New OSR Products at DTRPG — October 22nd, 2020

 One of the things I like about fall is that there is always one more "Last Day of Summer" where you have nice warm temperatures and it's nice out. There will be a week or so of cold weather, than 1-2 days of nice warm weather. 

Until there is no more and it's just cold weather.  But it's a nice way to ease into winter.

Tonight was (probably) the last day of Summer. 85 and even now, still 70 outside. But then it comes crashing down tomorrow when the front comes through.


Adventures & Settings

 

First Level Dungeons -  This seems to be a collection of 12 small dungeons in one product, including one written by Steve Kenson, who started off with Shadowrun fan material on GEnie back in the day, and turned pro. 

$4.99 and not sure how many pages, but it's huge, almost 200 megabytes. 

The Crypts of the Aimascurs - Another hex crawl/site based adventure from Third Kingdom Games. $3.95 and 29 pages

Rules

Octhorrorfest! -  Various new horror (sorta) themed stuff for Old School Adventures (B/X) including three new classes. 49 pages and $6  (and as an aside, why is the "company" name Appendix N Entertainment, when it's for B/X which had its own inspiration section, not Appendix N?

Misc

Dungeons in Blue - Just Geomorphs 31 32 and 33 - $3.49 each. I was never a fan of geomorphs, dungeons should make sense.

New OSR Products at DTRPG — October 15th, 2020

 The odd thing about the "new" Blogger interface is that it's not obvious where text goes. The boxes for text are the same color as the rest of the page and there's like no border or anything. Every time I sit down to do this I am bewildered for a minute.


Adventures & Settings

 In the Shadow of the City-God -  From the Hungarian d20 Society (aka Gabor Lux's group) comes this weird fantasy module for 3rd-4th level characters. 32 pages and $6

Trail of the Sea Demon - 3 loosely connected scenarios, this time actually bey Gabor Lux). 32 pages, $6


Rules

Nope

Misc

Friday Enhanced Map 10-9-20 - Looks a bit like a magical glyph. $2

Gregorius Notes on the Weird OSR Fantasy 2019 - Some guys blog, now in PDF form.  $2.50, 22 pages.

New OSR Products at DTRPG — October 8th, 2020

Normally October is my favorite month, because of Halloween, but instead we seem to be in the second month of Christmas season (the first being July)

 

Adventures & Settings

 None, alas

Rules

BaF - The Muse -  Alright! A new character class (been a while), this one for B/X. $1 and 8 pages.

 D2 0 Go -  Says its inspired by older versions of D&D, but it's apparently meant for asynchronous play (Like online, I guess). 247 pages so probably not rules light and $9.50

Eat, Drink, Maybe Die: Fantasy Consumables for OSR Games  - I would dismiss this sort of thing, but it's from Unbalanced Die Games, a very credible and competent publisher. 103 pages and $3.50

SM3 Pumpkin Man for OSR -  These were actually pretty disturbing in the Ogre Battle series of video games. 8 pages and $1.75

 The Bone Age - Not sure how OSR or serious this is, but it's a game of playing cavemen in a world being invaded by aliens. 90 pages, $10

Misc 

Player Journal for OSRIC (and others) - Character sheets, graph paper, hexes, and more. $1 and 32 pages.

New OSR Products at DTRPG — October 1st, 2020

Well, one bit of good news in 2020, the XFL is coming back.

Also apparently, Jeremy Hart, one of my favorite old school style artists (aside from the same first name bias, he's got a nice creepy style) has an Indie Go Go for a monster product. Not too successful, I don't think IGG gets much traffic.


Adventures & Settings

Ashdown: Sol & Xoth Sectors for Starships & Spacemen 2e - Updated version of a 2018 product. $4, 54 pages

Belly of the Beast - From JG author Geof Dale comes this short adventure. 14 pages, $1.15

Hex 07.36 - Slow Waters -  A hex crawl in a swamp full of "froglings", including two race as classes for them and a dungeon. $3.95, 27 pages

RPPP Medieval-Authentic(tm) City Guide: Exeter - 26 pagse (not a very large city, I guess) and $2.99

SO19 Caverns of Calamity: Goblin's Rage - This is possibly a humorous module, as the PCs are apparently hired by a gnomish group called G.A.R.I. to retriever a strange mushroom. Low level. 30 pages, $6.50

What Remains of Richter Krankenhaus - This is a dungeon from post WW1 Germany, an asylum run by a crazy doctor. 60 pages, and $3.99, but the whole adventure is available in the full size preview (something I do)

Rules

Campaign Codex 1: Classic Foes (OSR Edition) - Tables for customizing your bandits, kobolds, hobgoblins, and etc. 14 pages, $4.45

Campaign Codex 2: Lesser Undead (OSR Edition) - Like above, only for zombies, wights, ghouls, skeletons, and ghasts. 14 pages, $4.45

DMP1: Mission Generator -  Random tables, I guess. 3 pages and PWYW

Kobolds as a OSR Player Character Race - A little pricey, but this seems fairly comprehensive. Not sure if it's for race and class games (which is overkill, Idi Snitman didn't need special rules) or race as class style games/ $1.50 and 5 pages.

Lizardfolk as a OSR Player Character Race -  As above, but for lizardmen, presumably. $1.50

Operation Solo Endeavor - Solo rules for Operation White Box, the WW2 OSR game.  $4.95 and 43 pages

 

Misc

Friday Enhanced Map 9-25-2020 - Somewhat lopsided dungeon map. $2
