Mark your calendars for the 6th of May; that is the day when the Backerkit campaign for the new edition of OSRIC starts. In case you’ve been living under a rock, OSRIC is a damn fine retroclone of AD&D1e and also one of the founding fathers of the whole OSR movement. Given that it will turn 20 next year, I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate than releasing a newer, prettier, revised, more accessible edition.

Welcome to the new and improved Vorpal Mace blog! Following a long break, I finally sat down to write a post on my old blog. I stared at Blogger’s interface for a while, then said: “fuck this shit, it’s time to move on”. After exploring other options, I embraced my inner software developer and decided to cobble together my own trash heap using GitHub Pages. I spent more time experimenting with styles, comment plugins, and web analytics platforms than I’m willing to admit before ending up with the current site. It’s ugly, but it’s mine. I’ll keep tinkering with it whenever the mood strikes, so expect more changes in the future. To top it off, I bullied my dear friend Vesper into drawing me a logo, so I can truly feel special.
