OSR News Roundup for March 16th, 2026

Welcome to the third News Roundup for March, 2026. Let's jump right in and check out the most recent releases!

• Utku has released Scalemail, a mass combat system for BX that has been released under the Creative Commons license. The release is currently in early beta.

• David Blandy is a publisherI really admire, and he's just released The Knight Errant: Expanded Edition, written by IsaacisAfraid. It's a sci-fantasy adventure designed to be run with any Mark of the Odd genre of games (Into the Odd, Cairn, Eco Mofos, etc.), inspired by the weird fiction of Clark Ashton Smith, Moorcock, and others.

• Little Ghost Town, by gingerino42, is a forest point-crawl for use with Cairn, based on a real-life short hike near the author's home.

• Written for Shadowdark, Holy Tinder is a 1st level adventure, in which the PCs must try and save their town from the clutches of an evil priestess.

• I haven't officially announced it yet, but Sabre will be the new US fulfillment partner for Forbidden Psalms, the Mork Borg adjacent miniature skirmish game. They're currently crowdfunding for Legitimate Salvage, a sci-fi version of the game.

• I think I missed plugging this: Hard Wired Island is probably my favorite entry in the cyberpunk genre, and the publishers are currently running a Kickstarter for Second Gig, the first full-length supplement for HWI.

• There's only a short amount of time left to back Twilight Riders, a charmingly low-tech game of weird west roleplaying.

• Flatland Games is perhaps best known for publishing Beyond the Wall, but they've just released Through Sunken Lands: Of Glory and Peril, a supplement for TSL.

• I was intrigued to see the Pressure Quickstart up on Drivethru. It's an upcoming system dealing with rising pressure and danger and the cost of slowing down. It's a free download, and the art is very evocative.

• Colin Le Sueur, of We Deal in Lead and Runecairn, has just released Midnight of the Century, an rpg inspired by thriller and serial killer media from the 90s.

• The Curse of the Dwarven Tomb is a new adventure for Shadowdark, a short delve into, well, a dwarven tomb, written for a party of 4th level characters.

• Haus of Tombs has released The Lighthouse, one of their adventure locations designed to be used in a plug and play nature.

• There's still a lot of interest in solo gaming, and the new release Sunless Wood is designed as a system neutral, introductory adventure to solo gaming.

• Shanklimb has released The Lonely Home of Thin and Bone, a short adventure for mid-level Dolmenwood PCs.

• Ever & Anon Issue 9 is out. This free magazine (it's too long to be just a zine) is the spiritual successor to Alarums and Excursions.

• Lastly, I'm excited to see that the Pirate Borg starter set is now out in pdf, as is the adventure Down Among the Dead.
