Regular readers know that I am a big fan of Oubliette -- see my reviews here, here, and here -- but this issue is extra-special: it includes a four-page special feature on The Lands of Ara!
Our special feature aside, I have skimmed the whole issue and as usual, the sheer amount of exciting and usable gaming content in the mag is really impressive. I highly recommend you check out Oubliette #8 if you haven't already. As Peter says in his editorial introduction to the issue:
Most importantly, I want to continue publishing a magazine that, when I pick it up and look at it in 20 years, gives me the same rush of nostalgia that I get now from my old gaming books and magazines from the 1980's.
Sounds like an admirable goal, one I am very happy to support.
I was reading through it a little today and saw you got a big fat feature. Well deserved. I'm really looking forward to the print version now that he has another four out.
ReplyDeleteThe Marg's Trolls of Ara silhouette size chart -- with the human and the Rodian for scale -- is FUCKING genius. So cool to collaborate with these people! Seriously.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I love The Marg's size chart too!!
DeleteThanks for kind words guys. I'm really pleased with how the feature turned out. This issue already well over the 1,000 download mark. I ordered the print proof of Issue 8 on Friday, and I've started putting the Compilation together so it should be on sale by the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteCool, I am particularly looking forward to the next print compilation. The omnibus editions are more convenient for travel to game tables!
