I recently purchased and received Oubliette Magazine and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. I received issues one through four as a single compiled book and separate issues five through seven. This is a wonderful fanzine put together by Peter Regan that focuses on old school role-playing (with a particular focus on Labyrinth Lord). Each issue is filled with wonderful hand drawn art and a number of articles:
Monster Club - All manner of monsters, tricks and traps.
Various adventures for characters of all levels.
Mouse Watch - A Mouse Guard-esque comic.
Tales from Hell - A comic following the exploits of several Kobolds and their buckets
Goblin Quest - A larger paneled comic following several nasty little goblins.
Articles - From the the various of uses of a 10ft pole or how to grief a Paladin, really great stuff, the meat of the magazine.
The Song of Sithakk - An epic dwarven story.
I would highly recommend Oubliette Magazine to anyone interested in old school gaming, its a great purchase thats loaded with goodness! The eighth issue should be out this spring, once its available you will be able to purchase issues four through eight as a compiled book (like current issues one through four). I'll post a link on the left of the page so eveyone can go check them out, don't forget to support their blog while your there!
Thanks very much for the review. The writing for issue 8 is nearly finished, so it should be out by the end of May.
