Saturday, December 5th, 2009In the dim and distant past (well circa 1996), when I had my first web site on mudhole, I had some pages about SLA Industries a British, dystopian, science fiction, table top role-playing game. Last night I revived some of those pages from back-ups. So for the first time in quite awhile (well probably 8 […]

Rules for Beetle and other Old Games
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009Years ago I was asked for a set of rules for the game Beetle and the other day I got an email asking if I still had them.

Miniature Pulp Era Posters
Monday, July 20th, 2009Back in August 2007 I posted a set of Miniature Victorian and Edwardian Posters which at the time didn’t really seem to get a lot of downloads or get any feedback.
