SabreCon2024 is officially over, and it was both tiring and a lot of fun. It is perhaps good that the last week was light on new releases. No doubt the long holiday weekend in the US had a lot to do with it. Anyway, it'll be a short Roundup this week.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I've been listening to Dimension 20s new game, Never Stop Blowing Up, based on action movies, and so it seems to be perfect timing that I see <a href="https://willphillips.itch.io/bravado-bombast-brains-bullets" target="_blank">Bravado, Bombast, Brains + Bullets</a> is live on itch. It's a rules-lite homage to cheesy 90s action flicks.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/product-page/nuked" target="_blank">Nuked!</a> is a clever little post-apoc rpg, and the author has released the first two supplementary zines for it that are available on itch: the Totally Radical Tales Volumes <a href="https://harshrealmpress.itch.io/totally-radical-tales-1-the-lost-valley-of-the-humanitarians" target="_blank">One </a>and <a href="https://harshrealmpress.itch.io/totally-radical-tales-2-the-skrappers-handbook" target="_blank">Two</a>. Volume 1 is an adventure, while Volume 2 is a rules supplemen and expansion.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We're currently out of stock of Barkeep on the Borderlands, but a little itch adventure caught my fancy when I saw that it was inspired by the music of John Fahey. <a href="https://giantrobottackler.itch.io/the-outer-reaches" target="_blank">The Outer Reaches </a>was a submission to the recent Barkeep jam on itch, and details a setting to use for that system.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/478704/occluded-keep-of-the-doomed-elementalist?affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Occluded Keep of the Doomed Elementalist</a> is a new adventure by YouCanBreatheNow Games, and it has gotten praise from the excellent Between Two Cairns podcast. It's written for broad OSR-play, and is designed for adventurers of 3-4 level.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Prolific author Philip Reed has released The Many Eyes of the Tyrant, a system-neutral supplement for customizing the already terrible eye tyrant. It's primarily written with 5e in mind, but Reed is no strange to old-school gaming, and wrote this specifically to be used in older games, as well.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/486580/the-harvest-of-horror?affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">The Harvest of Horror</a> is written for DCC and starts off with a mysterious meteorite landing in a farmer's field, one of my favorite plot hooks to throw at characters.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm not familiar with Bee Excellent Games, but they've just released a 0-level adventure for Shadowdark entitled <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/486374/tower-of-the-missing-mage?affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Tower of the Missing Mage</a>. The premise is that a local wizard was defeated in a magical rivalry, and their tower is now open for plunder. Even if you don't run it as such, I think it sounds like a good resource for adding a mage's tower to your setting.</li> </ul>We've added a bunch of new titles to the Sabre website, including:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I played my first game of Battletech about a month ago after a thirty-year hiatus and was surprised and thrilled to learn that the rules really haven't changed that much. Anyway, we've started to carry <a href="https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/search?q=single+minis" target="_blank">individual Battletech minis</a> in addition to the larger force packs, so if you're looking for a specific mech or two to round out your lance you don't need to buy an entire box.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We've restocked the <a href="https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/product-page/old-school-essentials-classic-fantasy-rules-tome" target="_blank">OSR Classic Rules Tome</a>, <a href="https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/product-page/old-school-essentials-advanced-fantasy-player-s-tome" target="_blank">Advanced Player's Tome</a>, and <a href="https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/product-page/mausritter" target="_blank">Mausritter</a>,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Populated Hexes Monthly Issue 35 is now in stock in both <a href="https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/product-page/populated-hexes-monthly-issue-35" target="_blank">print</a> and <a href="https://www.thirdkingdomgames.com/product-page/populated-hexes-monthly-issue35" target="_blank">pdf</a>. This 44-page issue takes a look at the first level of the dungeon underneath Dry Gulch and expands on the city encounter tables found in Issue 34.</li> </ul></blockquote>
