric reveals what’s in his box.

It’s worth the 3:30 minute reveal as he gives his first impressions of the book and the contents of his standard backing package. Eric knows games and keeps his thumb on the pulse of the OSR RPG world. I won’t lie when I say I was a little nervous when I saw the video pop up. I hoped we would be up to snuff with expectations.

If you Missed it Ol’ Man Grognard also did a review of the Lands of Lunacy Setting and you can see that HERE.

You can now order your Lands of Lunacy setting guide in the Webstore under the Lands of Lunacy section. You can order 1E & OSRIC or 5E, PDF or Print right now!

Thank you for the kind words Eric, and if you would like to see the TED talk he refers to, click here.

Do you have an unboxing video of Lands of Lunacy? Review? A video of your Lands of Lunacy Game? Share it with us, let us know how it went… and if your sanity survived!

OSRIC PieceOne glaring problem has plagued me as I work my way through writing various OSRIC / 1E adventures. The OSRIC rules do not include Thaco in monster stat blocks. Monsters attack as Fighter of “appropriate levels”, BUT those levels do not equal hit dice or anything in the monster stat block. So you must get the HitDice from the stat block, then go to Attack and Saving Throw Matrix for Monsters to find the matching level, then back to the attack matrix for fighter to find the Thaco.

This has been an on-going page flipping hassle. Why OSRIC? Why Stuart Marshall did you not include Thaco (Or a generic similar term)?

I know it’s a 1E clone, and 1E didn’t have Thaco either. But we get XP with OSRIC, which was missing in 1E. It’s a small thing, but a page flipper for DMs.

I decided to take a break from writing and create for myself a table to rectify this page flipping hassle. Then it occurred to me that other DMs were having a similar time, so here is the resulting table. If you share it around, just please try to keep the FSG logo and text at the bottom. I would really appreciate that.
