If thou gaze long into the Phlogiston...

...the Phlogiston will also gaze into thee. We have been lost again in the Phlogiston, wandering its insubstantial avenues, contemplating its insane landscapes, listening to its cacophonous sounds. We lost hope of finding our way back to the material plane. But we're back! As cold as stone we were... And this time the journey through the Phlogiston has borne fruit: we have met more travellers, who have agreed to collaborate on this second...

The Phlogiston Books, Volume I

No, we haven't been floating in the Phlogiston, we've become Other Selves. The Phlogiston Books, Volume I (TPBI), or as its subtitle says, A compilation of arcane material for the DCC RPG, was nearly ready some months ago, but we delayed its publication when we started the highly succesful fundraiser for the Spanish edition of DCC RPG. Now, we can proudly announce that TPBI is ready and will be available on October 1st! Never underestimate...

Isbin Arcane Classification: The headless horseman

One the most interesting features of the DCC RPG license is that it's allowed the creation of many different settings and products that, in some cases (like the one this entry is about), wander off far from the original concept, the sword&sorcery theme. I've seen so far, perusing through the huge pile, a space milieu, a post-apocalyptic one, a gothic ambience... (As usual... BEWARE, SPOILERS!) The headless horseman is an adventure edited...

Isbin Arcane Classification: Crawl! No. 1

I found this publication at the bottom of the DCC 3rd party products pile, so I suspect that it was one of the first things that got the thumbs up from the Dark Master to be published under the "Compatible with DCC RPG" seal of approval. When I was but a speck of dust in my home plane, 'zines were everywhere (the Phlogiston was not used then, kids [it means the Internet]), written by nearly everyone, typed and stapled manually, and then sent...

Isbin Arcane Classification: Through the cotillion of hours

Purple Duck was one of the first publishers to take advantage of Goodman Games' license, and to date, Daniel Bishop is probably the most fecund 3rd-party writer for DCC, and one of the best. I thought you should know that, 'cause I'll be sorting all of his work, and I don't like to repeat myself, it robs me time from reading. The booksellers asked me to tell you, dear reader, that this is plagued with SPOILERS. This adventure, or "Adventure...

Isbin Arcane Classification

The clutter here, at Phlogiston Books, is reaching epic proportions, so now that the Geometrist is gone, we've decided to summon and bind a professional bookseller/librarian to organize our collection: Isbin.   Our brand new librarian Isbin is a cross of Don Quixote and the Ank-Morpork librarian, with a streak of Igor. It loves books and continuously craves to read more, so we'll pay it exactly with that: all the DCC RPG products to date;...
