Jeff Mejia (a.k.a. the Evil DM) has put out a new 31-page PDF called The World of Broadsword, a setting book/bestiary for Broadsword, his beer-&-pretzels RPG of barbarian movie action. I really like the Evil DM's unpretentious writing style. And I may have to steal his Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats system for describing political areas. Both the original game and The World of are well worth the few bucks he's asking for them. Good stuff!
Thanks for the plug my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed it. the S.W.O.T analysis was a little gem I learned about in a marketing class in college. I finally used my Business Degree for something other than covering up a hole in the wall.
