Metal Gods of Ur-Hadad Zine


In January, 2014, +Edgar Johnson+Wayne Snyder & I began to publish the Metal Gods of Ur-Hadad fanzine for the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. The 'zine is a labor of love that we're trying hard to put out quarterly, with one issue per season.

Out of the howling wilderness, 
Amidst sunken cities,  
And long-buried secrets, 
Man has forged a sword and cast off his chains.
Swords and Sorcery and Metal Gods. 
Danger, treasure, blood and glory, all mixed up in a blender 
And served up in Golden Ur-Hadad, First City of Ore. 
Enter, if you dare, the bitchin' mural 
On the side of your cousin's Ford custom van. 
Enter the world of the Metal Gods of Ur-Hadad. 
In many ways, the authors of this zine believe the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG to be the most Metal of the Old School-style RPGs on the market today. No other RPG consistently provides for us the same feeling of adventuring the through the worlds depicted on classic heavy metal album covers the way that DCC does. We love that feeling, that experience of wild abandon and reckless action drenched in blood and thunder, and we work hard to cultivate it in our games. Along the way, we made up some stuff to help us evoke that certain Metal feeling and this zine is our chance to share all of that with you.
