    OSR OSR News Roundup

    Welcome to the second news roundup in June. We're about a month out from SabreCon2025, the mini convention we're hosting in downtown Charlottesville. If you're in the central Virginia area and would like to check it out we've got tickets available here. Josh McCrowell will be running a game of...

    OSR OSR News Roundup

    Yeah, these days I don't back a crowdfunding project as a retailer unless a) the finished product is ready to go and ship within a couple of months or b) there's an option for an upfront minimal pledge with the ability to do the full purchase when ready to fulfill.

    OSR OSR News Roundup

    I hope that didn't come across as not giving Falk credit! And yeah, in the grand scheme of delayed Kickstarters it's pretty minor. The one that turned me off to backing at the retailer level was the OSE boxset one from a few years back. I had about 1k in that and it was nine or so months late...

    OSR OSR News Roundup

    It's the first week in June and we're chugging right along. Before we dive into the Roundup I'd like to give a shout-out to author Raphael Falk. I don't back much stuff on Kickstarter at the retailer tier anymore; with having a physical store, asking for an up-front lump sum payment for a...

    OSR OSR News Roundup

    We're somehow at the end of May, already, and barreling into summer. It seems like over the last week I've seen a lot more new releases than I have for the past few months, so let's dive right in. First, I somehow missed last week that Colin Le Sueur, author of the excellent We Deal in Lead...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    In this statement, released on February 18th, 2020, they explicitly state "we have no plans to release future Judges Guild titles". I've been in contact with some GG employees since the CSIO news originally broke, in my position as a retailer who carries GG products, and I specifically asked...

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    There may be more tucked away in other categories; I haven't had time to do a thorough search. These three titles were in the "Other Items" category.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    Just FYI, @Morrus there are three JG products visible on the GG wholesale webstore. I took this screenshot about a minute ago.

    OSR OSR News Roundup

    Welcome to the third OSR News Roundup in May. Let's jump right in and see what is new today, shall we? First, I apologize for not mentioning this sooner. Wandering Blades is a wuxia-style game built on an OSR framework, and is a little more than halfway through its campaign. You can checkout...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Rascal just dropped an article on the debacle. Not sure if it is paywalled or not; if it is, please consider buying a subscription to help support ttrpg journalism (I'm not associated with Rascal in any form!)...

    OSR OSR News Roundup

    Yeah, it's one I'm looking forward to. I'm not familiar with the source material, but Gavriel puts out some great stuff.

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Our store is located in Charlottesville, Virginia. We're on the same street, one block up, where, eight years ago, Heather Heyer was run down and murdered by a neo-nazi who was a member of the Unite the Right rally that invaded our city. Two blocks in the other direction is the largest Jewish...

    OSR OSR News Roundup

    Welcome to the News Roundup for May 12th, 2025. As I'm sure many readers are aware, the big news of the past week was Goodman Games announcing they will be running a City State of the Invincible Overlord, having made a licensing deal with Judges Guild, with whom they had pledged to cut ties in...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Maybe it is nitpicky from your point of view, but not everyone feels the same. Two of the business partners in our store are Jewish; they're extremely concerned about this, and I don't blame them. I'd certainly be a lot more forgiving and less suspicious if: a) It didn't require three press...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Yes, both of those titles are available for me to purchase and carry. I can post a screenshot of them in my cart if you would like. I am not sure how I am "correlating obscure bits of evidence". They made a statement on Feb 18th, 2020, stating that both they will not longer be selling Judge's...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    So, in 2020 they posted a statement here, which you can still find on their website. I've copied it below, and bolded certain parts for emphasis. I've attached a screenshot of the current GG webstore (or, rather, the wholesale portal. I'm not sure if these titles are available through them at...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    My concern is they didn't lead with this new statement; instead, they led with "build bridges, not walls". All of the above is excellent, and the right thing to do, but I need to think on Sabre's official position. When we opened the store one of our goals was to create an open and welcoming...
