Message: <blockquote data-quote="thirdkingdom" data-source="post: 9737525" data-attributes="member: 78442">Welcome to the last News Roundup for August. First, I'd like to apologize to Will, of Inverted Castle Press. I had fully planned on mentioning their release <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/532562/manic-at-the-monastery?affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Manic at the Monastery</a>, but it slipped through the cracks. It's an adventure for characters of levels 1-3, and is statted for both OSE and Worlds without Number, and is their second published adventure, after the excellent Fragments of the Floating City.It looks like last week was a bit slower with new releases than the previous week, but I think I've found some titles that might be of interest to folks.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It seems like it's been awhile since I saw something released for the 24XX line of games, so I was pleasantly surprised to see <a href="https://vanishing-vault.itch.io/24xx-rps" target="_blank">24XX-RPS</a> pop into my feed. It's a version of 24XX that uses Rock-Paper-Scissors instead of dice.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://buchplays.itch.io/more-dungeons-treasures-eng" target="_blank">More Dungeons and Treasures </a>is a collection of short zines for A Deck of Dungeons and Treasures and Mausritter, and the goal is to eventually have nine different micro-settings to play in.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Not a new release, but a remastered one, and a system that gets mentioned here with some regularity: bread wizard has released a remastered version of<a href="https://bread-wiz.itch.io/glowburn-and-radscars" target="_blank"> Glowburn and Radscars</a>, a nice little post-apoc game that mashes up Cairn and Mutant Crawl Classics.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/534394/heretics-grave?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Heretics' Grave</a> is a modular adventure for 3rd level characters written for Swords and Wizardry. It's specifically designed to serve as a bridge between two unconnected areas, or perhaps as a filler in one of those "the dungeon continues on here, but it is unmapped" regions. It's nice seeing some 3pp support for S&W.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm also glad to see some more stuff coming out for Red Borg, the explicitly anti-capitalist hack of Mork Borg (although, I'd argue that most of the Borg line of games are anti-capitalist); this one focused on <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/534188/red-borg-south-america?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">bringing the revolution to South America</a>.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I'm still seeing stuff trickle in from the Appendix N jam; one of the more recent releases is <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/533843/the-howling-blade?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">The Howling Blade</a>, by Suffety Games, in which War, one of the four horseman, is determined to bring about the apocalypse.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As may be obvious, I'm a sucker for lo-budget, do-it-yourself art, and <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/533779/riff-wizards?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Riff Wizards</a> fits that groove totally. It's a rules-lite, story-heavy rpg that bills itself as universal. I haven't had a chance to give it a thorough read-through, but the art is glorious and reminds me of margin doodling in my notebook during 10th grade English.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Been seeing more and more stuff for Dolmenwood: <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/533525/cobbin-a-class-for-dolmenwood?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">Cobbin </a>is a new ancestry for the system, that lets you play as an anthropomorphic animal.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Fantasy Trip is a fascinating little system published by Steve Jackson decades ago that, in some ways, is surprisingly modern, and it's nice to see that there's still support for it. <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/533867/heresy-issue-3?src=newest_recent&affiliate_id=253473" target="_blank">The Heresy zine</a> is an unofficial fanzine, and is currently on Issue 3.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">All Rolled Up Games is raising funds for <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/allrolledup/cork-bord-a-nordic-noir-investigative-role-playing-game" target="_blank">Cork Bord</a>, the Borg-based game of Nordic investigation and mystery. It looks pretty sweet.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rowan, Rook and Decard has been publishing some really groundbreaking games over the past five or so years, and they're currently crowdfunding a supplement for Heart: The City Beneath. Called <a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/rowan-rook-and-decard/ways-means-a-heart-sourcebook" target="_blank">Ways and Means</a>, it expands on Heart with a bunch of new options and rules.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bree-YARC, my take on what 3rd edition D&D would have looked like if it used BX as a springboard, is now available as a Quickstart on <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/534495/bree-yarc-quickstart-rules" target="_blank">Drivethrurpg</a> and the <a href="https://www.sabregamesandcards.com/product-page/bree-yarc-quickstart" target="_blank">Sabre Games website</a>. It's free!</li> </ul></blockquote>
