This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hi everyone,

Just dropping in to flog my netbooks for anyone interested. All except the Reading List (.doc) are in PDF format. Links are below in my sig. Enjoy!

You can also come up with something that is not only original and creative and artistic, but also maybe even decent, or moral if I can use words like that, or something that\'s like basically good -Lester Bangs

Awesome stuff!

Just tidied up Appendix D, with better layout for the MU spell table, and an optional table for NPC Magic Users. Also a new bit of old cover art. Cheers!

It's an illustration from Alma Mater, a very obscure and quite scandalous RPG illustrated by Erol Otus. I think it predates Michael Jackson.

Quite right...and perhaps the only RPG to feature schoolyard drug dealing ON THE COVER. Way cooler than a chick in a chainmail bikini any day of the week.

If anyone's a fan of 1st/2nd edition Gamma World, you can grab my two netbooks (Mutant Manual II and the Survivors Field Guide) & other material from The Post-Apocalytic Forge

Another source of free actual old school netbooks is here:

http://gnba.netdemons.com/books/olik/index.html

The links still work, and Olik did an impressive job back in late 90s/early 00s.

Groovy stuff!

That's quite a (useful) bump.

There's also this

Cool, so much stuff!  Unfortunately it is all pre OGL and creative commons, so it is legally locked in a certain state, but still useful nonetheless.  Kellri's books are being coverted to an OGL friendly format by the folks on K&KA, but his work is more recent.  

Maybe the OSR is now in a phase where it looks at the 90s DIY material and there digs for treasure.

A Netbook is something I am typing this message on.  It's now also a book downloaded online?

Yeah, someone creates/compiles information on a subject and the coined term for it is 'netbook.'  I'm not positive, but I think that the term predates the actual technological device.

Yea, I think the term is over a decade old, dating to when people first started compiling free fan-made material and posting them for download.  Or least as far back as when they started doing it on the web, instead of just on bulletin boards.

Huh, I had never heard the term.  Seems like it hasn't maintained much traction over the years.
