Somewhere between the folks who buy game stuff and the professionals who make it is a world of amateur designers who labor primarily out of love of the hobby. Or maybe its the thrill of seeing their byline on a cool gamebook. Either way one of my favorite folks in the amateur scene is Dave Bezio, known on certain messageboards as
grubman. Ol' Grubby has a new book, called
The Phoenix Barony. It's a setting book for
Labyrinth Lord and/or Basic/Expert D&D. You can get it for free download or at-cost print-on-demand
over at lulu.
In addition to being interested in Pheonix Barony (which I've downloaded and already like a lot), I'm just thrilled to know that Grubman has a real name that isn't "Grubman," because that kind of thing sometimes worries me. Grubby's always struck me as a nice dude.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on Phoenix Barony!
