So much fantasy this week with a hint of the post-apocalyptic for added spice and danger.

Castles & Crusades gets a new printing of the rules, a book full of classes, and character sheets to go with both. Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG gets a...

Dungeons & Dragons has maps of The Wild, an adventure, inspiring lists, potions, and dungeon encounters. Delta Green RPG has a new adventure. For you Vikings out there, there is a bag o’ runes to be had which is one of the best things I’ve found for this column in a...
Dungeons & Dragons has a Renaissance world setting of anthropomorphic animals and another dark world ruled by a despot and his Dismembered Legion. Soulbound gets an adventure path and Mörk Borg gets a variety of new rules. Traveller has more deep space exploration adventures. Twilight 2000 gets a screen and cards and there are new building models out for modern and sci-fi campaigns.
Imagine surviving another battle in war only to find yourself cut off from command. No medevac, no calling in incoming fire, no reinforcements, no going home. Twilight: 2000 takes the Year Zero system and couples it with brutal combat that leaves it mark on everyone involved who survives. A campaign kicks off with a lost battle and the last communication from headquarters, “Good luck. You’re...
This week I am on vacation so this one is all about the classics. A combination of core rulebook and adventures book(s) that you can spend any gift or return money on including Warhammer, Call of Cthulhu, Mutant: Year Zero, Delta Green, and more. And an honorable mention for M-Space, a print on demand RPG that I would not normally cover since it isn’t available in retail but is worth checking...
Content for Dungeons & Dragons includes a supplement of rule additions, two new classes, and a deluxe deep earth supplement. Old-School Essentials is back in print with a new cover and another old school adventure goes deep into the woods. Traveller goes deeper into space than ever before with a massive 20 year mission of exploration aboard a former navy cruiser. Conan gets a pirate water...
The RuneQuest Starter Set introduces GMs and players alike to a mythic fantasy world filled with magic and challenge. The introduction is important because the world of Glorantha is massive and the rules of RuneQuest are intricate and detailed and include decades of design. The starter set promises to help me not only ground myself in the setting but also be able to run adventures using the...
A limited edition cover for Dungeons & Dragons Strixhaven is out and Twilight: 2000 returns with a bang in a new edition box set. Cthulhu also makes a return with Horror on the Orient Express now in double hardcover for Call of Cthulhu and Achtung! Cthulhu now for the 2d20 system. Everything then rounds out with more fantasy including a vegetable alien horror adventure, playing knights...
Filled with interesting ideas, Junkyard Blues for M-Space works well as a sandbox setting and, if the GM keeps a few points in mind, as an adventure. This review will cover the sandbox setting and wrap up with some ideas to help a GM run it as a full-fledged adventure.
Just in time for Christmas, all the fantasy. There are several new modules for Dungeons & Dragons and Swords & Wizardry as well as magic items, spelunking, and player and GM notebooks for D&D. Lamentations of the Flame Princess has new OSR content including a hardcover of 17th century maps and a packed boxed set covering a crime spree in 17th century Paris. The week wraps up with new pamphlet...

HarnWorld gets locations and Mothership gets new pamphlet supplements. Finally, there is support for punks and a newly updated one player RPG.
Getting a new monster book is one of my favorite experiences in RPGs, especially when most of the monsters are new to me. The Soulbound Bestiary (PDF only) has the right balance of having monsters that PCs can always fight (Chaos daemons) whose power rises as darkness falls across the realms and a collection of everyone and everything else that have to be dealt with on a case by case basis...
D&D has dragons and adventures, and Castles & Crusades has options for GMs, about gods, and valuable materials PCs can find. Soulbound gets a monster book and DCC RPG gets a reprint of a run of zines. Starship Warden sees two supplements and Feng Shui 2 gets two adventures.
