First up is the titular zine, <strong><em>Zeck's Shoppe of Riches</em></strong>. Think d100 OSR magic items, all meant to kickstart your imagination. These range from mundane to campaign breakers, so use as you see fit. Next up is <strong><em>Tischler's Tome of Treasures</em></strong>, which is more of the same, d100 magic items and rumors. Again, these are items that’ll inspire the GM. Finally, <strong><em>Fichte’s Rumors of Lost Treasures</em></strong> is a 20-page booklet that adds d100 new rumors and two dozen new magic items to the mix. It’s a stretch goal with the PDF unlocked, but the print version would require a big leap in funding to reach. Still, if you want some magic item guidance, these are likely to spark new ideas for your campaign.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/philipreed/zecks-shoppe-of-riches-a-collection-of-osr-magic-items/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/philipreed/zecks-shoppe-of-riches-a-collection-of-osr-magic-items/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]284171[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ericfrombloatgames/forgotten-ballad-a-sword-and-songs-adventure-game" target="_blank"><strong>Forgotten Ballad - A Sword & Song Adventure Game</strong></a><strong> from </strong><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/9721/Bloat-Games?affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank"><strong>Bloat Games</strong></a></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Mon, May 15 2023 6:00 PM EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: An original system</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Core rulebook</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: $9 for the PDF of the book</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>DISCLAIMER</strong>: I have been published by Bloat Games.

The rules are lite, the art is both an homage to <strong><em>The Legend of Zelda</em></strong> and its own art style. As soon as you check out the pamphlet, you’ll feel the world and see the possibilities. With this <strong>Kickstarter</strong>, you’ll get the extras you need to take this from an engine where you will fill in the blanks to a full RPG experience. As <strong>Bloat Games</strong> continues to move from exclusively publishing internally developed projects to publishing RPGs from external creators. Fellipe da Silva’s original pamphlet, <a href="https://coolwayink.itch.io/forgottenballadpamphlet" target="_blank"><strong><em>The Legend of The Forgotten Ballad</em></strong></a>, caught Eric Bloat’s eye when a fan brought it up during Bloat’s <strong>Kickstarter</strong> for <strong><em>Overworld</em></strong>. After <a href="https://crowdfundr.com/forgottenballad" target="_blank">Fellipe’s </a><a href="https://crowdfundr.com/forgottenballad" target="_blank"><strong>Crowdfundr</strong></a><a href="https://crowdfundr.com/forgottenballad" target="_blank"> campaign</a> for the 52-page version of the game ran in February/March of this year, Eric approached him about doing a hardcover edition using Bloat’s printer for delivery to US backers, which resulted in this campaign. For non-US fans, Fellipe will offer copies of the zine from his <strong>Crowdfundr</strong> after he fulfills his campaign. If you’re a fan of rules lite RPGs and <strong><em>The Legend of Zelda</em></strong>, this is worth picking up. You can check out the campaign page for a link to the preview of the game.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/ericfrombloatgames/forgotten-ballad-a-sword-and-songs-adventure-game/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/ericfrombloatgames/forgotten-ballad-a-sword-and-songs-adventure-game/minichart.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]284172[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/throwigames/back-to-basix-issue-12-fanzine" target="_blank"><strong>Back to BasiX Issue #12 Fanzine</strong></a><strong> from </strong><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/7648/ThrowiGames?affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank"><strong>ThrowiGames</strong></a></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Mon, May 15 2023 9:30 PM EDT.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: <strong><em>Dungeons & Dragons B/X, Old-School Essentials, </em></strong>and <strong>OSR</strong></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: RPG zine</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: $6 for the POD discount code for the zine.

Each book offers different elements of the wilds, lands without true owners. The books have rules and lore, adventures, and over 100 monsters to combat. Ending soon, this campaign is worth checking out for fans of [B]5e[/B] and the [B][I]Iron Kingdoms[/I][/B].

First up is the titular zine, [B][I]Zeck's Shoppe of Riches[/I][/B]. Think d100 OSR magic items, all meant to kickstart your imagination. These range from mundane to campaign breakers, so use as you see fit. Next up is [B][I]Tischler's Tome of Treasures[/I][/B], which is more of the same, d100 magic items and rumors. Again, these are items that’ll inspire the GM. Finally, [B][I]Fichte’s Rumors of Lost Treasures[/I][/B] is a 20-page booklet that adds d100 new rumors and two dozen new magic items to the mix. It’s a stretch goal with the PDF unlocked, but the print version would require a big leap in funding to reach. Still, if you want some magic item guidance, these are likely to spark new ideas for your campaign.

The rules are lite, the art is both an homage to [B][I]The Legend of Zelda[/I][/B] and its own art style. As soon as you check out the pamphlet, you’ll feel the world and see the possibilities. With this [B]Kickstarter[/B], you’ll get the extras you need to take this from an engine where you will fill in the blanks to a full RPG experience. As [B]Bloat Games[/B] continues to move from exclusively publishing internally developed projects to publishing RPGs from external creators. Fellipe da Silva’s original pamphlet, [URL='https://coolwayink.itch.io/forgottenballadpamphlet'][B][I]The Legend of The Forgotten Ballad[/I][/B][/URL], caught Eric Bloat’s eye when a fan brought it up during Bloat’s [B]Kickstarter[/B] for [B][I]Overworld[/I][/B]. After [URL='https://crowdfundr.com/forgottenballad']Fellipe’s [/URL][URL='https://crowdfundr.com/forgottenballad'][B]Crowdfundr[/B][/URL][URL='https://crowdfundr.com/forgottenballad'] campaign[/URL] for the 52-page version of the game ran in February/March of this year, Eric approached him about doing a hardcover edition using Bloat’s printer for delivery to US backers, which resulted in this campaign. For non-US fans, Fellipe will offer copies of the zine from his [B]Crowdfundr[/B] after he fulfills his campaign. If you’re a fan of rules lite RPGs and [B][I]The Legend of Zelda[/I][/B], this is worth picking up. You can check out the campaign page for a link to the preview of the game.

In this issue, there are reviews of [B][I]X2 Castle Amber[/I][/B] by Tom Moldvay and [B][I]Adventurers Wanted![/I][/B] from [B]New Big Dragon Games[/B], a convention exclusive adventure. There’s an interview with Gavin Norman of [B]Necrotic Gnome[/B], a comic by Travis Hanson, and several adventures for your gaming group. In terms of graphics, I am a huge fan of the logo for [B]B[/B]ack to Basi[B]X[/B]. The enlarged “[B]B[/B]” and “[B]X[/B]” in the logo visually call out the system that this project promotes.

You’re tasked with clearing this land and keeping the locals flow of occult artefacts moving. You have a time limit, by the spring the lands will be sealed off and you’ll be trapped. At 320 pages, this project offers a lot of setting, intrigue, and rules to inspire dark dealings as your adventurers learn more about the world. [B][I]TEETH’s Forged in the Dark[/I][/B] rules are tweaked to emphasize occult investigations, monster hunting, mutations, and insurrection. If the idea of a months long exploration appeals to you, this campaign is worth a look.
