A: Secrets is a fanzine for Swords & Wizardry and other OSR games. Strange Races is an issue dedicated to new (and slightly unusual) player races.
Q: What's in Strange Races?
A: No half-orcs, half-elves, or gnomes. They've been done. Strange Races has...
- 25 new player races for S&W and similar games, including:
- the avia, rulers of the Feathered Realm;
- the khon, a pseudo-human race locked in a vicious evolutionary cycle;
- the sekhm, a noble race of warrior-scholars;
- the leshii, barbaric forest guardians;
- expanded information on lesser-known OGC races like the dakon, mites, ubue, and valco;
- S&W variants of the aasimar, teuflings, and clockwork characters;
- and racial class information for each new race.
- A Random Culture Generator, for your random culture needs;
- Snippets of lore from the Feathered Realm setting;
- An overview of the elves of the Shadowend.
Secrets is covered under the Open Game License, and 100% Open Game Content.
$1.99: The pdf version of Secrets #2 is available at the d20PFSRD Store for $1.99
$4: The print version is available for $4 through the Paypal link in the sidebar, and each print zine includes one of ten different bonus content stickers.
$6: Print + pdf. Order through the Paypal link to the right, and I'll email you the pdf ASAP and send you a print copy.
International orders are the same price (yes, really), but it's a little easier on me if you order the print + pdf, and then you can enjoy the pdf while waiting for the envelope (although it only took 3 days for it to get to Barcelona, which is pretty darned good - it took longer to get to some USA addresses.)

Greg Gorgonmilk snuck a micro-review of Strange Races into his OSR PDF Roundup post. He calls the leshii and the clockworks "crazygood".

DeleteAny option to still get Secrets #2 print edition?
ReplyDeleteNot yet. Reprinting #1 & #2 are on my list, but I just started a new job and it's keeping me busy. I'll post on the blog here when it happens. Hopefully within a month, but don't quote me.
