Happy New Year, readers! And as a New Year's present for you, I figured I could share a ready-ref folio I'd been working on to supplement my LBB+Chainmail gaming experience. Link related below:

LBB & Chainmail Reference Folio |
As you might note from the file name - this was originally intended to be a DM screen. The idea that I had - and the end goal of the folio - is to fit into a spiral-type apparatus: where you might be able to put them, page by page, into three or four panels of spiral-ready screen holder, such that the relevant sections of each area of play would be covered on adjacent panels: if your party was in the dungeon, you'd pop out the dungeoneering and combat panels; if your party was in the wilderness, you'd pop out the hexploration and mass battle pages; and so on. Something like this:

Currently artless - you'll note that right away - but once I'm happy with the
colocation of rules and have gotten the order figured out to make the
flippy-screen idea work, it might be cool likewise to have other-side artwork
that equally corresponds to tone: so, say, if you have the fantasy combat
rules up on your side, the player facing side would have an epic
Gandalf-V-Balrog type picture: or if you have the generic equipment and "town"
panel up, it would have the marketplace of Zamora. But we'll see when we get
there.
As for content, it's got reference pages for combat, exploration, and mass battles - including naval or aerial engagements - as defined in the LBB rules or as extrapolated on in my pet project, Ode to '74. It does have a very Chainmail flavor - the alternative combat system is not present - however outside that, it can be useful playing any 0e or 0e-adjacent game.
See something missing? Let me know! And happy delving!
