While I normally write OSR products, I'm getting ready to launch a project on Backerkit that's funding the printing of two books geared towards creating hexcrawls and sandbox settings, with the purpose of being system-neutral. The first is Filling in the Blanks. I published this book six years...

Welcome to the fourth news roundup in June. Last week was a short release, due to travel plans and storms that interfered with my internet connection, so let's see what we can do this week to make up for it, shall we? I have found that the summer months, especially the month and a half leading...

Rob Conley is a publisher and author best known for the Blackmarsh setting and the excellent "How to Build a Fantasy Sandbox", and is currently raising funds for Into the Majestic Fantasy Realms: Northern Reaches. He's kindly agreed to answer some questions of mine. i Question: Tell us a bit...

Say hello to Lily. Almost three year old Great Pyrenees. Lily checks out a chicken.

We've reached the halfway point of June and things are starting to heat up here in Virginia. On Wednesday I'll be posting an interview I conducted with Rob Conley of Bat in the Attic games, so be sure to check out the blog for that. It's likely going to be a short one this week; I'm traveling...

Welcome to the second news roundup in June. We're about a month out from SabreCon2025, the mini convention we're hosting in downtown Charlottesville. If you're in the central Virginia area and would like to check it out we've got tickets available here. Josh McCrowell will be running a game of...

Yeah, these days I don't back a crowdfunding project as a retailer unless a) the finished product is ready to go and ship within a couple of months or b) there's an option for an upfront minimal pledge with the ability to do the full purchase when ready to fulfill.

I hope that didn't come across as not giving Falk credit! And yeah, in the grand scheme of delayed Kickstarters it's pretty minor. The one that turned me off to backing at the retailer level was the OSE boxset one from a few years back. I had about 1k in that and it was nine or so months late...

I don't know about that thread!

It's the first week in June and we're chugging right along. Before we dive into the Roundup I'd like to give a shout-out to author Raphael Falk. I don't back much stuff on Kickstarter at the retailer tier anymore; with having a physical store, asking for an up-front lump sum payment for a...

We're somehow at the end of May, already, and barreling into summer. It seems like over the last week I've seen a lot more new releases than I have for the past few months, so let's dive right in. First, I somehow missed last week that Colin Le Sueur, author of the excellent We Deal in Lead...

In this statement, released on February 18th, 2020, they explicitly state "we have no plans to release future Judges Guild titles". I've been in contact with some GG employees since the CSIO news originally broke, in my position as a retailer who carries GG products, and I specifically asked...

There may be more tucked away in other categories; I haven't had time to do a thorough search. These three titles were in the "Other Items" category.

Just FYI, @Morrus there are three JG products visible on the GG wholesale webstore. I took this screenshot about a minute ago.

Welcome to the third OSR News Roundup in May. Let's jump right in and see what is new today, shall we? First, I apologize for not mentioning this sooner. Wandering Blades is a wuxia-style game built on an OSR framework, and is a little more than halfway through its campaign. You can checkout...

Rascal just dropped an article on the debacle. Not sure if it is paywalled or not; if it is, please consider buying a subscription to help support ttrpg journalism (I'm not associated with Rascal in any form!)...

Yeah, it's one I'm looking forward to. I'm not familiar with the source material, but Gavriel puts out some great stuff.
