I don't know if I'd presume to answer for either of them, but while they are both Malaysian they see themselves as creating an alternate, mythical southeast Asia that draws from a lot of sources. I'm not sure how much they're influenced by Polynesia (at least, as I understand the term) instead...

Adrian Barber, who does art/cartography for the gaming stuff I write, just sent me a map he drew of Sabre.

Yes, it was sad. I'm glad to see that they both seem to have landed on their feet and are moving forward with their own projects.

Welcome to the fourth and final OSR News Roundup of March. As I write this, on Sunday, I'm seeing reports trickle in from GaryCon of the wonderful time that everyone had there, and I'm super jealous. Maybe one of these years I'll be able to make the trip. In the meanwhile, I've been occupying...

It is the third Monday in March and we have begun the relentless "march" towards convention season. GaryCon starts at the end of this week, as does PAX East, and my social media feeds have been filled with people heading to a bunch of smaller local cons as well. Let's take a look and see if the...

Let's dive right in and see what's new and exciting, shall we? The folks at Pickpocket Press, publishers of Low Fantasy Gaming, are raising funds for a new project. Tales of Argosa, billed as Low Fantasy Gaming 2e, is designed to both group and solo play, and the project comes with a bunch of...

Nice interview. I'm a big fan of Amanda's work.

It's already March, 2024. ZineMonth is officially over, although there are a number of projects that are still in the funding stages. The big news on this front is that Sabre is now the official US distributor for Leyline Press, creators of the post-apoc 'Mech game Salvage Union, as well as all...

It's not a weird take for creators trying to make a living, I can guarantee you that. I don't know if you've ever tried to sell anything you've made -- whether it be an rpg supplement, a painting, heck, even pies at a farmer's market. I can promise you that every single person who sells the...

I've been really surprised at how well the indie stuff sells. Probably the most popular are the various solo games that have risen in popularity since the pandemic. It helps that we're located just off a pretty "hip" walking mall and get a lot of foot traffic. Plus, with the smaller press games...

I'm uncomfortable criticizing a creator for how they've chosen to price their work. RPG products are priced lower than they should be, to the point where it is near impossible to make a living in the industry. I think there's plenty to criticize Gillespie over without resorting to their...

PHM Issue 32 is now funding on Kickstarter. This issue begins a look at artifacts and relics with Referee-facing rules on creating and using these ultra-powerful magical items into your OSE or similar campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thirdkingdom/populated-hexes-monthly-issue-32

I handle the rpg side of the store, and OSR and indie games are my jamb. Here's our current zine spinner rack.
