Our store is located in Charlottesville, Virginia. We're on the same street, one block up, where, eight years ago, Heather Heyer was run down and murdered by a neo-nazi who was a member of the Unite the Right rally that invaded our city. Two blocks in the other direction is the largest Jewish...

Welcome to the News Roundup for May 12th, 2025. As I'm sure many readers are aware, the big news of the past week was Goodman Games announcing they will be running a City State of the Invincible Overlord, having made a licensing deal with Judges Guild, with whom they had pledged to cut ties in...

Maybe it is nitpicky from your point of view, but not everyone feels the same. Two of the business partners in our store are Jewish; they're extremely concerned about this, and I don't blame them. I'd certainly be a lot more forgiving and less suspicious if: a) It didn't require three press...

Yes, both of those titles are available for me to purchase and carry. I can post a screenshot of them in my cart if you would like. I am not sure how I am "correlating obscure bits of evidence". They made a statement on Feb 18th, 2020, stating that both they will not longer be selling Judge's...

So, in 2020 they posted a statement here, which you can still find on their website. I've copied it below, and bolded certain parts for emphasis. I've attached a screenshot of the current GG webstore (or, rather, the wholesale portal. I'm not sure if these titles are available through them at...

My concern is they didn't lead with this new statement; instead, they led with "build bridges, not walls". All of the above is excellent, and the right thing to do, but I need to think on Sabre's official position. When we opened the store one of our goals was to create an open and welcoming...

Sabre has decided to stop carrying Goodman Games projects due to their current stance on working with Judges' Guild. As such, we're having a clearance sale on our remaining stock. It's a great chance to pick up an otherwise excellent product, without any additional money going to the company...

We've got a regular at the store who runs a weekly DCC game and has done a lot to build a local community for the game. I talked to him today and they've (independent of me) decided to switch to OSE over this move. I've made a decision that we'll no longer be stocking Goodman Games products, and...

My wife is South African and grew up during apartheid. The embargoes and boycotts directly led to the end of apartheid, and certainly helped change a lot of peoples' minds. It is possible for boycotts to be effective, and even if they're not effective as one would like, that's certainly not a...

As I saw someone post elsewhere: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one with the nazi guy."

If you're looking for non-problematic publishers, I put out a weekly OSR/indie newsletter (which I repost here) that explicitly does not cover alt-right or problematic creators, with an emphasis of prioritizing the works of BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other marginalized creators. The Roundup also goes...

It's the first Monday in May, and time for a News Roundup. As of this writing, the ongoing tariffs are still throwing the gaming industry, as well as many others, into disarray. This is likely going to be the first week we really see the first impacts of the tariffs, especially if you live on...

I thought I had mentioned Horde a few issues back (since you're the author!). If I didn't, I apologize.

It's the last Monday in April, and that means it's time for the OSR News Roundup for this week. I've managed to tear myself away from getting our garden ready to compile a list of some of last week's releases and crowdfunding projects. First off, I'd like to plug a project of my own. I'm...

Mind over Matter is now live on Backerkit. This book provides two psionic systems for use in Old School Essentials and other similar OSR-games, one based off of the 2nd edition's Complete Psionics book, but using activation rolls instead of psionic points, and the other inspired by the 3.x Tome...

Welcome to the third news Roundup in April. Let's see what was new last week, shall we? One of my favorite cyberpunk games, Hard Wired Island, is currently funding on Kickstarter for a new print run. It's a nice, anti-corporate, anti-capitalist cyberpunk game set in an alternate Earth in the...
