I'm a big fan of Kolb's pointcrawl, and LCoO seems to scratch much the same itch. The illustrations seem pretty true to the source material, and I do like that it is a bespoke system.

It's the last month of 2024, and I hope that everyone in the US had a relaxing Thanksgiving. I'm going to mention again next year's upcoming ZineMonth. If you'll be participating I'd love to interview you about your project and promote your work, so please reach out to me (thirdkingdomgames at...

Welcome to the last Roundup of November, and in the States the one before the Thanksgiving break and the consumer chaos that is the weekend after. There's not a ton of new releases that I found this week, which is likely due to the impending holiday season and the general level of busyness...

Cool. I'm curious to hear about your experience. One thing I really like so far about BK is the ability to have hidden pledge levels, so I can offer discounts to patreons.

Have y'all looked at switching over the Backerkit at all? I've run a bunch of KS projects and noticed the same thing you did. I just launched my second Backerkit campaign, and it's for book three of a yearly series. I funded the previous two on Kickstarter, and they both hit pretty similar...

Welcome to the third Roundup for November. Releases are a little light this week, no doubt due in part to the impending holiday rush/busyness. There are plenty of one-page systems out there, and now there's Forest Burial, a solo rpg designed to be printed out and stored in a chewing gum case...

Welcome to the second Roundup of November. Let's jump right in, shall we. This week seems a bit lighter than recent weeks. DURF is a fun little system, and DURF Me to the Moon is a recent entry into the DURF adventure game. It's meant to be a quick one-shot playable in a couple of hours, and...

Welcome to the first Roundup for November, 2024, and closing in on the last of this year. Like I mentioned in last week's Roundup, that means a number of y'all will be getting ready for the annual ZineMonth event, and like I've done in previous years I'd like to promote your project, whether...

It's the last Monday in October, and that means there are just two months left in 2024. What this also means is the ZineMonth is just around to corner. I will be doing the interview series I have done for the past (three now, I think?) years, highlighting zine creators and their projects, and...

Funding is wrapping up on a book compiling many (but not all) of the classes I've written for OSE. BX Advanced -- Player Options for Old School Gaming

Welcome to the News Roundup for the third week in October. I don't know about you, but it sure feels like to me that the weeks are flying by, and before long we're going to be into 2025. I'd mentioned the GoFundMe for Howard Andrew Jones, fantasy author and gamer, and I'd like to mention it...

I'd like to start off this issue of the Roundup letting everyone know that Sabre is planning a gaming convention next summer to celebrate our birthday. Right now we're looking at SabreCon2025 to occur the weekend of the 4th of July, July 4th-6th, in downtown Charlottesville. We'll be parterning...

It's October, and here in Central Virginia it has finally stopped raining and it feels like fall is here, bringing along with it Halloween. Along those lines, another Todd is hosting a Headless Halloween Game Jam on itch. There are some nice prizes for those who participate. It felt like...

I may have been watching Avatar when I came up with them. I've been enjoying creating the -folk.

I've just launched a Backerkit project for a compiled 320+ page of supplemental material for Old School Essentials and other OSR-style games, including a bunch of new classes, spells, a simplified skill system, rules of researching spells, crafting magical items, and founding temples, expanding...

Welcome to the News Roundup for September 30th, the last day (and Monday) of the month. We've had nothing but rain here for the last two weeks, it seems, and I hope that everyone reading this in North Carolina is safe. I'm sure long-time readers may be aware that one of my goals with this...
