So I finished reading Patrick Stuarts epic Veins of the Earth, his unique take on the Underdark and thought that was a good reason as any to start an 'official' Lamentations of the Flame Princess thread here on the Pub. I'm a fan of Stuart's work and really enjoyed Veins, it is up there among the best releases yet from LotFP.
And since everyone enjoys a poll I thought I'd throw up a list of most of their major releases from their front page for us to vote on, you can give your reasons below, or select one not on the list and tell us about it.
Veins has a huge bestiary of really unusual monsters, an imaginative selection of spells, magic items and even cool lamps. Reasonable, easy to apply rules for climbing, getting lost, fighting with lamps and in darkness. Lots of tables to construct caves and encounters, a hundred sample caves, etc. The strangest section is a detailing of the different major civilizations in the Underdark that is pretty mind-bending and often abstract, probably the least practical but for those looking for flavour and really odd ideas it should get your juices going. Princess Scrap's art is too arty, primitive and abstract for some but I dig it.
Really looking forward to the next project that Raggi announced on G+, Jonathan Tweet doing an Over the Edge-inspired project, Al Amarja 1630.
