OSR News Roundup for September 9th, 2024

Writer: thirdkingdomgamesthirdkingdomgames

Welcome to the News Roundup for the second week in September. It's been another slow week for releases, but there are some goodies in here!

  • Odds & Ents has released TTRPG Digital Notebook Pages, a collection of fourteen player-facing pages designed for the players who maybe aren't the best notetakers. They're printable, but are also form-fillable pdfs, which I really like. It is formatted for D&D, but the creator intends to create more for other systems.

  • The Land of Calyx, Vol. 1, is a 58-page zine/gazetteer for the author's setting. It's crammed with a bunch of stuff, including player options, an adventure, but mostly I figured folks might find this interesting because it devotes a lot of space to the city of Calyx, and well described cities are always a great resource for games.

  • Francisco Lemos has released The Crypt of Crimson Ice, a gorgeous one-page dungeon. It's available in several different rules systems, including Cairn, Mork/Pirate Borg, and system neutral.

  • Sam Seer has released a one-page calendar tracking sheet. I'm pretty boring when it comes to gaming calendars, but I do like including them. One of the nice things about this sheet is that the creator includes the Affinity file to make it easy to edit and hack.

  • Sad Fishe Games has been putting out Junk Drive, a semi-regular zine for CY_Borg, and they've just released Issue 4, which updates and expands the weapons and equipment tables from the core rules.

  • Zed and Two Noughts is a 0-level funnel for Old School Essentials, and looks like it is a weird, fun romp through a deadly adventure filled with cosmic horrors.

  • The same publisher has also released Tangled (this has been on my radar for awhile), another 0-level funnel. This one has much more of a dark fairy-tale theme and absolutely amazing pixel art.

  • Speaking of amazing art, Emiel Boven has released the Electrum Archive Volumes 1 and 2. It's a science-fantasy setting along the lines of Vaults of Vaarn and the Ultraviolet Grasslands, and I was super excited to get my print copies at the end of last week.

  • The Pit of Blasphemy is a 56-page adventure/mini-setting for Mork Borg, and in addition to all the content of the books it also comes with a 12 track album with original music to get you in the mood to play.

  • I saw this pop up in my social feeds and wanted to promote it, as I once did something similar with the introductory dungeon from the Mentzer Basic set. A Sample Dungeon takes the map from the AD&D 1e book and fills it out.

  • Populated Hexes Monthly Issue 37 is now live, on Drivethru in print and pdf and on my website in offset print.

  • The prelaunch page for my upcoming Kickstarter is live. I'll be raising funds to print a 2025 Wilderness Hex-a-Day style calendar, with an accompanying hex workbook with a page per hex.
