As I write this we're staring down the barrel of a winter storm that is promising to dump a bunch of snow on this tonight and tomorrow; hopefully I'll be able to post this before that hits. Last week's releases were pretty light, so let's take a look and see what they're like this week.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'd somehow missed Justin Sirois's (of Severed Books) <a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/justin-sirois/osr-booster" target="_blank">OSR Booster Zine</a> project of Backerkit (in my defense, I'm still getting used to looking for projects on BK), and it's only got a day or so left as of this release. It's written as a general OSR/Mork Borg release, and is a hefty 56-page zine with d20 armor and weapons. As with all of Justin's releases you can expect top-notch production values and a fast turnaround to fulfillment.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thanks to a reader for pointing out (that's not an email I check much anymore, btw) that there's a <a href="https://itch.io/jam/cloud-empress-winter-jam" target="_blank">Cloud Empress itch jam</a> starting today (the 5th). Apropros for the season, it's a winter jam, so is themed around winter in the setting.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The other Todd has released <a href="https://hexedpress.itch.io/of-wood-and-wold" target="_blank">Of Wood and Wold</a>, a hexcrawl guide for Shadowdark, which introduces rules for hexcrawling as well as creating the locations.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://dicegoblingames.itch.io/big-bang-volcano-lair" target="_blank">Big Bang</a> is a pretty cool looking scenario designed for a variety of spy/thriller games.

It's an adventure scenario that revolves around a bandit chief that has been released from prison; is he responsible for the renewed bandit attacks on Whitesparrow Village?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Richard Kelly has released the charming and impressively long <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/507411/radish-knights?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Radish Knights</a>, an rpg where you play animate vegetables.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Tabletop Engineer has released <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/507095/delver-magazine-issue-16-osr-ose-resource?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Issue 16 of their Delver</a> zine series.
