I just published a print interview I conducted with Paolo Greco, author of The Book of Gaub and the recently released Wulfwald. Meet the Publisher: Paolo Greco

May and the first part of June were pretty slow with new releases, but the pace picked up last week and looks to continue at the same pace this week. Maybe the heat wave gripping the eastern US is keeping folks inside and writing? I'm not familiar with S. Murphy's work: they wrote a...

The pre-order store for the BX Advanced Bestiary, Vol. 2, is now live. I've never done a pre-order store on Backerkit, so I hope I've done it properly. The pdf is out right now, with print versions coming in about a month. By ordering through the pre-order store you can get all of the items at...

Welcome to the third Roundup in June. I mentioned a few weeks back that we're having a little mini convention at Sabre from July 4th - 7th in celebration of our one year anniverary of being in business: I've posted a schedule to our blog with our events. If you're going to be in the area during...

Glad to hear. We should be getting copies of BtP in stock anyday now, along with Wulfwald.

Lots of stuff happened last week, including North Texas RPGcon, one of the pre-emininent conventions focusing on OSR-style gaming. One of these days I'll get a chance to make it to a convention. As the author of this series I allow myself to take the liberty of promoting certain products: this...

It's the first Monday in June. This year is just flying by. I'd mentioned Evlyn Moreau's new release, The Choir, a few weeks ago. I'm pleased to annouce that Sabre Games is currently the sole US distributor for the print version of the game, and Ratti Incantati is the Canadian distributor...

It's the last Monday in May, and in the States it is also Memorial Day. There are a number of interesting and cool-looking projects coming up on Kickstarter, and I'll be covering those when they go live. Until then, here's what I found from last week. Not a new game, but one that is new to me...

I've done a bunch of conversions from later editions in OSE, including bard, monk, binder, um, quite a lot, actually. Warlock, sorcerer, hexblade, etc.

May's a busy time of the year for us, between multiple family birthdays and getting ready for the end of the school year. I wasn't sure if I was going to have time to put out today's Roundup, but was able to put together a short review of last week's releases; there honestly weren't as many new...

Every player has a primary PC and several retainers. When a retainer is with the primary PC they are essentially NPCs; they make morale checks, etc. However, when the party splits to do different things the players control their retainers as PCs. I wouldn't consider it to be "resource...

I do. I tend to run hexcrawl sandboxes with each player controlling multiple tiers of retainers. Since, in the style sandbox I tend to run, nothing is geared towards a particular level, there are some dungeons that are for lower levels, and the lower level retainers clear those while the higher...

This is likely to be a somewhat short edition of the Roundup. I caught whatever current variant of the flu is making the rounds of the east coast, and it knocked me out Friday and Saturday. I'll do what I can to post some of last week's releases, however. Well, I lied. There's a fair amount of...

Welcome to the first news roundup in May. This year is just flying past. I'm not familiar with the work of nealyboy, but I see they've released a one-page rpg called Gune on itch. In this game you can ride a giant sandworm, have knife fights, and, as the author points out, buy a used van...

We're doing some spring cleaning at Sabre Games to get ready for some new inventory, and all zines will 35% off through the end of May with the code Spring24 at checkout. Products | Third Kingdom Games This includes a bunch of stuff written for OSE.

Sure!

It's the last Monday in April and time for another Roundup. Last week I had the privilege of interviewing gaming journalist Lin Codega. They talked about their new project, Rascal News, the state of the gaming industry, AI, and more. You can find the interview here. This issue seems a little...

Welcome to the third Roundup in April. Last week I'd mentioend the new Seas of Sand setting/adventure coming out, and a reader pointed out Xeric Sands, a desert depthcrawl in the same vein as Emmy Allen's Garden's of Ynn and Stygian Library. Xeric Sands is by Andy Murrilo, and looks to be...

Populated Hexes Monthly issue 33 is live, finishing out the two-part series on creating and adding artifacts and relics to your OSE or OSR-style game. This issue is a chonky boi, coming in at 56 pages in A5 format, but the pdf is available for a 2.00 pledge and an offset, physical zine for 6.00...
