So much fantasy for D&D, Pathfinder, and Swords & Wizardry: an alternate cover Ravenloft, adventures, and a magic item book are all out. Also available is the excellent Soulbound RPG Starter Set that supports both GMs brand new to Soulbound as well as those looking for more world info and GM support. Trudvang Chronicles has a book on dwarves. Finally, one of my favorite RPGs, Never Going Home, has two new supplements available (a third is currently sold out).

SYSTEM: Never Going Home
PRODUCT TYPE: digest-sized softcover supplement
RETAIL PRICE: $20
OTHER RPG NEWS: Played it Review of Never Going Home
DESCRIPTION: Blood on the Snow takes place in 1916. The PCs learn that the Others have always been speaking to us. The PCs join the Russian army as their advance west ends and a long series of retreats begins. In Russia a terrible fear walks the woods and political turmoil shakes the streets. Includes: the Morale Pool, 2 Whisper Paths, The Breath of Father Winter, four monsters, and six connected adventures. Bones in the Dust takes place in 1915. The PCs learn that the problems started long before the Veil was torn. The PCs join the British and ANZAC forces as they attempt to invade the Ottoman Empire at Gallipoli. The PCs meet more than enemy gunfire. Ancient power is stirring and secretive sects are driving events forward. Victory will cost the PCs deeply. Includes: His Majesty’s Paranormal Investigation Task Force, seven Fetishes, The People of the Mountains, one Whisper Path, and six connected adventures I really like Never Going Home as it strikes chords of horror, despair, and loss with me while remaining firmly in the realm of fiction. Really glad to see new supplements.
