The Phylactery

Celebrating their fourth year of putting the grind back into the Grindhouse, Planet X Games is bringing you

The Phylactery Omnibus - a collection of their first four zines (The Phylactery 1-4).

This volume includes an additional 50+ pages of ALL NEW, never before seen content, along with creator interviews, a cover gallery, bonus art and a sketchbook that takes a look at the evolution of the zine since its inception.
The content of The Phylactery zines is ALL OSR, ALL THE TIME – completely compatible with clones, retro clones and spawn-vat simulacra from early editions of the world’s most popular fantasy RPG. This big ole’ boy is perfect for the “plug-n-play, straight from the page to the table” function that the original issues are known for.

The Phylactery Omnibus delivers ALL NEW marauding monsters, wondrous magical items, forbidden spells, ancient artifacts, shadowy organizations, interesting NPCs, fantastic locations, random tables and alternate rules, along with FOUR hexcrawls and FOUR full-fledged adventure scenarios. One of those hexcrawls is so damn big it could have been its own zine!
