About this blog/site/whatever this is:
This is where Lizard (that’s me) posts about anything basically gaming related, including but not limited to massive amounts of free material for use with RPGs, mostly D&D 4e at the moment, but who knows where my next obsession will take me? The other main feature on the site is my slowly growing collection of detailed walkthroughs/reviews of products, with a slight bias towards older games and supplements, especially the wonderfully energetic stuff that emerged in the late 1970 for Dungeons & Dragons. There’s also a smattering of book reviews and rants.
Oh, and Earth Delta, my ever-growing interpretation of classic (that means Gamma World, 1st and 2nd edition) mutant roleplaying for modern (D&D 4e) rules. Combine it with WOTC’s Gamma World, or use it on its own, or take the ideas there and adapt them for Mutant Future — just have fun!
This used to be a Joomla based site and the links to it are now thoroughly broken; sorry about that.

Hello Mr. Lizard,
I just wanted to give you a huge thank you for the wonderful review you gave to Star Rovers. I bought it when I was fourteen, and was blown away at the time by the incredible imagination and great artwork that helped constitute the game. I especially loved the posters showing the different historical eras and various incredible technologies. When your review covered it as excitedly and fondly as I remembered as a teen, it really warmed my heart to no end! : )
I dearly hope the owner gives you permission to create supplements, and quite frankly, I think it is time for this classic rpg to get an overhaul and be released once again into the marketplace. I would be the first in line to buy it.
I could not initially remember the name of this game or the publisher, and I had a very hard time trying to figure things out. But my own google search took me to you, about the same time people on rpg.net recalled what the game title was based on my old memories of it. lol And so finding your review was really the icing on the cake! It was so nice to realize my old memories were not simply of a second rate game that my old recollections had made far better than it deserved.
If you attend the Feb 25-26th 2012 Vulcon gamers convention in Phoenix, Arizona, I would very much enjoy meeting you.

Hi! Glad for the feedback, and I almost didn’t see it because it was dumped into a spam folder by my ever-vigilant spam-watching-program, along with 16 other things that were genuine spam. I’m glad you enjoyed the article… any links to the RPG.net discussions you said led you here?
Highly dubious I’ll be in Pheonix, though… sorry.
