Perhaps against my better judgement I'm going to be testing the waters with an OSR Adventure Path for ZineMonth. It's something I've been toying with at the back of my mind for awhile now, and I'm going to use this opportunity to kick the tires on it, as it were, especially since my focus has been almost exclusively on open-ended hexcrawl sandboxes.

The project is called Quest for the Unknown: The Caverns of Anamosa, and will be a remix of B1 In Search of the Unknown, cleaning up and reorganizing the dungeon, and setting it up to be the first in the series of a linked campaign. The adventurers will explore the eponymous dungeon, finding it abandoned by the builders, who are renowned for having stopped a barbarian invasion decades previous. As they explore, they'll find clues that indicate the pair left several years previous, to travel to the land of the barbarians for unknown reasons.

This is an experiment, to see how well the idea of an Adventure Path goes over with the OSR community. You can follow along here before the launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thirdkingdom/quest-for-the-unknown-an-osr-adventure-path

SMIF Art! Haven't seen his art since GURPS 3e days.

Speaking of OSR community - where else are you publicizing this?
