Is this the new lulu coupon code for 35% off or is it just for the ASE stuff?

SAVE35

NOTW: This code isn't working for me so it may be a boondoggle, but it was from the Henchman Abuse blog.

I think there is usually a 40% coupon in December, so I'm tempted to wait.  But maybe it's different this year.

Does anyone have any of the Expeditious Retreat books?  How are they?

I have some of the Expeditious Retreat Press Advanced Adventures (for OSRIC). Production-wise, they are pretty good (not top shelf, but certainly better than average). They are generally fairly short, at 12 pages or so. Content-wise, the quality varies, since they are written by a number of different authors.

For play/inspiration, I like these:
AA#1 The Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom
AA#2 The Red Mausoleum
AA#3 The Curse of the Witch Head
AA#26 The Witch Mounds
AA#28 Redtooth Ridge

(edit: I had forgotten Redtooth Ridge, which was cool)

I picked up this because it looked promising, but I haven't read it yet:
AA#31 The Lost Lair of Drecallis

I've heard great things about this:
AA#13 White Dragon Run

All the Advanced Adventure modules by (the late) Alphonso Warden are a kind of love-em-or-hate-em thing. He wrote six or seven of them, I think. I owned one of them (AA#4 The Prison of Meneptah), and enjoyed reading it, but never saw myself running it, so I sold it.

The hardcover Advanced Adventure compilations are a pretty good value.

Malevolent & Benign (XRP's monster book for OSRIC) was okay, but I didn't end up using it after two years of owning it, so I sold that too.

Also: If you buy the recent Advanced Adventure modules (roughly the last 10 or so, plus probably any of the older ones they reprinted) directly through XRP or in retail stores, you get a perfect-bound one. But if you buy from Lulu, you end up with a saddle-stitched one. The saddle-stitched ones are much better IMO for play, because they lay flat when opened up to a particular page.

Great to know, thanks Guy.

And by the way, I'm still looking forward to your next release(s)...  ;-)

I think I am going to hold out in the hopes of a 40% or higher general code but right now there is one for 50% off of hardcovers only:

Code: HC50

Wow, did Alphonso pass away or something? What happened? It seems like he was posting not long ago on DF and some forums. I like his 'People of the Pit' adventure

Yes, sadly it appears Alphonso Warden passed away in Apr 2012:
http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignit ... id=5076684

I don't have confirmation from family/friends that the above was actually for the same Alphonso Warden (I tried unsuccessfully to contact relatives), but his name is not common, and all of his forum accounts (here, DF, and Goodman Games) have last visitation dates shortly before the date of death mentioned in the memorial page. The last time he and I exchanged emails was just a couple weeks before that date. His email account is shut down, and I can find no evidence of online activity for him after that date. I reached out to a couple of of other gaming folks who he had been in contact with, and none of them have had contact with Alphonso since before that date in Apr 2012.

In addition to the dozen+ modules to his name, Alphonso also published some short stories in Bards and Sages Quarterly. Alphonso had an unpublished module manuscript that he had been shopping with publishers shortly before he passed.

If this is truly the same person, it saddens me that a writer in our industry has passed on without anyone really knowing.  :-(

Perhaps we should have a 'in Memoriam' thread that lists those that have passed and their contributions to the industry.  Maybe something like this exists somewhere already and I just don't know it.
