(Kickstarter) Delver 7: Resources for the Random-Rolling Referee #ZineQuest2023

 When it comes to Game Kickstarters, I actively avoid STL files (no 3-D printing options, plus I've got thousands of figures that need to be painted already) as well as most Fantasy Role-Playing Games.  I simply haven't used some of the material I've owned for decades, so if it doesn't hit my very specific demographic (or in the case of the Caves of Refuge, a known quantity from a trusted source) I'm simply not going to look at most of them. 

Delver magazine hits my demographic of utility and nostalgia. The current Kickstarter for Delver Issue #7 

Delver is a 'zine-sized magazine dedicated to OSR fantasy resources.  In reality, the primary features of Delver are random charts and tables, the staple of old-school D&D and similar ilk... and the foundation of my early years.   The one thing I've greatly appreciated while starting up my Gamma World campaign are the random charts and tables that exist even into 4th Edition.  Plus, outside of the currently module, everything else is sandbox and while the online resources for randomness are strong, there's nothing like referencing a particular chart for just this specific occurrence. 

Delver #1-6 in print and pdf are available as add-ons, as well as a customized Adventure Journal.
