New Module from the Merciless Merchants
While I could wait until my weekly update, this is notable because a) they make really good modules and b) it's also available at Lulu. Price is $5 PDF at DTPRG or $10 for print (at Lulu or DTRPG)
Also, amusingly it uses that piece of art I mentioned from my recent review of the Ruined City Cywhatzit, which I thought must be stock art since it didn't depect anything from the module. Does it depict anything here? I don't know, but I will find out...

New and Free Module from Guy Fullerton
From the author of the two modules, F1 The Fane of the Poisoned Prophecies and F3 Many Gates of the Gann (still no F2) comes The Hyqueous Vaults, available from Lulu
Apparently written in honor of the 10th anniversary of OSRIC, which is a bit odd since this two modules were notable in eschewing the use of the OGL and so advertising as being used for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. But very nice of him, regardless.
The Hyqueous Vaults is a site-based dungeon with water and necromancy themes, some tricky/puzzling situations, and plenty of opportunity for combat. A challenging and lucrative module for 6-8 characters, averaging 3rd level. A centuries-old map leads to a mysterious cliffside complex, rumored to be flooded, and supposedly holding a dead necromancer’s fortune. Sages believe the arm-length metal implement accompanying the map must be some sort of key. The complex stands ripe for exploration by a party sufficiently strong and sneaky to wrest any treasures from the depths

Updated Version of Engines & Empires
Engines & Empires was a rules addition and setting for Labyrinth Lord, basically a steampunk/Victorian era game by John Higgins.
It's still the latter, but apparently now it's a stand alone game, with the setting separate. The PDFs are free (from Lulu) and reasonbly priced hard copies are also available
I have not looked at the new version yet (and won't get a chance until Monday night, likely), but the old version was exceptionally well done and this should be a must download.

Dark Albion: The Rose War now available in hardcover
Apparently this is not Dark Ages as I thought (I had heard comparisons to Warhammer), but set in the War of the Roses, but with more of a fantasy twist. The PDF isn't available yet, but the hardcover can be bought at Lulu for $29.24 or in a variant cover with Tom Servo on it.

The Black Ruins—Free Adventure
From Corey Walden, better known on message boards as rastus_burne, comes The Black Ruins, a free 12 page adventure for characters level 1 to 3
Blackened esoteric obelisks, henceforth known among most folk as ‘The Yore Standing Stones’, dot a strangely unnatural hill. The runes are inscribed with runic scripting, but it is what looms below the forlorn hill that should chill any good serf to the bone. Maintaining compatibility with any old school fantasy role-playing game or retro-clone, this is an adventure for 4-6 players arrayed around levels 1-3.

Nod #25 now available in print
I guess this is now the longest running OSR 'zine. I guess Footprints is still going, but has fewer issues. But at any rate, John Stater's 25h issue of Nod is now available in print at Lulu (for $10 plus shipping), as well as in pdf form for $4.99
NOD 25 - First issue of 2015! In this issue, the Klarkash Mountains hex crawl through weird, goblin-infested mountains.

Basic Fantasy RPG 3rd Edition now in print at Lulu
The Basic Fantasy RPG recently got upgraded to 3rd Edition, and now it's available in print at Lulu for $9.35, which I think it at cost.
Not sure what is new. I got my copy from Amazon last year when my power company gave me a gift card for answering a survey, and I think that version was solid.

Wizards Mutants Laser Pistols Vol 1 available at Lulu
This rings a bell, but I'm not familiar with it off hand. I think this is a compilation of fanzines,
Within lies a taste of the world of Fantasy before it was clipped and trimmed and placed in a neat box. Animators and Musketeers delve dank dungeons teeming with Nosferrogu and Flamingodiles, where mutant tribes battle coldly calculating Luminites with poisoned spears and blazing lasers. Shitoth the Spider Daemon and Bitlinktaknerekt the Hell Gnome stalk their deadly lairs. The mummified head of the ancient sorcerer TuattaTan berates you for your obesity. Genres mix and epochs mingle, arcanotech and dinosaurs, Thundarr meets Cthulhu! Dreams coalesce and nightmares take on reality. What is this glorious mess?! It’s WIZARDS MUTANTS LASER PISTOLS! the fanzine of old school weirdness

Original Edition Delta: Book of Spells 2nd Edition now available on Lulu
That's weird, after months of nothing OSR related on Lulu, on back to back days there are new items. Today, it's Original Edition Delta: Book of Spells: 2nd Edition, available in both print and pdf for $8 and $6 respectively.
A concise, comprehensive collection of magic spells for use with the "original edition" fantasy game rules (as published by Gygax & Arneson, 1974-1975). A handy supplement for both DMs and players of wizard characters. Now revised & edited with extra care for the 2nd Edition! All of the spells have been refined and polished to let their essential facets shine brightly -- bringing them in even closer alignment with the original game. It's easier than ever for DMs and players to use and remember any wizard spell at the table without slowing down the game.

Second and Zero Edition Samurai released
Although never an "official" class until OA, it was a very popular unofficial class, so much so there was one in the Wizardry game (which basically used the D&D rules) and some early D&D fiction.
Leonaru has released a 2e version and a 0e version, both free from Lulu.
Edit: And here is a 1e version.

New at Lulu—Obscene Serpent Religions by Rafael Chandler
This seems to be another LoFP, "look at me, look at me" sort of product with tables of random gibberish supposed to be edgy...

Tomb of the Sea Kings 2nd Edition now available at Lulu
I must confess, I didn't even know there was a 1st Edition of The Tomb of the Sea Kings
Long ago, before the Great Purging of the Island Empires, there were 80 Sea Kings. Each held his keep on the cays which comprise the Urchinn Isles. As tradition, when a king would die his body was set to sea in a large boat from whence the king's spirit would rule the high seas. But one island was different… On this island lived the great and terrible wizard, Faltor Pan. Using his magic he captured the sea kings' souls, imprisoned them in a labyrinth on Blackstone Island, and promised them no rest until a very powerful, very old magic sword known as Doomcreeper, was pulled from the depths and delivered to him. In truth Faltor Pan is no man, but said to be an ancient serpent!The preview looks interesting. While it's for OSR games, apparently it uses some house rules

Crimson Blades now at Lulu
I'm pretty sure this is a Swords & Wizardry hack like his other stuff, though a fairly hefty departure incorporating some BRP stuff I think, from Stormbringer/Elric!. 128 pages for $12.50.
With a familiar yet different set of rules, Crimson Blades gives you fantastic old school-style dark fantasy/sword & sorcery role-playing. You can be a brooding sorcerer with a demon blade, a savage barbarian with an equally savage panther companion, a grim tomb-robber seeking the riches of a long-dead empire or even a Dendrelyssi - one of the last members of a decadent race of necromancers looking for redemption in the lands they once ruled. Included in the game are five human character classes: Barbarian, Fighter, Mountebank, Sorcerer and Thief plus the inhuman Dendrelyssi and the NPC class Royal Redeemer. There are the traditional rules for spell-casting as well as rules for summoning and binding demons, elementals and undead. Included in the game is a brief setting "The Crimson Lands" for you to use as the basis for your own campaign
And right now Lulu has a 10% discount code, JUNE10. Usually they have better ones, but that's all I know of at the moment...
