From the publishers blurb:
Know then that in the latter days of the OSR, after the fall of King James and the disgrace of St. Malezsewski, a great confusion came upon the people.
These were days of darkness. Men forgot from whence they had come, and were tempted by false idols and heeded false council. One could find a thousand men who proclaimed themselves OSR, but none knew what it meant or why.
The halls of Drivethru were overflowing with lyric games, one-page dungeons, toolboxes and ARTPUNK. Men talked of politics at their table and quibbled over minor things. True craftsmanship once again became threatened with extinction.
But all hope was not lost.
Let it be known that from the dark and ancient corners of the OSR was begotten the NO-ARTPUNK CONTEST. In it, contestants were commanded to use for their adventures only book monsters, items and spells of the original game and their retroclones. Only a single item, creature and spell of their own invention was permitted.
You gaze now upon the second august Edition of No Artpunk, collecting the ten strongest entries of this year's annual competition. As a rare treat, a bonus entry, sent in but forestalled by the whims of the digital gods, has been included. May they bring much joy in perusal, discussion and actual play.
