What the hell am I gonna do with all these Dragons?

A few years ago I got a load of old issues of Dragon magazine on freecycle -- probably about issues 150-200 or so, maybe more. UK editions. I flipped through them, read some reviews, read the miniature articles and picked out a few cool articles (like Ken Rolston's article about 40K RPGs). But then ... 

... most of every article is either stodgy useless "GMing advice" or endless mechanical variation for a version of D&D I have no interest in playing. I can probably salvage some useful articles on Top Secret / S.I. now that I have a copy, and I can always use the articles about Marvel Super Heroes, but other than that ... I just don't know what to do with them. 

Any suggestions? Maybe I should just make some kind of collages out of them or something, or try to adapt their articles to a game I play, or ... I would feel bad just throwing them out, but they're just taking up space. 

RPG a Day, Day 7: Our favourite price

Today's RPG a Day topic is Free RPGs, and I'm going to say boring things about them. I've been making videos for a while, but this is such a resolutely unvisual topic that I'm just going to do a blog post here.

My favourite free RPG is probably ... yeah, I think it's got to be Stars Without Number. If you're running a science-fiction game of any kind, I think it's a really useful thing to read. There are even tons of free supplements! Of course, after that I bought loads of supplements and other Sine Nomine games, so it seems like this free-rulebook business is working out for Kevin Crawford, at least as far as getting my personal money is concerned. While you're at the Sine Nomine page, there's another free Crawford title, Exemplars and Eidolons, which I have but have never read. I'll get to it!

I got a free (well, "included in the price") copy of the Victorian Scientific Romance (that's "steampulp" to you) RPG Forgotten Futures in an issue of Arcane magazine back in the day, but you can get it for free as well here. I'm not wild about the system, but the game's supplements provide vast resources for anyone wanting to run a Victorian Science Fiction game.

Obviously, there are umpty-bazillion free scenarios out there, but I strongly recommend Gormand's Larder, a weird little mini-dungeon with no text whatsoever, just illustrations.
