[QUOTE="thirdkingdom, post: 9854565, member: 78442"] Welcome to the OSR News Roundup for February 9th, 2026. ZineMonth is in full swing, and I'll be releasing some print interviews over the month promoting various projects. I've also, because apparently I'm not busy enough, decided to start releasing a podcast. The goal is to release short, weekly episodes, with an emphasis on talking about topics in gaming that we're excited about. You can catch the first episode [URL='https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-sev9k-1a3a4e6'][B][U]here[/U][/B][/URL] (link is to podbean, but it should be available on all major podcatchers under the name "Sabre Rattlings"). If you're a creator, with something you'd like to promote, and you'd like to sit for a short interview let me know and we'll try to get a time scheduled. There's a lot going on with projects funding, so in lieu of covering everything I find interesting here (it would be a [I]long[/I] Roundup) you can find various projects at the following locations: [LIST] [*][URL='https://iwanttoplay.games/zinemonth'][B][U]ZiMo 2026 independent page[/U][/B][/URL] [*][URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/tags/zine-quest'][B][U]Kickstarter[/U][/B][/URL] [*][URL='https://www.backerkit.com/c/collections/zinetopia-2026'][B][U]Backerkit[/U][/B][/URL] [/LIST] Let's jump into some of the releases, shall we? [LIST] [*]Matt Kelly has been releasing a number of short, slick supplements designed to expand options for OSR-games, specifically Cairn.

[*][URL='https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/aleksandra-stasica-fedetibaldo/liquid-euphoria-a-cairn-rpg-adventure'][B][U]Liquid Euphoria [/U][/B][/URL]is funding on Backerkit, and is an open-ended adventure for Cairn set in a small village in the official setting for Cairn. [*]Most of the projects for ZiMo are either Backerkit or Kickstarter, but Sivad's Sanctum is using itch to slowfund their project: [URL='https://itch.io/s/179755/itchfunding-the-bastardized-classics-part-deux'][B][U]The Bastardized Classics Redux[/U][/B][/URL]. Their series remixes the early TSR modules and modernizes them, and the itchfunding is for four adventures: two already written and two upcoming, that update S1-S4.
