I even have Dark Dungeons in print, the Delving Deeper boxed set, Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea. Actually, I have the whole available line in print. I have LL and the AEC (and somewhere OEC, but I can't find it at the moment).
CITY STATE OF THE INVINCIBLE OVERLORD FULL
I have OSRIC in full size, trade paperback and the Player's Guide. Reply Deleteīelieve me when I say I have them all in dead tree format. But for folk who want to collect the old school, its a bummer this could not come together. But just for pure nostalgia I can go look at my old beat-up copies of things. The days of early level survival horror play, and low-level PC's as fearful poltroons seems gone. Nostalgia is great, but I just find more and more of it to be unusable for the newer, younger players. Meanwhile, other old non-JG faves like Isle of Dread could be fit right in without much of a beat (plus I have the Goodman adaptation for 5th).
CITY STATE OF THE INVINCIBLE OVERLORD HOW TO
I would not begin to know how to fit most the inside manor stuff into my current vibe. But since I have adopted 5th ed (cuz I can get players for it) and have pretty much exclusively moved away from face to face to Roll20, it just all seems so out of touch for me. But even the last time I used Tegel in some 1st ed games about 8 years ago, I only used the areas outside the manor because doing funhouse dungeon gaming had become awkward for me. But even when I was still doing 1st edition incorporating anything (usually Tegel, Walking Wet, etc) from JG after the early 90's just felt like doing a museum piece. They were my bread and butter of early gaming. I have always loved City State, Tegel, Wilderlands etc since childhood. It was a slow death, but a death nonetheless. Judges Guild is dead, and its best years were well over 40 years ago. Bob II has set a new standard that I hope no other companies come close to meeting, but I suspect one or two may actually surpass, and do so with glee in their eyes. I am not judging Judges Guild by the social media insanity of its owner but by the incompetence of that very same owner. If it isn't straight-up malfeasance, it's most likely due to one or more reasons stated above. We see it right now, with companies taking money for products and never shipping them. Most of all, and perhaps the crux of their issues, is that they lacked simple honesty. layout (oh my God, the layout horror stories) There's nothing left but promises and disappointed backers.ĬSIO didn't fail to complete its obligations because of Bob II and Bob III going out in burning flames on social media, it failed because neither Bob II nor Bob III had the faintest ideas about: Unlike the Marmoreal Tomb, there are no funds left to pay for layout and development. No publisher is going to swoop in and spend the dollars, nor the man-hours, to fix this failure.
CITY STATE OF THE INVINCIBLE OVERLORD UPDATE
Well, three years later ( and a final update over two years ago on the CSIO Kickstarter page) and I think we can all agree, CSIO is NOT going to get the Marmoreal Tomb treatment.


Tonight as I was flipping through Facebook, I saw a post from The Tavern from exactly three years ago - Oh My! Crowdfunding Update from Judges Guild (CSIO).
