They also have a printer in Australia, and maybe one or two others I don't know of.

That would be great.

It's the second Monday in December, and the end of the year is fast approaching, as is the three-year anniversary of this Roundup. Because Christmas falls on a Monday this year I will likely (but not definitely) be skipping that day. Haven't made up my mind yet. I'm also toying with the idea of...

I'm probably at about 1.2k pages of published material. Two hexcrawl books, each around 300 pages, 28 issues of a monthly zine that has around 12 pages of new content each month, plus an assorted 10 or so published hexes that average about 30 pages of content. Plus some implied setting stuff...

Yes, it is. I think all three look really good. I was a little concerned at first glance when I saw Beyond the Pale -- especially now, I think tackling Jewish mythology is a fraught subject -- but knowing the Yochai is involved made me feel confident it would be done well.

They are not all straight.

It's the first Monday is December. What's left of my Twitter feed lit up on Friday with a news of an "Indie RPG Creators Summit" put on by Goodman Games with a promo that featured headshots of ten of the participants; white males all. With as much creativity and innovation as goes on in the OSR...

I pointed out to one of the speakers involved with Goodman Games that the tag "indie" is misleading; if they had just stuck with "OSR" there would be less of a fuss -- although I thing that is still misleading and misrepresentative of the current OSR movement, although there is a perception that...

Jarrett is former Exalted Funeral, and one of the few speakers that I think exemplifies the "indie" tag. Otherwise, it's a pretty shocking lineup that omits the most creative and innovative voices in the OSR/indie fields, many of whom are BIPOC, queer, or women (or a combination).

It's the last Monday in November, and the Thanksgiving holiday has ended for folks in the States and we're staring down the barrel of the gun that is Christmas in less than a month. A reader recently reminded me that I'm coming up of the two-year anniversary of this Roundup -- the first one was...

This is going to be somewhat of a shorter roundup; I got my Covid booster on Saturday and it has really knocked me for a loop. We're moving into Thanksgiving week in the States, and the resulting commercial frenzy that accompanies it. To do our part in furthering capitalism, Sabre Games is going...

We're cruising towards the end of the year, and almost to the Thanksgiving holiday in the States. One event lurking on the horizon is February's ZineMonth. I will be conducting my regular interviews with ZiMo creators, so if you've got something you're working on that you'll be crowdfunding for...

I It's the first week in November and the end of the year is rapidly approaching. Let's take a look and see what last week brought us. Longtime readers of this feature may know that one of my favorite OSR rulesets to have come out in the past couple years is Errant, by Ava Islam (you can find...

Welcome to the News Roundup for the last Monday in October. It's the day before Halloween, and we've seen no shortage of horror-themed releases this month. Let's jump straight in, shall we? Woeful Barrows and Other Places is a collection of short adventures written for Shadowdark that is...

Welcome to this week's OSR and indie News Roundup. As many readers might already be aware, Jennell Jaquays, one of the seminal figures in the development and evolution of D&D, is having pretty serious health issues and can use some support from the community. If you've got money to spare, her...

We're in the middle of October, and some stuff to go over. The only thing I wanted to point out is that I had mentioned Gurbintroll's (i.e. Blacky the Blackball) Light Fantasy Kickstarter. Last week I published a print interview with Gurbintroll where he talks about the design goals of Light...

How else are you going to find live wires?

Welcome to the second Roundup for October. We've got a number of Kickstarters I want to mention, but first there's something I'd like to address. I've been pretty clear about my support of creators and my desire to not promote anything with AI content. Last week I had some entries that expressed...
