Now in its fourth issue, J.V. West’s Black Pudding is one of the most entertaining OSR ‘zines going. Each issue offers 28 pages of 70’s-style, DIY dungeon-crawling craziness, prizing imagination over logic and fun over complexity. And while every Black Pudding feature may not fit into every OSR campaign, West’s rapid-fire writing, exaggerated illustration, expressive hand-lettering (yes, West letters most of the content by hand!) and absolutely unfettered creativity makes every page a hoot to read for anyone who appreciates D&D the way they played it in Lake Geneva.

LOVE THIS ZINE!!!

Puts the fun in gaming !!!

Kind of a Mad Magazine of Old Skool gaming.

Great Work!!!

Can't wait for the next issue.!!!

Another issue of the short but sweet RPG zine Black Pudding! I bought it, paying above reccomended and didn't regret it.

This is a neat supplement to the "Retro" style RPG with cute cartoony graphics ala the indie/underground era, luscious women, scary/creepy monsters, brawny barbarians or scraggy wizards. Lots of neat RPG class ideas and dungeon ideas, same for new creatures.
