Why is *Kevin Crawford* (Sine Nomine Publishing on RPG Now) so awesome? After reading An Echo Resounding I get the itch to return to my *Wilderlands of High Fantasy* map (pretty big) and give it the *Sine Nomine* treatment. I also liked what he said on the Jennisodes as he was talking about running a sandbox and publishing supplements that help others run sandboxes.

I backed his Spears of the Dawn with $8 on Kickstarter. I really like this part:
To encourage this, all art used in *Spears of the Dawn* will be released into the public domain upon its publication. You are encouraged to use it for your own commercial or noncommercial products. – Kevin Crawford
I started looking around the *Sine Nomine* website and noticed Other Dust. A post-apocalyptic old school game? I’m thinking Mutant Future and Gamma World. Have you tried it? I just read the review on Grognardia. I guess I could justify the $19.90 price tag for the PDF as a sort of donation for the free Stars Without Number.
Then again, when will I ever have the time to *play* all of it? And yet, I can’t shake the feeling that I’d love to have all his products as hardcovers in my bookshelf. 👌

Completionist urge hitting hard again?

I read his Kickstarter write-up and in it he says there is a market for African based settings/adventures and this Kickstarter will prove it. I hate to tell Kevin Crawford this but if I do pledge some money it will be because this is a Kevin Crawford product, not because of the setting.
I love his work and nothing he has produced thus far has been bad, in fact, his products are above the norm.

@Harald – indeed! 😄
@Callin – I’m not sure. After all, Nyambe for d20 was mentioned a lot back when it was new. Then again, I bought it and never played it. So perhaps that’s true for many of the others who bought it.

I have Nyambe as well along with one of its sourcebooks. While I never ran it as written I did include parts of it in my 3E campaign. I am indeed a completionist. However, with this particular offering I am more drawn by the author than the actual setting.
