Not specifically Olde Skuul project related, but a book about some of the earliest tabletop RPG work of Jennell Jaquays, one of the founders of the company is currently being kickstarted by Goodman Games.

The massive book from Goodman which collects my major contributions to Judges Guild, along with new essays, interviews, and curated photos and memorabilia from my personal collection is live. It not only details my time at Judges Guild, but provides a creator's eye view of the history of The Dungeoneer and some insight into what RPG gaming was like back in the 70s as the hobby was being born.

From Jennell's promotional material -

I mentioned this project earlier this year when the whole brouhaha surrounding the current owners of Judges Guild was a foaming mess. JG and its owners receive nothing from this book. Goodman Games will be donating a portion of the proceeds to a pair of non-profits that deal with discrimination and defamation. Both GLAAD and the Anti-Defamation League (adL) will be the recipients. (My wife, Rebecca Heineman has been on the board of GLAAD, which deals with discrimination and defamation in public media, such as the news, movies, television, and more recently games).

An oversized compilation with The Caverns of Thracia, Dark Tower, rare Dungeoneer zines, and more from the Golden Age of Role Playing!
