New OSR Products at RPGNow/DTRPG — January 10th, 2017

This is quite a busy week, with a host (make that a horde) of adventures and three Castle Oldskull books. While the name conjures up a geriatric He-Man's retirement home, they seem to comprise almost 1000 pages worth of design material (tables and such).

Official


Chainmail: Rules of Medieval Miniatures -  The book that started it all. $4.99 and 44 pages.

Children of the Night: The Created -  Ravenloft sourcebook about Frankenstein's monster style monsters. 98 pages, $4.99

Dead Gods - Two adventures based on corpses of gods floating in Astral Space. Planescape has a lot of ideas ruined by chimney sweep slang.  176 pages and $9.99

The Jade Hare -  This is a pretty crappy basic adventure but was once one of the biggest (and still may be) collectibles around. $1.99 and 8 pages.

Adventures


Castle Oldskull: City State Encounters -  This might be more of a random table book, hard to tell from the sample. At any rate, it's huge at 150 pages and only $2.99

Shattered Moon: Blood Hook Climb - Seems to be an adventure setting for a retro clone that I seem to have missed, Sharp Swords and Sinister Spells. PWYW and 16 pages.

The Complete Roslof Keep Campaign -  Contains the Folio adventures 1-6, plus all the mini-adventures (1 to 6 that is) below.  136 pages, $24.99

The Folio #1.5: Welcome to House Aldener -  The first half-dozen of so Folio modules detail a competitive mini-dungeon where adventuring companies explore. This seems to detail an admissions test (ie, mini-adventure) for the PCs to join one such company. 8 pages, $1.99. Duel statted for 1e.

The Folio #2.5: Test of the Tower - Like above, but for a wizard's group. 8 pages, $1.99

The Folio #3.5: Dire Run to House Fleetwood - Apparently Stevie Nicks has turned a village into zombies. 8 pages, $1.99

The Follio #4.5: Hammers Fall in Anarchy - Mini-dungeon in the main dungeon. 8 pages, $1.99

The Folio #5.5 The Mithel Company Champion -  Sidequst for Folio #5 (which I think is when I stopped buying them), part of the Rosloff Keep series. $1.99 8 pages. Dual statted including 1e

The Folio #6.5 - Seems like a sidequest for Folio #6, part of the Rosloff Keep Dungeon. . $1.99 and 8 pages.

The Folio #8.5: Ratmen of the Dead Oak -  I think they used to open for the Dead Kennedys. Mini-adeventure sidequest for the Folio #8. $1.99 and 8 pages.

The Folio #9.5: Gang War -  Mini side quest for the Folio #9. 8 pages, $1.99

The Folio #10.5: The Creche of Set -  Mini side quest for the Folio #10. 8 pages, $1.99

The Folio #10: DF3  Explore  Lost Temple of Tefnut. 32 pages, $5.99 

The Folio #11: AT1 -  Hmm, no catchy name here for what appears to be the start of a new trilogy of adventures set in a city named Taux, which alas is not full of penguins, but seems to be full of thieves.  36 pages and $5.99

The Folio Digital Quarter #1 - Because apparently they hadn't released enough products this week, this seems to be some sort of more modern (steampunk-ish, anyway) adventure set in the future of the world of all their previous titles.  $4.99 and 28 pages.

The Grapeshot Express -  "Absurdist" adventure or so the blurb claims. 30 pages, $4.

The Phoenix Barony -  More adventure setting than adventure. $1 and 26 pages.

The Irminsul of Aphrodite-Ammunt - Into the Deep Forest. Adventure for Labyrinth Lord set around a sacred tree and its forest.  $2.00 and 11 pages.

Rules


None.

Misc


Black Pudding #2 -  The second issue of J.V. West's OSR fanzine seems to be a grab bag of stuff, new classes, adventures, npcs, magic items and more. PWYW and 24 pages.

Castle OldSkull: Classic Dungeon Guide -  Seems to be adventure seeds, tables, and advice rolled up into one giant product. 320 pages and $4.99

Castle Oldskull: Game World Generator - Like above, but for a whole game world. 330 pages, and $4.99.

Friday Freebie Enhanced Map 01-06-17 -  "Enhanced" version of a dungeon map by Tim Hartim. Looks like an underground temple and toomb. $1

Wizard's Tower Generator -  At 13 pages, doesn't seem very comprehensive. $2.99

  1. Hey Jeremy, Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells is not exactly a retroclone. It's a rules light sword & sorcery RPG with strong Old School roots and influences.
