UnSung Heroes of the OSR World! - Part IV

I have two new nominations for UnSung Heroes of the OSR World! One of them comes from this thread where the subject of UnSung Heroes of the OSR World! - Part III credits Jimm Johnson as being the guy that got him back into D&D. And the other one I nominated.

 The Contemptible Cube of Quazar ...In the 66th æon of Eris by Jimm Johnson aka austinjimm who also hangs out at Knights & Knaves Alehouse. Jimm Johnson is one of the really great guys in Old School Roleplaying. The blog has been around since 2010 with 32 posts and you may say that is not much activity, which appears true, but there is more to it than that. For instance in his only post this year he says
 NTRPG Con 2016 kicks off this Wednesday evening. ....I will be running 3 games at the con this year. Thursday morning is my semi-annual OUTDOOR SURVIVAL hex crawl using the original 1974 wilderness rules. Saturday morning I'll be running Kids' D&D using my popular Knights & Wizards kids' rules, and Saturday night I'll be running the Odboxx itself.
You can see additional details at his blog. In his first post to the blog he says:
I'm titling this blog after my recent submission (and winning entry) to the 2010 One-Page-Dungeon contest: The Contemptible Cube of Quazar. Here's the backstory/teaser to the adventure:

Quazar, a powerful evil magic-user from planet Eris has accidentally transported himself and his cube-like stronghold to Earth. He is trapped in his Inner Sanctum until he can be freed by The Four Sacred Keys. In the meantime, the uncontrolled denizens of his fortress venture forth at night to feed and plunder the local villages.
His campaign resulted in his publication of this supplement for the Original Dungeons & Dragons:
Planet Eris Booklet 1 House Rules My House Rules... Rules Additions and Modifications for the Skull Mountain Megadungeon, the Sparn Empire and the Wild Lands of Oros.
Or aka the Planet Eris campaign, published by The Scribes of Sparn. Here is a link to his Books and Publications Spotlight on Lulu. Yes I think he well deserves to be recognized.

 Now we also have my nomination for this designation as an UnSung Heroes of the OSR World! and this is this blog:

 3 Toadstools My little blog about the OSR & RPG's by Shane Ward. This blog has been around since 2013 with 601 posts. He covers a wide range of subjects and here is his list of popular posts:
