Welcome to the OSR News Roundup for July 13th, 2026. Ennie voting is in full swing, with a number of titles in the OSR-sphere in consideration. You can cast your vote here. I'd mentioned it back in June, but wanted to remind folks that the Appendix N jam is now live on itch, running through August 1st. It was an amazing success last year, and it looks like this year is going to produce the same quality of projects. You can check it out or follow it here. Otherwise, it's a bit of a slow week; I think the Appendix N jam, summer vacations, and the approach of GenCon have grabbed people's focus for the time being, but we'll take a look at what I was able to dig up!
It released on last Monday, but I wanted to be sure to plug Mork Org, a game of capitalist horror using the Mork Borg engine.
Barrow of the Five Kings is an adventure for Dolmenwood by Dougal Cochrane, written for characters of level 3-4.
Limithron, the publisher of Pirate Borg, is Kickstarting a collection of over 100 dry erase maps for use with PB or other nautical adventures.
Sabre is proud to be the US distributor for Forbidden Psalms, and Will is currently crowdfunding an FP expansion called From the Depths Below that brings miniature wargaming to the Pirate Borg universe.
Sickest Witch, by Severed Books, was just nominated for several Ennies, and is currently running a crowdfunding campaign for Sickest Wretch, a non-witch class for the game. Sabre has just added Sickest Witch to our inventory.
The big news for Sabre is that we've started to distribute the work of By Odin's Beard in the US. Colin is the publisher of We Deal in Lead, Runecairn and Wardensaga, and the recently released Midnight of the Century. If you're in the US and order from his webstore we'll be shipping it out to you, or you can order from us directly.
I'm running a Kickstarter for Issue 58 of Populated Hexes Monthly. This issue dives into the Mythos, examing the northern end of the Plateau of Leng and a haunted forest hex containing a statue of the Great Old One Chaugnar Faugn. Includes stats for a number of mythos-related beings, plus rules for adding mythos-themed ritual spells to your OSR game.
