I've launched a new Kickstarter for the second compilation of Populated Hexes Monthly. Year Two compiles issues 13-24 into a single volume, with stretch goals to replace all existing stock art with commissioned art. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thirdkingdom/populated-hex-monthly-year-two

Welcome to the News Roundup for the first week in October. In all probability we'll be seeing a lot of horror and Halloween-themed releases this month. First, however, there are a couple of things I wanted to mention. I totally spaced on promoting Justin Sirois' (of Severed Books) metal zine...

Fall is officially here in the northern hemisphere, and we're gearing up to enter the spookiest month of the year. I'm sure the Roundup will reflect this over the next few weeks. Let's take a look and see what last week's new releases looked like, shall we? I don't typically like to promote...

As many readers of the Roundup might know, I opened a brick and mortar retail store this summer with a couple of other people, and last weekend had a really neat experience. There was apparently a zine Fest in Charlottesville that I wasn't aware of. After the festival, Jamie Douglas, a zine...

Someone just sent me this message on Discord. I thought it was very nice of them to say:

We're into the second week of September already -- this year has been flying by -- so let's see what was new last week, shall we? Oh, also, I don't usually promote Kickstarters before they go live, but Matt asked nicely (and I'm a huge fan of Tome of Adventure Design): Mythmere Games is getting...

I'm 99% sure the text in the above post is AI-generated. It's got all of the tell-tale linguistic traits of an AI-generated response, and none of Dave Johnson's idiosyncratic writing style. Pretty rich using AI-generated text to accuse someone of . . . using AI-generated text.

Welcome to the first news roundup of September. We're entering the end game of 2023, and will soon be getting into Halloween and a number of horror-themed releases. For now, though, let's see what was released during the last week of August. The past week was pretty slow on the new releases...

That's kinda what the illusionist did in the Arden Vul AP. He lost his spellbook and couldn't cast any spells, so he just put on some armor.

Populated Hexes Monthly #25 is now live. It introduces a new psionics system to OSR games that is not point-based, and two playable classes: the sheepfolk and sheepfolk contemplative: https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/product-page/phm-25-psionics-part-i

Flasks of oil, thrown daggers. Plus, magic-users are typically holding light sources until retainers can be hired to do these things. The Actual Play Youtube/Podcast 3d6 Down the Line has been adventuring in Arden Vul, and there was about a six month IRL stretch where the party's magic-user...

I don't know if you saw it or not, but I conducted an interview with the two authors a year or so ago. Meet the Publisher: Zedeck Siew and Mun Kao

And ninja-ed!

Spearwitch has Roach God in stock. They've actually got enough copies to sell to retailers, so I'm hoping to get copies in soon. Spear Witch

Welcome to the last news roundup for August. Summer is drawing to a close, kids are back at school, and we're moving (at least in the northern hemisphere) into fall. Let's see what was released last week, shall we? Zac Bir has released Journeyman Pocket Edition on itch, a rules-lite, generic...

No wonder apostrophes have gotten so expensive. nu-TSR is using up the supply.

I'm back from the beach and ready to dive into last week's new releases! Primate Practice Press has introduced an interesting, free entry into this years' One Page RPG jam. Entitled the losing game, it is written for MOSAIC Strict, and provides a way of resolving physical combat that involves...

Sounds like Spearwitch will be the only retailer with it, and they're waiting on all KS backers to get theirs before opening up general sales. You might want to reach out to Jared and ask what the plan is.

Oof, I don't to be honest. I know backers have gotten their copies. I haven't seen it pop up through any of my vendors. I can ask some of my contacts. I can think of a couple of folks who might be in the know.
