New OSR Products at RPGNow/DTRPG — March 27th, 2018

DTRPG is still acting screwing for me. No pop up with system information when I hover over a title, previews take me back to the main page.  I dunno if it's me or what, they've never liked my internet.

Looks like the new version of Top Secret is out. I was more a James Bond fan myself

Rules

Castle Oldskull - Sword & Sorcery Volume 1 -  Looks like he's decided to make his own rules. $4.99 and 345 pages (though probably 150 normal sized pages)

The Last Candle Review — A French flavored Keep on the Borderlands

 The Last Candle from Chubby Funster is part mini-setting, part dungeon. Unlike most such things that have something of a generic but vaguely English medieval/fantasy theme, this one has a French flavor, reminding me of Clark Ashton Smith's Averoigne (which of course was used for X2 Castle Amber) and C.L. Moore's Jirel of Joiry.

Essentially though, you get a brief sketch of the region and a somewhat more detailed look at a priory (basically an abbey or monastery), the "last candle" of the module's title, as it's the last bastion of a psuedo-Christian like faith. This place is apparently meant to be the home base for the characters while they explore/loot the local dungeon (described in the last part of the module), the Eagle's Eye. Then there are several pages of adventure hooks and wilderness encounters

New OSR Titles at RPGNow/DTRPG — March 20th, 2018

Either a slow week or DTRPG is acting nutso. Not much stuff period

Adventures

The Gardens of Ynn -  A "point crawl" involving a weird garden. Basically LofFP style artsy gibberish - random table and such, not a keyed adventure or anything. Still, at $3 and 79 pages, it's not particularly expensive gibberish.

Misc

Friday Enhanced Map 3-16-18 -  Half castle, half cave. $1

RPGPundit Presents 24: History and Rule of the Clerica Order - Speaking of gibberish. 19 pages, $2.99

New OSR Titles at RPGNow/DTRPG — March 13th, 2018

Looks like the new version of TORG is out. I remember buying the original boxed set back in the day, but the game seemed designed to sell splatbooks, one for each cosm or whatever its called.

Official

The World of Greyhawk (Folio) -  To me, the best part of this was and is the map.  I think it's always been up as PDF, but now has a POD option. Dunno if that's just for the folio or the map.

Adventures

Frostbitten and Mutilated -  More a sourcebook than adventure, for LotFP (kinda obvious from the title) and by Zak S.  144 pages and $12.99

One Page Dungeon Compendium: 2011 - $3, 70 pages

Quests of Doom 4: War of Shadows - This seems to be a sequel to some of the 412 Quest of Dooms 4 adventures, but I'm not sure which ones since they aren't numbered. $7.99 and 36 pages

Saving Sujeira's Soul -  This is a historical adventure set in 1400s Portugal which interests me because my grandmother was Portuguese. 20 pages, $2.98, written for 3e but with conversion notes for OSR

Misc

Friday Enhanced Map 3-9-2018 -  New named for his enhanced version of his friday freebie map. $1

RPGPundit Presents #23: Uncanny Creatures and Objects -  17 pages, $2.99

Print Edition of the 1st Issue of Echoes from Fomalhaut

If you've read Fight On! or other OSR zines, you have probably come across some Fomalhaut adventures by Melan. As Fomalhaut is a star system 25 light years away, that tells you it's a mix of fantasy and Sci-Fi, more the former, a lot like Tekumel.  He does a good job of making it strange, but not stupid or silly

Anyway, he's started a 'zine dedicated to it and the first issue is now available  for $8 + shipping

New OSR Products at DTRPG/RPGNow — March 6th, 2018

DTRPG/RPGNow is having their GM's Sale, lots of stuff 33% off.  Most notably Northwind Adventures,  Beyond the Wall, Bruce Heard , and Expeditious Retreat Press (Advanced Adventures for Osric), Gallant Knight (Mazes & Perils Deluxe)

Adventures

Quests of Doom 4: A Midnight Council of Quail -  I really don't understand this Quest of Doom numbering scheme. Why are they all 4? Why not 4.1, 4.2, 4.3? Or why not put them in one book/PDF instead of charging ridiculous amounts of money for them? 21 pages and $7.99

Quests of Doom 4: God of Ore -  I think his name is Ee. 33 pages, $7.99

Quests of Doom 4: In the Time of Shardfall - This might actually be good since it's by Michael Curtis. Still, $7.99 for 28 pages is out of my price range and it sounds sorta video-gamey (find 5 shards and destroy them, then kill the boss).

Quests of Doom 4: Pictures at an Exhibition -  I will be very disappointed if there's no Tarkus in this. Actually seems to be a real world adventure. $7.99 and 32 pages.

Quests of Doom 4: The Covered Bridge -  4th to 6th level adventure about a specter. 28 pages, $7.99

Rules

Dark Places & Demogorgons: Player Options and GM's Guide -  Add on book for the Strange Things inspired OSR-ish game. 125 pages, PWYW

Misc

RPGPundit Presents #22: 13 Cursed Artifacts - $1.99, 12 pages

GoFundMe for Kellri

If you've visited various OSR/old school D&D/AD&D forums you've probably come across or crossed paths with Kellri. He also put together several netbooks of tables and other random stuff on his blog

Well, apparently he's had a stroke and has started a GoFundMe to help pay for his medical bills and living expenses

He's an odd person, but he's one of us, so if you can spare anything, it would be helpful.
