In the first issue of Oubliette I reviewed Faster Monkey Games' Turntracker which I thought was a good product, if a little pricey for what it is.  Last week, for a similar cost, I picked this little device from eBay.  I'm using it as a round counter and have to say it works really well.  Stashed behind a DM's screen, you can just click it every time initiative is rolled.  I guarantee that it has the potential to infuriate players and can really help build tension.

We're busy working on Oubliette 3 which will be packed with loads more old school goodness.  I'll put up a full contents list next week.  

I've been thinking about some more things to add to the blog.  I play in two campaigns so I'd quite like to run some session reports on those.  I'm also going to try and include some posts on miniatures and some other gaming items.

NEW Updated MK2 AEC Character Sheets

I've just put up a 2 new character sheet packs (one US English and one UK English) as free downloads on RPGNOW.com They're essentially the same as the last ones but now have slots to mark off ammunition for missile weapons. included are 2 optional reverse sheets that allow loads of extra character information to be recorded. And as a little extra the pack comes with 12 character sketches in full colour that can be printed on to the sheets.

I'll put up a contents list for issue 2 next week.

Free to Download Advanced Character Sheets

I've put 2 sets of character sheets up on rpgnow as free downloads.  Each set contains 3 blank character sheets designed for use with the Advanced Edition Companion rules for Labyrinth Lord.  There are 2 versions of this product UK English and US English.  The only difference between them is the spelling of the word ARMOUR/ARMOR.  

Each set includes a standard character sheet, a version for spellcasters and a version for thieves.  I created them as the adventure in the next issue of Oubliette will come with optional pregen characters.  I was aiming for an old school home-made look - sort of PDF version - of what I might have done by hand 30 years ago on graph paper but better.

I'm happy for these to be shared, copied and hosted as FREE downloads.

Here are the links to them:
