OSR News Roundup for September 9th, 2024

Welcome to the News Roundup for the second week in September. It's been another slow week for releases, but there are some goodies in here!

  • Odds & Ents has released TTRPG Digital Notebook Pages, a collection of fourteen player-facing pages designed for the players who maybe aren't the best notetakers. They're printable, but are also form-fillable pdfs, which I really like. It is formatted for D&D, but the creator intends to create more for other systems.

  • The Land of Calyx, Vol. 1, is a 58-page zine/gazetteer for the author's setting. It's crammed with a bunch of stuff, including player options, an adventure, but mostly I figured folks might find this interesting because it devotes a lot of space to the city of Calyx, and well described cities are always a great resource for games.

  • Francisco Lemos has released The Crypt of Crimson Ice, a gorgeous one-page dungeon. It's available in several different rules systems, including Cairn, Mork/Pirate Borg, and system neutral.

  • Sam Seer has released a one-page calendar tracking sheet. I'm pretty boring when it comes to gaming calendars, but I do like including them. One of the nice things about this sheet is that the creator includes the Affinity file to make it easy to edit and hack.

  • Sad Fishe Games has been putting out Junk Drive, a semi-regular zine for CY_Borg, and they've just released Issue 4, which updates and expands the weapons and equipment tables from the core rules.

  • Zed and Two Noughts is a 0-level funnel for Old School Essentials, and looks like it is a weird, fun romp through a deadly adventure filled with cosmic horrors.

  • The same publisher has also released Tangled (this has been on my radar for awhile), another 0-level funnel. This one has much more of a dark fairy-tale theme and absolutely amazing pixel art.

  • Speaking of amazing art, Emiel Boven has released the Electrum Archive Volumes 1 and 2. It's a science-fantasy setting along the lines of Vaults of Vaarn and the Ultraviolet Grasslands, and I was super excited to get my print copies at the end of last week.

  • The Pit of Blasphemy is a 56-page adventure/mini-setting for Mork Borg, and in addition to all the content of the books it also comes with a 12 track album with original music to get you in the mood to play.

  • I saw this pop up in my social feeds and wanted to promote it, as I once did something similar with the introductory dungeon from the Mentzer Basic set. A Sample Dungeon takes the map from the AD&D 1e book and fills it out.

  • Populated Hexes Monthly Issue 37 is now live, on Drivethru in print and pdf and on my website in offset print.

  • The prelaunch page for my upcoming Kickstarter is live. I'll be raising funds to print a 2025 Wilderness Hex-a-Day style calendar, with an accompanying hex workbook with a page per hex.
