" In our eleventh issue, Mad Scribe dives deep into the heart of tabletop culture and beyond! We sit down with legendary D&D artist Erol Otus, chat with Griff Morgan about Blackmoor, revisit the cult sci-fi film Hardware, and explore the rise of robots in gaming. Discover how karma systems can shake up your RPG mechanics, and don't miss the chilling new adventure Whispers in Room Seven From painting miniature eyes to cosplay by Joanie Brosas and Kyle's top board game picks, there's something for everyone. Plus, Editor-in-Chief Chris debuts his cyberpunk short story, Dreams of Electric Coffins. Crack it open and stay weird!"
So over the weekend I grabbed Mad Scribe Magazine Issue #11 and it's exactly what I was looking for tapping into the major OSR Science Fiction vibes. There's a sense of nostalgia with each issue. The interview for Erol Otus whose been one of my favorites since I looked at my first OD&D materials. They packed a lot into Eighty eight pages of OSR goodness.
Griff Morgan's got a fantastic attitude towards Blackmoor's history and future. There's a great angle to the interview with Griff and it takes into account the scope of Blackmoor. Then Mad Scribe covers one of my all time cultclassic Science Fiction favorites and that's of course the fantastic film Hardware. The article was an injection of VHS goodness usage within OSR games. There's a great article on painting eyes on miniatures.
This slides into the history of Robots within old school and OSR gaming. 'Whispers in Room Seven' is a great little adventure with a twist or two for use with OSR games. Editor-in-Chief Chris brings his his cyberpunk short story, 'Dreams of Electric Coffins' and it's a great little story for inspiration for Science Fiction gaming.
