Message: <blockquote data-quote="thirdkingdom" data-source="post: 9689288" data-attributes="member: 78442">Welcome to the fourth news roundup in June. Last week was a short release, due to travel plans and storms that interfered with my internet connection, so let's see what we can do this week to make up for it, shall we? I have found that the summer months, especially the month and a half leading up to GenCon, tend to be slow for releases.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Matt Kelly has released <a href="https://bymattkelly.itch.io/cities-towns" target="_blank">Cities & Towns</a>, an expansion for Cairn and Into the Odd. It provides urban options for adding to domain-level play in those two games, and looks to be a welcome addition to supplements for fleshing out your campaign.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I had missed this earlier, but there's a <a href="https://itch.io/jam/no-ice-in-california" target="_blank">No ICE in California</a> game jam going on over on itch that will be ending tomorrow. There are over 500 entries, and when it's done the jam will be collated into a bundle, with sale benefits going towards organizations working for immigrant rights.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rat in a Suit has released their first solo play zine: <a href="https://rat-in-a-suit.itch.io/ice-snow-and-the-quest-for-salvation" target="_blank">Ice, Snow, and the Quest for Salvation</a>. Inspired by Shackleton, Scott, and the early days of polar exploration, you take on the role of a ship's crew stuck in ice and forced to disembark and journey overland.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I had mentioned Miasma and Monsters a few weeks back, and the creator reached out to let me know that they've just released the first adventure for it: <a href="https://goblinpitgames.itch.io/sacrifice-at-mount-sampo" target="_blank">Sacrifice at Mount Sampo</a>. It looks really well done, and I'm looking forward to more releases from them.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Solo games have experienced an incredible surge in popularity, and one of the new entries is <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526501/solo-compendium?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Solo Compendium</a>, by Sam Bickley, which is less a system and more a toolkit to help folks play solo games.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pickpocket Press, the publishers of Tales of Argosa, has just released <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526825/adventure-framework-70-lost-roads-of-dol-karok?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Adventure Framework 70: The Lost Roads of Dol-Karok</a>. There's a bunch of material jammed into 34 pages, with two really cool adventure generators. I'm a big fan of ToA, and think the stuff PP is putting out is top notch.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526870/mudbones-compatible-with-shadowdark?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Mudbones </a>is an interesting-looking four page dungeon statted for Shadowdark. It's part of a series of short dungeons by the same author. It's got a pretty broad level range, written for 3-6 PCs of levels 1-4, but I also like that it comes with VTT compatible maps.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The prolific Christian Eichhorn has released <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526680/sinners-a-moerk-borg-supplement?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Sinners</a>, a new zine for Mork Borg. They consistently produce high quality, interesting work, and it's totally worth checking out their newest venture.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526625/the-untitled-runic-manuscript?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">The Untitled Runic Manuscript</a> is a neat looking, system-neutral product that introduces a system of runes and runic magic designed to be plugged into an existing game.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526411/bog-iron?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Bog Iron</a> is a mini-setting for Mork Borg based on Swedish folklore. The art and layout is phenomenal.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Michael Duggan reached out to me at Sabre about carrying <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526360/ligaments?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Ligaments</a>, and I see that it's also available on Drivethrurpg. It's an interesting premise, a game that blends WWI technology with a post-apocalyptic setting.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Outcast Silver Raiders is a beautiful game that we can't seem to keep in stock at Sabre, even though it is a bit grim for my tastes. I saw recently that <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/526693/altar-issue-2-for-outcast-silver-raiders?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Altar, Issue 2</a> is now available, sixty-six pages with three dungeons and a bunch of extra material.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm getting ready to launch <a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/third-kingdom-games/yearly-hexcrawl-workbook?preview_token=J7TDuZVNbSC" target="_blank">Hexapalooza</a>, a crowdfunding campaign with two goals: printing an offset, slightly revised version of Filling in the Blanks (this version is designed to be system neutral) as well as a calendar-agnostic hexcrawl workbook that goes along with it. It's the first time I've done an offset print run of Filling in the Blanks, and I wanted to make it more usable to folks using other systems.</li> </ul></blockquote>
