Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013)
As you may know, last tuesday died
Ray Harryhausen, special effects and stop motion animation specialist, famous for his works in classical adventure films like
Jason and the Argonauts (of which you can view the animated skeletons scene in one of the videos of this post).
Many of us who like role-playing games and fantasy also like classic adventure cinema as portrayed in those films where Ray Harryhausen collaborated and don't seem to age, so I suggest you not to miss the chance of viewing them, I'm sure you won't regret it.
Kickstarter of Lady Sabre & The Pirates of Ineffable Aether
And speaking of the most classic adventure I recommned to have a look
to the patronage campaign of Lady Sabre & The Pirates of Ineffable Aether, a
webcomic with scripts by Greg Rucka and drawn by Rick Burchett (it's also in my webcomic list) which is having a remarkable success.
Little Wars by H.G. Wells
This year is the centennial of the publishing of
Little Wars, created by
H.G Wells and available online from

Ars Magica and Aegis
With the announcement of the upcomming publishing of the 5th edition of
Ars Magica by
Holocubierta Ediciones in Spain it has been publicly known the desire of recovering the Spanish fanzine
Aegis, if you want to collaborate
see this link (it goes to an Spanish forum).
Interesting blogs: Abro la puerta y miro and The OSR Library
And for finishing this second news delivery here here there are two role-playing blogs I'm sure you will find interesting:
Abro la puerta y miro (from Spain) focuses into the Sword and Sorcery role-playing and have adventures for
Savage Worlds and
La Puerta de Ishtar.
The OSR Library focuses, as the name suggests, to the OSR movement and here you will find plenty of material to expand retroclones to new areas Victorian Era, Spaghetti Western or Cthulhu Miths.
