Welcome to the OSR News Roundup for December 15th, 2025. We're coming towards the end of the year and looking at ZineMonth 2026 starting in February. Kickstarter has launched their open call already, here , and of course there's the community run ZineMonth . . . actually, I'm not sure if they've set up their webpage for 2026 yet. I need to dig into this further. Anywho, here's a selection of last week's releases. It was kind of a slow week for releases. I'm a big fan of James

Welcome to the second News Roundup for December, 2025. Last week was a bit slow on releases, so let's see what this week looks like as we steam towards the end of the year. One development that I'm really pleased about is that Drivethrurpg has now made it mandatory for publishers to indicate if their releases contain any AI assets, as opposed to just an optional disclosure. It should hopefully make my job easier; I'd like to see them ban all content with AI assets, but that's

Welcome to the first News Roundup for December, the last month in the year. I hope all of the USians reading this had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving. We, like pretty much everyone else in the world who runs an online business, are having a Cyber Monday sale . If you use the code CyberSabre at checkout on Monday (today), you can get 20% off everything in your cart. Releases are a bit thin last week, I think because they were split between PAX U, Thanksgiving, and Dragonmeet in

It's the last Monday in November, and we're entering the home stretch to close out 2025. It felt weird missing last week's Roundup, but I just didn't have any energy last weekend to compile it. I'm hoping to do my interview series to promote ZineMonth in 2026, so if you're planning on participating in the event, and have the bandwidth to answer a few softball questions about your project, please reach out and I'll get some questions sent over. If you are participating, and yo

Welcome to the second News Roundup of November, 2025. The big news is that Mausritter Month is upon us, on Backerkit, and there are some really neat projects being funded right now. All of the projects look fantastic, and you should check them out. One of the ones I'm really excited about is the only one (at the time of this writing, at least) that hasn't fully funded: Mechritter is pretty much what it says on the tin, but instead of minis it comes with a selection of mix a

Welcome to the final News Roundup for October. Mothership Month , the Backerkit sponsored Mothership extravaganza, is in full swing. I'm really looking forward to November, when Mausritter Month launches, also through Backerkit. I've seen some really neat projects being promoted for this event. It looks like last week was relatively slow on releases, but I found some that I think are worth taking a look at. Marta's Vineyard of Despair is up on itch. It's a really interestin

It's the penultimate Monday in October, and the winter holiday season is rapidly approaching, along with the end of the year. The big news of this week is Mothership Month is underway, and raising funds for a ton of cool-looking projects on Backerkit. If you're on Bluesky, you've no doubt seen an overwhelming number of posts tagged "over/under", all part of a massive, 1,000+ member strong play by post game Sam Sorenson spearheaded in conjunction with Mothership Month. In a R
