I'm glad to hear that. One of my main goals has been to help promote the work of smaller, lesser known publishers.

Welcome to the first News Roundup for December, the last month in the year. I hope all of the USians reading this had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving.
We, like pretty much everyone else in the world who runs an online business, are having a Cyber Monday sale. If you use the code CyberSabre at checkout on Monday (today), you can get 20% off everything in your cart.
Releases are a bit thin last week, I think because they were split between PAX U, Thanksgiving, and Dragonmeet in the UK, but let's jump in and see what dropped, shall we? Just as a note, this Roundup tries to focus specifically on new releases and products, and not on sales or promotions. If you're running a sale on existing, already released products, feel free to drop a link in the comments.

- The big news of last week was the release of the revised Labyrinth Lord. It's a system that is near and dear to my heart, as it was the first BX clone I played after getting back into gaming, but it's since been eclipsed by newer, shinier system. I was excited when Daniel Proctor announced this new edition, and then it just kind of lingered. But, it's out now, and I'm really excited to check it out to see how it compares to the original as well as the wealth of BX-like clones out there now.
- Matt Kelly has just released Firearms for Cairn, a short supplement that does what it promises.
- Nearer My God to Thee is a cool-looking solo journaling game about the return of one's god and the refusal of destiny.
- Necrotic Gnome has released Carcass Crawler #6 as well as their second in the Quick Delve series: the Grotesque's Grotto, by Amelia Luke.
- Hellwinter Forge of Wonders has been releasing some solid adventures for Old School Essentials, and they've just released Bestiary of the Empire, a bestiary and travel guide for their setting.
- It's been awhile since I've seen any new releases by Atelier Clandestin, so I was excited to see The Book of Thieves: Procedural Burglaries. It's considerably longer than their other releases, at 112 pages, and provides rules, guidelines, and inspiration for everything thief-y, including support for solo play, so you can plan and run your own capers.
- Carousing Options - Romance expands on the Shadowdark carousing tables to add long-term romances into the mix.
- I've been a big fan of YouCanBreatheNowGames stock art, and so I was thrilled to see they've added some new sheets to to their inventory. This one is a selection of dungeon entrances.
- We've added A Haunting in Glass to our Sabre inventory. I'm really excited when we get to do something like this: I had mentioned this book a few months back when it was being crowdfunded, and the author (who has some Charlottesville connections) reached out recently to let me know they would be in town this weekend and would we like to carry the book. It's a horror adventure written for Shadowdark for a party of level 3-5. It always makes me happy when we can support small press or first-time publishers in a way like this.
