    An Adventure Gaming Bric-a-Brac. Being A Compendium of Miscellanea for Old-School RPGs. For us OSR weirdos and curious D&D heads alike.

    KNOCK! issue 4 is ready to go to press, just waiting for you to pledge. You know the formula: no theme, all mean. Once again, we've cobbled together a bric-|a-brac of game design insight, random tables, rules suggestions, monsters, classes, maps, adventuresrCa the lot. We've also added a short series (12 pages) aimed at post-WotC meltdown 5E refugees (or just your friends who yourCOd like to bring over to the adventure gaming side of the divide).

    The book is 212 pages (A5 format: 5.9rCO x 8.25rCO, slightly bigger than digest size) in beautiful full colour, printed on quality paper (coated 130 gr, with
    a cover on coated 300 gr) by Olivier's neighbours in the South Basque country.

    I have the 3 previous Knock! books and I think they're great. They typography is a bit all over the place, different styles used throughout the book, so if that's not your thing you won't like this. Make them a bit hard to read, but
    at least they're pretty to look and and not boring :)

    Books are really solid, and have content on every place they can, including
    the dust jackets.

    I looked at the kickstarters for them I think, but I really couldn't
    justify paying that much shipping. But I am living a bit off the beaten
    path.

    The shipping is the biggest pain point for a lot of kickstarters. I'd grab a lot more stuff, but when the shipping is equal to the cost of the item I also just have to let it go. They're not Pokemon and I don't need them all :)

    yeah but at least some of them would be nice to have. I have gone on to
    buy much more stuff lately, despite shipping. Because I feel like I'm at
    a point in my life that some wasteful spending is ok. So I order more
    stuff from Lulu that I really should have bought ten years ago :D
    (I finally got around buying Starships and Spacemen for example)
    Still, from what I remember Knock was way more expensive to ship to my
    place than the magazine even would have cost.
