New S&W White Box based RPG from Barrel Rider Games — The Hero's Journey



Has pretty much everything I don't like about S&W and White Box: Single Saving Throw; the weird d6+1, etc, hit dice; low level limits; d6 based skill system (1 in 6, 2 in 6, etc); minimalist ability score modifiers (from -2 to +2);  but if you like those things, it's worth a look.

Basically incorporates several of  Barrel Riders's White Box supplements. Mostly new classes.

Also uses armor as damage reduction.

Great cover, clearly inspired by the old Hobbit cover.

White Star now available from Barrel Rider Games


Whether a noble Star Knight protecting the universe from galactic tyranny, a hot shot pilot in the cockpit of the fastest stunt fighter in space, or an enigmatic Alien Mystic, classic science fiction adventure awaits you with White Star: White Box Science Fiction Roleplaying.
Based on Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox, White Star brings all the simple elegance  of WhiteBox out of the dungeon and into the stars! This complete roleplaying game includes seven new classes as well as rules for advanced technology, laser weaponry, space combat, and so much more!
Honestly, I think this has to be perhaps the most tortuous use of "White Box", but Barrel Rider puts out some good stuff. $9.99 for 132 pages in PDF, with a print option coming soon.

Barrel Rider Games releases Class Compendium

Barrel Rider has released a lot of classes for Labyrinth Lord. A whole lot of them. So many that I have lost count, but 50+, apparently. At $1 a piece, they were a bit pricey, but now they've been collected in one volume for $9.99, with a print version on the way.

Small Niche Game launches Time of the Dying Stars: Book One Kickstarter

Basically it's a novella set in the world of Dolmvay, which was the sample city in the Labyrinth Lord corebook and then fleshed out/detailed in the Pay What You Want product Dolmvay.

Time of the Dying Stars: Book One is the first of three books set in the City of Dolmvay. It is a collection of interlinked short stories that follow the events leading up to an ancient prophecy. This novella provides insights into the city's politics, religions, and the lives of everyday citizens.

The goal is $500, if $1000 is met, there will be a sourcebook based on the novella, and if $1500 is met, then there will be a separate adventure set in the city.

The novella is planned to be PWYW, but if you pledge $10, you get pdf versions of two campaign settings, and for a $20 pledge, you get 7 adventures (which I think is the entire library of what they've published).

Barrel Rider Bundle





This is a bundle of 5 of their products. 4 of them are unfortunately just their new classes (which TBH, aren't that great) but the other is their recent adventure, Frozen Fortress of the Winter Warlord, which seems pretty spiffy.
