Over at one of my other blogs, Mythical beasts and places of Stoke-on-Trent, an unofficial expansion setting/gazetteer for The Midderlands RPG (old-school OSR). The game’s a sort of late-medieval / early-renaissance ‘Blackadder/Monty Python meets Lovecraft’ low fantasy game set in the Midlands of England, as if art-directed by Brian Froud and the original 1980s Spitting Image guys. Despite the richness of the world, the play samples I’ve seen so far have been quite lacklustre. It probably takes an imaginative game-master and players to do justice to the setting.
