Yeah, it looks great. It's filling a niche that, quite honestly, I'm surprised hasn't been filled sooner, what with the number of indie LatinX and BrOSR (Brazilian OSR) creators out there these days.

This is going to be a bit of a short Roundup; I had covid and flu boosters on Saturday and they really knocked me for a loop. Just a caveat before we dive into the week's releases: I hope that I'm not coming across too critical of some of these projects, specifically when discussing lead and...

Oh, yeah, totally. I would have just assumed it would have been easier to take something a little more abstract, like a sector, or a theme, like corporate malfeasance, and go with that, rather than something much more laser-focused.

It's a curious choice, to be sure. It seems like it might require a fair amount of coordination between the different participants, rather than doing something more open ended/larger in scope.

It's the first roundup for October, and the big event for this month is Mothership Month. It starts on October 14th, and will be chock full of projects Mothership. Exeunt Press is running an event for October as well, called Morktober, which is for all the various Mork Borg games. Backerkit has...

It's mostly OSE, but is technically a bespoke system.

Good luck with your entry!

I think the main disconnect with D&D-style games is when people don't transition to large parties --> domain play. I absolutely agree that if you play D&D as a dungeon crawl from levels 1-14/1-36/1-20 (whatever your preferred version uses as a level range) it doesn't make sense, and you quickly...

Welcome to the last OSR News Roundup in September. This month has just flown by, at least for me, and we're staring down the barrel of the gun that is the end of the year. The past couple weeks have been pretty busy, and next month is the Backerkit sponsored Mothership Month, so we'll likely be...

There's 24 hours left to back this project! We're heading into the home stretch!

I did, in fact, use that article, but I also went through the OSE Classic and Advanced classes and reverse engineered them to come up with the formula I used in the Classing up the Joint publication.

Ah, I missed the race and class note. I'm a dyed-in-a-wool race-as-class guy.

We're heading into the tail end of September, and staring down towards the end of 2025. First, I'd like to apologize to Ron Sparks of BoredtoBoardGames. He reached out to me over the summer and asked me to mention his new release Against the Dark!, and I totally dropped the ball on it. Sorry...

Looks like that's not the only game WTG has managed to, um, mismanage. It sounds like the release of Mark Hunt's BX Gangbusters is not going so well: Gangbusters B/X Edition? | Tabletop Roleplaying Open
