Library Update (19)

Since my last update, I've received a couple of parcels. First from my correspondent book about H.P.Lovecraft. This time it will be about him. So something different this time.


Another one is Bram Stoker's Jewel of Seven Stars. Don't know about this book anything. So hope this will be a nice lecture in the future. 


Another three books are somewhat odd for me. They are weird tales from Poland. Authors wrote them in the interwar period. But since then there was no new editions. So these hundred years old tales come to light for the first time in a century. I've already read one of them and it was superb. The mastery in using polish language, the subject - death, makes these stories especially intriguing for someone who likes to delve into horror stories from the beginning of the last century. I hope the rest of them will be like that first one.

Of course, all of these books make it into my List of Shame.

RPG Update (36)

As You may know, at the end of the last year I've played in solitary adventure from West End Games for Indiana Jones RPG. After some searching in my old pdf, I've found another such gem. This time for the Masterbook system. Just like the last time, it was a blast! This time it was during The lost Ark movie in Cairo. The main hero was Indiana stand-in, but this was a minor difference. Also, I was listening to the soundtrack from that movie. It was another nice experience. Too bad that I think this is the last solitaire adventure for our favorite whip-handling archeologist. I'm thinking about all these other adventures... Maybe I could make them fit into one campaign? Somewhere in the future? Maybe? Using Astounding Adventures as a system base for them? With little Pulp Cthulu sprinkled on it?
