Lighthearted Skulls
While working on some character portraits for the new material, I remembered this lighthearted skit about the SS uniforms. I like the way Mitchell and Webb takes a modern semiotic interpretation and applies it to an older cultural context, they are experts in this. Have a look at some of the other WW2 material they have done, this for instance. - - -

Work is in progress
While our new realises has been scarce lately we have by no means been inactive. Right now we are working on a second edition. This edition will have more or less the same basic rules but we will add a lot of background material. There will be descriptions of social classes, living standards, states, languages, tech-levels etc. together with tons of ideas for new scenarios. There will also be more background material and company descriptions for the O:FR organisation. We hope to provide Game Masters and players with a very extensive feeling for life, politics and adventure in 1939 Europe. - - -

New year, new inspiration material (in swedish)
"In great secret SS leader Heinrich Himmler obtained the castel Wewelsburg in the early 1930s. The goal was to create an ideological centre for the SS and in the long perspective build a foundation for the holy capital of the Aryan elite of the third reich." -- This is the introduction to this radio show about Wewelsburg, from Sveriges Radion P1. Very informative, go listen (in swedish). - - -

Buddhist statue found by Nazis is from space

The British Occult Secret Service
I had to share this article with you all -- The British Occult Secret Service. It's hard to describe it -- it's more of a fantastic story than an article. From Sir Francis Walsingham (father of British Secret Service, beautifully portraid by actor Geoffrey Rush in the movie Elisabeth from 2007) , to sexual orgies of the Hellfire Club, to Ian Flemming's clandestine and occult plans during World War 2. - - -

Main Rulebook Version 2
Three years ago we released our first products here at Fallen Publishing. We have been working to improve them everyday since. When we realized that we would actually be able to sell all of our 400 first copies of the Main Rulebook, we started to make plans for the next step. Should we print more of the same thing or should we improve? We feel it's time to improve the Main Rulebook but we also need to extend our reach as a roleplaying game publisher. - - -

Ken and Robin Talk about stuff
If you are interested in contemporary rpg game design and cultural curiosity this new podcast is perfect for you -- Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff. This session with game designers and writers Kenneth Hite and Robin D. Laws was very inspiring and informative. Ken introduces his new rpg Night's Black Agents, a spy thriller with vampires. Robin gives travel advise and I just added Sir John Soane's Museum to my “must experience”-list. Don't miss the last segment where Robin lets Ken loose as the Consulting Occultist where he walks very familiar O:FR ground talking about the The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Ken gives a brief history and analysis but also has time to compare early 20th century spiritual and occult leaders to game designers and LARP creators. - - -
