And yet another bundle - Old School Essentials Treasures

Just received as I was heading to bed, another RPG bundle, this time add-ons for one of the most successful rules sets of the "old school revival":


( OSET Treasures )

I don't think I'm the audience this is aimed at - I'm not a big fan of the "old school" style of play, and not very interested in running fantasy adventures of this type. But it looks like you get a fair amount for your money, and if you like this sort of thing it could be well worth a look. But for me right now the only thing I want to look at is bed, so I'm just going to pass this on without comment, I'm too tired to delve into it...

Carnacki Update

It looks like I won't be able to add images from The Haunted Jarvee at present, if they exist at all. This is due to a series of mistakes...

Back when I originally wrote my Carnacki sourcebook I appear to have been given a 1912 date for this story (or misunderstood something and gave the wrong date). This turns out to be a mistake - The Premier Magazine, in which it appeared, was first published in 1912, and the date I gave was the first issue. Unfortunately the story was published posthumously, in March 1929.

The British Library's catalogue entry for this magazine gave me the impression that they had the full run on microfilm - this turns out to be incorrect, they only have February 1917 to December 1921. The catalogue has now been amended to make this clearer.

I think that back in the 1990s I was told that this had no illustrations - unfortunately I can't currently check, since I can't find a copy of the issue in question. But if someone out there has access to a magazine collection that includes it I would be VERY grateful if you could take a look and let me have photos or scans of any illustrations. If there is artwork, info on the artist would be useful.

Update: It looks like the Bodelian Library may have it - Periodical Issues 753761697 - in their closed stack. I have no idea how I can get to look at this; is there some way to request a scan or something?

Many thanks!
