Dark Fantasy Island Generator & Hand Drawn Islands [Various]

Now for something a little different...

Knock! is maybe my favorite RPG product in existence. I'm not kidding. It's an amazing magazine dedicated to OSR and NuSR style RPGs, and it's the thing that got me into the whole OSR. It's full of blog articles, dungeons, monsters, traps, and generators. For a while, I actually thought Knock! and Mörk Borg were made by the same people, because the layout is SO good, albeit much easier to read in Knock!

Well I'm proud to announce I have a spread in the upcoming Knock! Issue 4, which is live on Kickstarter right now.

I made this really fun Dark Fantasy Island generator, where you drop a bunch of dice on a piece of paper, track it with a pencial, and it makes an island, complete with landmark, denizens, and even a name. Over the course of the year, I carried around a little sketch book, and when it's slow at the convention booth I'd draw stuff in it. Here are some of those drawings, some of which were made with this generator, and several which we made by kids at Gamehole Con!

I'd recommend backing the Kickstarter, and grab the other three issues on the Merry Mushman website while they are still in print!
