Now that I'm on summer break I should be able to ratchet up my reviews-per-week. First up is Luke Crane's B/X hack Miseries & Misfortunes. 

I'm also trying something new for some upcoming videos. At the end of each video  I'll suggest a topic for a random table and then viewers can create an entry and put it in the comments. Then they can vote on other people's entries and I'll go through and "heart" the ones I like the best. I feel like it'll make the comment section a lot of fun to read and show off the kind of creativity you see in the OSR.

Contact me using the email address found in this channel's About tab. I only review physical copies of books, not PDFs. I am mostly interested in books from the Old-School RPG scene that stand out in terms of writing quality, mechanics, art, layout, and production values. I generally only review books that I'm impressed by, so I cannot guarantee that I will review everything I am sent. QUESTING KNIGHT PATRONS!

I WANT a copy of this game - Sry for not playing but I have comments relating to the game. This seems a little like a nod in the direction of http://www.legrog.org/jeux/te-deum-pour-un-massacre and other French games. There are a number of French games which have a historical flavor yet in a world of darkness/MythicEurope way they blend in real-world occult and extensive swordsmanship, french gaming magazines have had numerous comparison articles about this phenomenon there are also games that follow this pattern of design but are firmly in Fantasy worlds (often fantasy worlds with a Horror element) there have been a number of rpgs to tread this territory from the English speaking world also: from Enguard and Flashing blades ( a great game btw) to more modern short form rpgs like https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/151277/Cloaks-Courts--Gonnes-RPG which is a solid little game on much of the same elements, We played a mini-campaign of CC&amp;G as Polish Messengers during the Deluge and it was much fun all round. Another solid adventure game in the same whole-cloth is All for One: Regime Diabolique which is notable for its Paris Sourcebook which includes the catacombs and all this goodness runs on the very cleaver Ubiquity system.
