OSR News Roundup for April 20th, 2026

Welcome to the third news Roundup in April. It's a dry, dry month here, with temperatures way above normal, perfect for hanging out indoors and checking out some new games!

• I don't know how I missed this, but Johan Nohr, the driving force behind Mork Borg, is raising funds for Fomoria, their game of folk horror. The campaign is well and funded, and is almost over at the time this goes live, but I wanted to make sure to get a mention of it in.

• Simon Taylor is raising funds for The Cohort, an adventure for Mothership where the PCs are tasked with tracking down missing corporate employees.

• Another Mothership adventure currently funding is Red Shift, an adventure where the earth's first colony ship has just been found, drifting through empty space, three centuries after it left the solar system.

• The Mimic's Vault has just released Tarotweaver, a tarot-powered game inspired by Cairn, His Majesty the Worm, Over the Garden Wall, and more.

• Mac, of Mac's Makes Games, has just released Under an Atomic Sky, a campaign hexcrawl for their NUKED! post-apocalyptic setting.

• When the Shimmer Fades is a free adventure for Shadowdark. Themed around corruption and loss of faith, it's an adventure for character levels 2-4, set in a town where greed led to sacrilege.

• Agamemnon Press has released their long-awaited (by me, at least!) Empire of Bones supplement in pdf on Drivethru. It's written for their fantastic Painted Wastelands setting, and looks at a city ruled by necromancers. The art is stunning.

• Tales from the Locker, Issue 1, is the inaugural volume of what is planned to be a regular fanzine for Pirate Borg.

• The prolific and talented Games Omnivorous has released The Flying Lootsman, an adventure for FLAIL!, in which a pirate with a flying ship is terrorizing the land, and it is up to the PCs to stop them and possibly claim the ship as their own.

• Barrel Rider Games has released White Box: Dungeon Adventures, a sort of starter set for their line of White Box retroclones.

• Mean Gits & Flashy Bitz is a supplement for Orc Borg that includes more classes, random tables, and guns. It does pretty much what you think it does.

• Another in the ever-growing list of Borg hacks is Shark Borg: Bloodwater Preview, a PWYW introduction to the game. I'm not exactly clear what the game does, just that it has a lot of sharks in it, which is never a bad thing.

• It's been awhile since I've seen anything by False Machine, but they've just released Gackling Moon, a gazetteer of sorts, written for the Gackling Moon setting.

• David Okum has released Star Borg: Dreadfire Sector, a look at a region in space written for Star Borg, with a setting introduction, new classes, races, and a mini-adventure.

• Depthwalker, an Enemy for Mork Borg, does pretty much what is says on the tin, presents a one-page, PWYW enemy (an animate old-timey diving suit) for Mork Borg encounters.

• Written for Ad Astra and CY_BORG, EUPNEUS is a setting/adventure/campaign set in the depths of space, and includes a tone of material.

• Almost exactly three years after I funded the original print run of the Into the Wild Omnibus I've started up a new Kickstarter to fund a reprint, as I'm now down to my last dozen or so copies. The Omnibus combines A Guide to Thieves' Guilds, Filling in the Blanks, and Into the Wild into a single book, and is all ready to be sent to the printers as soon as the campaign ends.

• I'm pleased to announce the Sabre is now fulfilling the US orders for Forbidden Psalms, the minis game based off of Mork Borg. You can purchase directly from the Forbidden Psalms US webstore, or through Sabre Games and Cards.
