The long dormant OSR zine Fight On! has returned from the crypt with a new issue, #15, dedicated to none other than J. Eric Holmes...!
Find it on DrivethruRPG (currently PDF only; print is coming) or on Lulu (print or PDF).
For this issue I contributed an article, titled "Ten Ways to Holmesify Your Game", which goes over ten different rules or themes you can use to make your D&D game more "Holmesian". It is accompanied by an illustration by Cameron Hawkey of adventurers tangling with a purple worm.
Other Holmesian content in this issue includes:
- "Holmes Town Heroes" by Tony Rowe (with whom I co-authored an chapter about Holmes in the recent book Fifty Years of D&D), which provides D&D character write-ups for Boinger, Zereth and Murray the Mage from Holmes' stories.
- "Bringing it All Back Holmes": Holmes Basic origin stories from Aron Clark (author of the Holmes & Clark RPG), Grodog and Calithena.
- "Distributary of Darkness" by Alex Zisch expands an area of the Sample Dungeon.
- Two original dungeon maps by J. Eric Holmes that relate to the Maze of Peril (these can also be found in Things Better Left Alone).
- A page of art by Chris Holmes
Plus loads of other content, including a continuation of the long-running Darkness Beneath megadungeon!
All of the Back issues of Fight On are also available, either individually or in compilations (see the links above).
