I hope everyone lucky enough to be going has a great time. The big news from last week, as I'm sure many of you have heard, is that due to pressure from payment processors, themselves under pressure from a small, Australian anti-smut group, itchio has de-indexed, as far as I can tell, all of their games -- both crpg and ttrpg -- labelled NSFW. As is often the case, this has affected a number of LGBTQ-positive products that are deemed NSFW simply because of queer themes and not because of explicit content.If you feel that a small group of people in one country should be able to influence what the rest of the world might want to enjoy, Lin Codega <a href="https://yellat.money/" target="_blank">posted a link</a> to a website outlining concrete actions we can take to put pressure from the other direction.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/530864/a-vampire-in-neraka?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">A Vampire in Neraka </a>is a short adventure for low-level characters, written for OSE. It's almost something of a funnel, or 0-level adventure, and can be used as a stand-alone one-shot, a sidequest, or as part of the author's Neraka series of adventures.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm not going to link to all of them, but the incredibly talented Dyson Logos has added <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/530741/cartography-collection-may-2024?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">a number of their map collections to Drivethrurpg</a>, these from 2024. Dyson is very generous with the licensing of these products, and they're a true resource to indie gamers.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">TLHP Games has released a <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/530739/random-adventure-generator-for-medieval-fantasy?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Random Adventure Generator for Medieval Games</a>, a collection of tables and worksheets to help guide the adventure creation process.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Most of what I've seen released for the Appendix N game jam has been on itch, but I noticed one released on Drivethru: <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/530735/the-astral-ship?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">The Astral Ship</a> is about a fairy astral ship trapped in the mortal world, and warping reality around it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I don't see that much stuff for Dragonbane, which is a shame, 'cause it's a really cool system, and I was excited to see <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/530711/wonderful-one-shots-kobolds-stole-my-babies-dungeon-adventure-for-dragonbane-rpg?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Wonderful One-Shots: Kobolds Stole My Babies</a> up on Drivethru. It's a short adventure designed as a one-shot or a session cleanser.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vasili Kaliman, the author of DNGN and the Xanadu series of zines, has just released an official OSE adventure published under the Necrotic Gnome new line of <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/530085/quick-delve-1-milk?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Quick Delves: Milk</a> is a short adventure designed as a one-shot or sidequest (boy, lot's of those this week!) for characters of levels 2-4.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I really love Teresa Guido's art (I've used her on a number of projects), and I see she's released a packet of ten <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/530562/old-school-10-black-white-fantasy-character-illustrations?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">black and white character</a> illustrations.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://girlsatcomputers.itch.io/floodplains-of-illamoor" target="_blank">Floodplains of Illamoor</a> is a hexcrawl written for Cairn. It's PWYW over on itch, and the layout and art is really charming.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Another submission to the Appendix N jam is <a href="https://explorers.itch.io/invaders-of-atlantis" target="_blank">Invaders of Atlantis</a>. Written for Cairn, it imagines a reverse invasion, where after centuries of Atlanteans attacking surface dwellers, the tables have turned and it's time to invade the underwater kingdom of Atlantis.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Another Appendix N submission is <a href="https://undead-mole.itch.io/raiders-of-the-crystal-keep" target="_blank">Raiders of the Crystal Keep</a>. When a mysterious giant crystal appears in the nearby mountains, does it portend woe or weal?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/trailsandtales/trails-and-tales-the-crypt-of-atan-thu" target="_blank">The Crypt of Atan-Thu</a> is currently raising funds on Kickstarter. It's written for a variety of OSR systems, and is a mid-range adventure featuring an ancient undead necromancer.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">With the new release of Dolmenwood we're likely to see a bunch of 3pp written for the setting/system; the second one I've seen thus far is <a href="https://manu-forti-games.itch.io/the-swallowed-saint" target="_blank">The Swallowed Saint</a>. It brings the characters to a swamp and a forgotten holy shrine that has been subsumed by the muck and mire.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">We're working on clearing out some backstock, and have started to put <a href="https://www.sabregamesandcards.com/products?Category=Zines" target="_blank">together some zine bundles</a>. If you're looking for a great deal on some great zines we've got you covered!</li> </ul></blockquote>
