The Alexandrian has a newsletter!

There are a lot of ways to keep up with all the new stuff I do (including the RSS feed, following on Patreon, joining the Alexandrian Discord, or following on Twitter), but we’re designing our mailing list to be the authoritative index, including:

• links to every Alexandrian article
• links to patron-exclusive content
• Youtube videos
• Twitch highlights
• new projects from Atlas Games
• new projects from Dream Machine Productions
• my appearances on podcasts, actual plays, and other content around the ‘net
• translations of Alexandrian articles into other languages
• plus the super secret, triple NDA-locked projects I can’t even talk about yet!

“But wait!” the informercial man who has suddenly broken into my office says. “There’s more!”

The monthly newsletter will also feature exclusive early access to community content in a cool PDF.

If you want to add the very first PDF to your collection, join the mailing list now at the link below! If all goes well, it will be going out this weekend.

I join the self-described UK’s Premiere RPG Podcast,

Armed with “Stunt Baz” Guy Milner off of the Burn After Running blog, this time Gaz interviews RPG producer and designer at Atlas Games, Justin Alexander. The chat covers the excellent RPG resource The Alexandrian, as well as what’s hot at Atlas Games and some great game design discussion.

If you dig actual plays and reviews of played modules, check out the new YouTube channel.

You can check out the podcast here:

What Would the Smart Party Do?

I sat down with the folks over on Roleplay Rescue. We chatted about open tables, my current work, future plans for the Alexandrian, and all things RPGs.

I know I said that Season 10 had come to an end after 22 episodes but when opportunity strikes it’s best to grasp it with both hands. Besides, episode 23 also has a nice, mystic ring to it. My guest today is the single biggest influence on this podcast, a huge inspiration to me as a gamer and Game Master, and just about the best source of roleplaying wisdom I have come across on the internet. When he suggested he’d be open to doing an interview, well, I was thrilled. How could I say no?

Goodman Games is proud to present Original Adventures Reincarnated #7: Dark Tower, updated and expanded from the 1979 classic for both 5E and DCC rule sets! Ranked as one of the Top 30 adventure modules of all time by Dungeon Magazine, Dark Tower is considered by many to be the first published mega-dungeon. It was one of the first modules to utilize the newly released (at that time) Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks, which author Jennell Jaquays incorporated into the original design.

Two editions will be published: one using 5E rules, and one using the DCC RPG rules. Packaged in a handsome slipcase, each edition will be published as three hardcover books. Volume one is a reprint of the classic adventure, with introductory essays by gaming luminaries, including John Rateliff, Eric Mona, Justin Alexander, James Maliszewski, Jon “Taco” Hershberger, Stephen Newton, and others.. Volume two is a conversion of Dark Tower to new rules. Volume three is The Chosen Suns of Set, an all-new adventure and sourcebook expanding on concepts presented in the original 1979 adventure.

Goodman Games says that I’m a gaming luminary!

If you’d like to see a revamped version of Xandering the Dungeon which has been specially adapted for this deluxe release of the classic Dark Tower adventure… well, you’ll need to buy this deluxe release of the classic Dark Tower adventure!

ON KICKSTARTER NOW!

Magical Kitties Save the Day, the RPG I co-designed with Matthew Hanson (the game’s creator) and Michelle Nephew, has been nominated as the Best Family Game for the 2021 ENNIES Awards!

The nominations are juried, but the final awards are based on a people’s vote! That means we need YOU to vote for the game by August 27th!

A few things to know about voting in the ENNIES:

• You should only vote once.
• There are several different categories. You’ll vote in each category by selecting it. Magical Kitties is nominated in the Best Family Game category.
• You vote by ranking the nominees from 1 to 5. The best rank is 1 (that’s what you want to select for Magical Kitties). You can also select “No Vote” if it’s a game or book you’re unfamiliar with or don’t think deserves an award.
• Make sure you hit the “Vote!” button at the bottom of the page to register you vote for Best Family Game.
• You don’t need to vote in all categories. You also don’t have to vote in all categories at the same time! So if you want to wait to vote for Best Adventure until you’ve had a chance to check them out, you don’t have to wait to record your vote for Best Family Game.

Also take the opportunity to check out all the other great games, supplements, and books that have been nominated! There’s a lot of cool stuff to discover!
