A Vigilante Roleplaying Game Inspired by the OSR A vigilante roleplaying game inspired by the OSR Inspired by gritty Iron Age comics, FALLEN JUSTICE is a no-holds bared, bloody knuckled homage to powerless vigilante stories. Powered by the Venerable Knight Classics chassis, this old-school revival RPG is heavily based on classic White Box style roleplaying, but features some modern narrative mechanics. Take on the role of a brutal vigilante out to clean the streets by force and get ready to sink your fists into the faces of low-life criminals everywhere. This book contains no setting and is designed to be a toolbox to tell your own stories, but it is otherwise a complete game. Sample file GKG-025 A vigilante roleplaying game inspired by the OSR by Alan Bahr Sample file FALLEN JUSTICE draws heavily from the White Box line of supplements from Barrel Rider Games. We encourage you to investigate and purchase those excellent products for yourself. It also takes influence from Bloat Games’ wonderfulVigilante Hack and its supplements and fan community. And quite obviously, it’s literally based on Swords & Wizardry: WhiteBox, but FALLEN JUSTICE is a complete game.

We want to believe that as long as we do the right thing the world will be a fair place where the good are rewarded and the evil are punished. We all want to believe that at its core mankind is inherently a noble creature. It’s a beautiful lie. Instead, we live in a world where corrupt politicians line their own pockets, crooked cops protect nothing more than their own interests, and those who would abuse the humble and the pure of heart are protected by unjust laws. It makes you want to punch someone in the face, doesn’t it? It makes you want to tear the whole damned thing down with your bare hands, brick by brick. It makes you want justice. Fallen Justice is a roleplaying game of grim and gritty vigilante justice. The men and women some would call heroes are often as violent and brutal as those they oppose. 3 They do evil, unforgivable, unspeakable things. They traffic in fear and hatred. They commit crimes that damn them to a brief and brutal life followed by an eternity in Hell. They do it so that others don’t have to and because other, more righteous men, aren’t willing to. In Fallen Justice, Players take up the roles of these damned saviors and Narrators portray a world that seems impossible to save. Using a simple foundation of old school roleplaying, you and your friends will tell stories of morally grey vigilantes in a dark and broken world. These are men and women who do all the wrong things for all the right reasons. With no hope for themselves, they mete out justice and vengeance, pain and punishment, to the very last drop of their blood — and they do it by whatever means necessary.

  • Press Release
    Press Release February 2016 Brooklyn Museum Announces Iggy Pop Life Class, Conceived by Artist Jeremy Deller, to Be the Focus of an Exhibition in Fall 2016 Twenty-one artists, from all walks of life, gathered at the New York Academy of Art on Sunday, February 21, 2016, for a special life drawing class with a guest model, American rock legend Iggy Pop. The class was organized by the Brooklyn Museum and conceived by artist Jeremy Deller. The drawings created during the class will be part of a Brooklyn Museum exhibition in fall 2016, with a tour to be announced later. In stark contrast to his kinetic stage persona, Pop methodically posed nude on a different kind of stage. “The life class is a special place in which to scrutinize the human form. As the bedrock of art education and art history, it is still the best way to understand the body,” says Deller. “For me it makes perfect sense for Iggy Pop to be the subject of a life class; his body is central to an understanding of rock music and its place within American culture. His body has witnessed much and should be documented.” The participating artists represent New York’s diverse community, ranging from 19 to 80 years of age with varying backgrounds, and include undergraduate and graduate students, practicing artists, and retirees. The life drawing class was led by artist and drawing professor Michael Grimaldi. The twenty-one participants were selected by Deller and Sharon Matt Atkins, Vice Director, Exhibitions and Collections Management, Brooklyn Museum, from recommendations made by instructors at the Brooklyn Museum’s Gallery/Studio Program, the Art Students League of New York, Kingsborough Community College, the New York Academy of Art, Pictured: (l-r): Jeremy Day, Patricia Hill, Jeannette Farrow, Danielle Rubin, and Pratt Institute.

A central theme running throughout the collection is law, broadly, and the ways in which people adhere to or sometimes break from a particular rule, be it social or legislative. In each case, the role of law and its correlation to place and identity—either overt or veiled— serves as a major component of each story.

The 19th annual New Directions Cello Festival will be held at Ithaca College, June 7 - 9, 2013. Our outstanding lineup of guest artists will be Alex Kelly (CA), Ben Sollee (KY), Cloud Chamber Orchestra (NY), Daniel Levin Trio (NY), Laura Moody (UK) and Rushad Eggleston (CA). On a personal cellistic level, I have been working on my flying pizzicato (ala Stephen Katz) and chopping techniques. Those techniques, along with playing and singing, strumming chords, playing bass lines and improvising, are all part of what I would consider “new directions” cello techniques that didn’t exist when I was a young cello student and are part of what is so darned exciting about being a cellist in the 21st century! Just look at the cool workshops and
