Perhaps it is useful to mention that the rules for the latest version are just about completely different (you folks probably know that, a casual reader may not know).

Top marks for the thread title… 😁

I only have a passing familiarity with BitD so won’t try to comment on clocks. I do love Dramatic Tasks, however, and they are a mechanism I probably use as often as combat when GMing SWADE. The strength of Dramatic Tasks, for me, is that they do put mechanical weight into what the characters...

And Deadlands Noir and there is a medieval Deadlands on the development path (Deadlands Dark Ages? Not sure what the working title is). Pinnacle‘s volume of development is off the charts at the moment.

In a recent stream about the new Kickstarter for Ghost Mountain, Shane Hensley mentioned they have tried to get the Thundarr license but at the time he managed to track down the right person to ask they weren’t interested. He keeps it on his ‘to do list’ to ask them again periodically! Savage...

I have a collection of these. Setting bibles of different kinds are great for this purpose. I have them for Song of Ice and Fire, The Wheel of Time. Even Glorantha has a pair of system-less setting books. I also have four art books by Simon Stålenhag - Tales from the Loop and three further...

Ioun Stones are also straight out of Vance…

Here’s another one for you, currently with 60 hrs to run: Big Box of Dungeon Doors This is by Loke who do great battle mats. The campaign is for standee doors of different kinds to use with your maps and minis. It comes with a bunch of reusable maps, too as a bonus.

Another Crowd Funding project finishing in that window is a double-‘Game Changer’ From Pinnacle: Terror on The Dark Frontier & Land of a Thousand Islands [link] This is a double-campaign for Savage RIFTS. Terror on the Dark Frontier is an adventure boxset, while Land of a Thousand Islands is...

Worlds Without Number is very pretty and its GM tools can be used in any fantasy game. The companion book ‘Atlas of the Latter Earth’ came out very recently.

While this might be a common use case, RuneQuest was doing this in 1978. Indeed!

GURPS Conan and four solo adventures are still available in PDF from Warehouse 23.

Another Kickstarter in the final furlough is Titan Robotics for Palladium Rifts. Some contention, in that Palladium have had an unsuccessful Kickstarter in the past. This is being run by Sean Roberson who also does work for Savage Rifts and the book Is pretty much complete. As a bonus, the...

I guess it depends on a person’s definition of ‘D&D adjacent’. Sine Nomine’s Worlds Without Number is an OSR fantasy RPG with six stats, armour class and hit points but is not an OGL-based product.

The Last Parsec series of adventures from Pinnacle are good. They typically include a plot-point campaign and several ‘savage tales’ as well. One adventure would get you a campaign and maybe 5 one-shots. There are three free one-shots for Last Parsec on DriveThru as well.

Savage Worlds has already been mentioned for the fact it has a ‘standard’ and ‘Mass battle’ system. In the latest version (Adventurer Edition) there is also a third option - Quick Encounters. The purpose of that system is to quickly assess the outcome or impact of a less significant combat (or...

Loke have a new set of paired battle map books out, Castles, Crypts and Caverns. I am not affiliated with them, just a big fan. This one might have slipped by people’s radar as they didn’t go the Kickstarter route this time. I just got my set and it’s a fantastic product as usual. Here are some...
