I was sad to hear my friend, James M. Ward, passed beyond yesterday. Jim was a very upbeat kind of guy and a good man. He will be missed. Fairwell my friend. It was a true pleasure developing games together over the years, running games at the conventions, and engaging in fun discussions of the early days I am happy we met at Gary Gygax's home during his gaming Thursdays so many years ago.

In memory of James M. Ward, We made all his games a Free PDF download this past week. The free download week has ended. We have seen over 870 downloads this week and I hope as many games will be played over the weekend and through the next few months. Enjoy the content, the remaining projects Jim had completed or contributed to will be published over the next 8 months.

The Blasted Earth Edition

188 pages of Mutants, Monstrosities, Aliens, and NPC's

This tome represents the collective works of three decades of game design, storytelling, and unique adventures designed and ran across this time using a hand-full of RPG games. Entries into this encyclopedia come from a dozen or so creative individuals who crafted the creatures and characters in their short stories or created memorable encounters in adventures.


Why an Encounter Encyclopedia? An excellent question. The quick answer is that not everything we encounter is a ‘monster’ nor are they necessarily a friend. Certainly, many are, as you will see in these pages; however, the world that you create should be filled with life. The good, the bad, the indifferent, and most important the beautiful, the exotic, and the mythical. It simply makes the game more exciting and fills those dull journey’s from the Town to the gateway of an adventure with interesting moments. This collection presents more than 180 encounters for use in your campaign world. We are adding to this encyclopedia weekly and will offer it as an online resource in the near future.
