The Backerkit Preview page for Mind over Matter is now live, and I'm shooting to launch next week, if all goes according to plan.

Welcome to the third Roundup in April. Last week I published an interview I conducted with Daniel Kwan, the author of the upcoming Wandering Blades, a wuxia-inspired OSR game being published by Plus One Exp. I'd like to revise my Meet the Publisher series, so if you're in anyway adjacent to the...

I was out of town last week for a short spring break trip, so there wasn't a news roundup last week. I'm going to do my best to encapsulate both in this Roundup, but we'll see how we do. Every once in a while I plug a release in the introduction, for one reason or another. This week, I'd like to...

There will be no Roundup today. I am out of town on vacation. Please feel free to add any titles you came across in the past week, though!

It's tough, I will admit. I thought the bestiary looked pretty cool; I liked the concept.

It's the penultimate News Roundup for March, and before we start I'd like to apologize to Old School Epics. They had reached out to me on Reddit a month or so back asking me to mention their new audio story series on YouTube. I responded that I didn't normally promote this sort of thing, but...

Welcome to the third OSR News Roundup of March. This is the week that GaryCon kicks off, so people are plenty busy getting ready for that. The big news this week is the currently funding Shadowdark Kickstarter, shattering stretch goals with their Western Reaches campaign, an exciting setting and...

Ironically, I'm about a month away from launching my psionics book for Old School Essentials. I've tweaked standard psionics rules to eliminate the need for psionic points, and have a secondary system based on The Book of Nine Swords that is psionically powered.

Welcome to the second news roundup of March. My apologies to subscribers; I realized belatedly that I neglected to send out the newsletter last Monday. I had an immensely naughty word day and it just got away from me. I'm getting excited about the upcoming crowdfunding project I'll be launching in...

Been awhile since I posted an update. I've just launched a Kickstarter for Issue 44 of Populated Hexes Monthly. This issue introduces the kingdom of Negrorn, a domain of the dead ruled over by seven lich-lords, as well as rules for advancing your character beyond the standard level limits...

ZineMonth is officially over, although there are still projects running that started late in February. I hope everyone who participated by launching a project had a fun time and were successful meeting their funding goals, and I hope everyone else saw (and backed) some fun and interesting...

Also, FWIW, the author has a habit of liking and retweeting posts by problematic creators or those associated with conservative or alt-right views: the author of ACKS, RPGPundit (who he just conducted an interview with), the Basic Expert (who was the one who made the Elon Musk tweet), Melan, The...

Zak S won a bunch of Ennies as well. That's not proof that someone isn't a problematic person, and doesn't mean that we can't have a discussion of the problematic elements in their work.

There's a thread here that discusses Gods of the Forbidden North, including a lot of the . . . problematic elements it contains: OSR - Does anybody know anything about this OSR adventure: Gods of the Forbidden North?

Welcome to the last news Roundup in February. While the month is almost over, ZineMonth is not, as many of the projects that are launched during this time extend into March. Sabre has added a "Daily Deal" feature, with each day giving one product we've got in stock a significant discount. We'll...

Yeah, no kidding. Talk about fantasy.

Both members of the former collective, Zedeck and Mun Kao, are still producing some of the most interesting stuff in the OSR/NSR field.

It's the third week in February and ZineMonth is still going strong. There are a fair number of projects to go over this week, so let's jump right in. I'm a big fan of Inkwell Ideas and all of their hex and mapping products, so I was excited to learn that Joe is raising funds for a...

I would recommend the following: *Halls of Arden Vul. *Reach of the Roach God/Thousand Thousand Islands *I've been really impressed by The Shrike, by Joel Hines *Oz/Wonderland/Neverland by Andrew Kolb *The Nod hexcrawl series by John Stater

I'm currently running a Backerkit campaign for an offset reprint of Volume 1 of the Advanced BX Bestiary. This volume takes monsters A-D from the OSE Classic book and expands on them with optional rules and variants based on the theme. It includes 100 new monsters (including some updated from...
