I have made a compendium of all of my Gothic Fantasy gaming bits available for free.  You can download it as a pdfhttps://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwQATTvvXyh3cVF5Z1JESnJTWDJTUWtPQ2tob0JjQQ"> here from Google docs.  Here's what you get in the compendium: an introduction to Gothic Fantasy, my home campaign setting, three new classes compatible with old-school fantasy games, my house rules,  44 monsters, 26 spells, 7 magic items, and more random tables that I cared to count.  Much of this has yet to see the light of day on my blog.



Believe it or not, there was actually publisher interest in some of this material.  However, I've decided to release this into the wilds for free under a Creative Commons license in the spirit of DIY gaming.  The best gaming material I've seen since I started blogging has been freely available on OSR blogs; consider this my way of saying "thank you" for all the inspiration and good gaming you've all given me.



I've done my best to make the Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque compendium well-formatted, typo-free, and well-organized, but this is an amateur hobby production.  If you download this, let me know what you think I could do better in the future.



Hell, if you download this, let me know what you think of it in general.  Or that you downloaded it at all!



Enjoy, and Happy Gaming!



PS - If you saw an earlier draft of the compendium, this final version has additional content!

There's excellent stuff in this compendium.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Nice work, given the early skim. I see you gave the rules for Fear the cut, though.

The fear rules should be in there still.  (Page 51 or so)

Cool . That's what I get for trying to read with deadly hangover.

Hah!  Take it easy, Rince.  And thanks for the earlier compliment on the pdf.

From a quick scan, I really like what I see. It reminds me of the Arduin Grimoires -- a nifty collection of interesting stuff on a homebrew campaign world.

Thank you!  That is a very flattering comparison!

I don't mean to be incredibly dense (though I am having a few senior moments), but how do I download your document? Clicking on the link shows it in the Google docs reader, with Russian button names. Even after I translate them, I can't see what to do.

Thanks for any assistance!

I figured out how to do it. Curse you, aged brain!
