New OSR Products at DTRPG — May 9th, 2019

Looks like a very busy week, especially with some new Advanced Adventures out, a new game system, Odysseys and Overlords that's not just a S&W hack or umpteenth version of B/X and has a free preview. Though we've got a S&W hack, too, at least this one seems to be for the modern military milieu 

edit: Looks like Odysseys and Overlords is not as original as I thought; After buying the player's guide, it turns out it's a Basic Fantasy RPG hack. Still, that's one of the best games around to base things on.

Official


Polyhedron 46, 47, 48, and 49 -  46 has the Bureaucrat class, 47 a greek themed adventure, while 48 and 49 mostly seem to be ads for AD&D 2e. 99 cents each.

Adventures


Advanced Adventures #41: Forgotten Grottoes of the Sea Lords -  From Keith Sloan, one of the better module writers out there, comes this adventure for levels 6 to 8 about an old pirate's lair. 18 pages, $7

Advanced Adventures #42: Dead in the Water - From someone I've never heard of comes this adventure for 3-5 levels. Doesn't sound like a great premise - you've been shipwrecked.  16 pages, $7

Advanced Adventures #43: The Warrens of Zagash - Another one from Keith Sloan, also for levels 6 to 8, this time set in a dwarven cave comlex. $7, 16 pages.

Cult of the Blue Crab -  Something about smugglers (which I don't think makes much sense in a fantasy setting) and a cult. PWYW and 20 pages.

Spire of the Kobolds -  Lowish level adventure for new OSR setting, Odysseys & Overlords (see below). $1, 9 pages

Rules


Fighting Foolishness 4: Fighting Ideas for OSR Games -  This seems to be ways of making the fighter better, special abilities for them. 43 pages, $2.50

Ghost Ops OSR -  Seems to be a games of modern special forces using OSR rules. 61 pages, $4.99

Odysseys and Overlords: Player's Guide - Looks like a new OSR game with a somewhat gritty setting. The rules seem to be 1e-ish, but with only 5 classes and 4 races (strange races at that). 56 pages, $3.99

Odysseys and Overlords: GM's Guide - Companion book to above, with monsters, treasure and such. 61 pages, $4.99

Misc


Friday Enhanced Map 5-3-19 -  This is pretty fancy looking, looks like it could be a Lovecraftian critter lair or something belonging to a mad wizard. $1
