Old School Zine #01 -Thar be Trolls afoot!

I have done this a few times, so bare with me. I wrote another one-page zine this weekend. Inspired heavily by the style of Christian Walker and his Legends of Gath zine, and by the sorta not-so-serious writing style of Vance over at Leicester's Ramble that I love. 

My goal here is twofold. One, use the damn domain name that I have owned for quite a while now and done exactly zero with. Check out OldSchoolZine.com. Yes, right now it just points to my blog here, but perhaps some day, years in the future, there will be hundreds of these short, little adventures....maybe even a mega-dungeon....will reside there for the utilization of the multitudes of DMs out there looking for a quick adventure. Second, I have been wanting to do something like Christian's one-pagers going way back to when he produced the One Square Equals Five Feet, and recently I have been talking to him often. It just got my juices flowing again and I needed to create something...anything!

So, here is the result of a couple days of labor. Hopefully you like it and hopefully it is the first of many.

For those wanting to download:

For those of you wanting to download and print this and are going to whine about color, here is a black and white version. If you are going to complain about the black ink use...grab your old school panties, hike them up a little, and suck it up!

  5. "Old School Panties?" Isn't that just a chainmail bikini bottom?

    My wife always wears armor printed leggings around the house. I just asked her about chainmail printed panties, and she said with a big smile, "That would be awesome." Somebody needs to get on Cafepress or whatever and make this happen.
