I had mentioned over the summer that author (of both fiction and game material) Howard Andrew Jones was sick with terminal cancer. In addition to being a great writer, Howard was incredibly encouraging to me when I started writing, and his infrequent emails in support of my projects really gave me the confidence to keep going. It is with great sadness that I learned last week that Howard has since passed away. The GoFundMe to support his family is still active, though, and if you can't donate to that I suggest you check out some of his writing.
Davide Quatrini has released 6 for .66, a collection of six new monsters for Mork Borg. This was actually released last month, but I missed it, and thanks to Davide for reaching out to let me know about it (if you've released something please let me know, as my gaze is not ominiscient!).
DedZepplin has released Wilderlands, a game of heroic characters inspired by the works of JRR Tolkien and using a system similar to Cairn or Into the Odd.
The charmingly named Valley of the Cannibal Cow is a short (two page) adventure written as part of the Zungeon 2025 Jam, and features a murderous bovine terrorizing a small, helpless village.
el has released Nothing will come of Nothing, a short introductory adventure written for Cairn. It's meant to be deadly, and requires clever thinking and teamwork in order to survive.
Escape to Blackboot Bog is another introductory adventure for Cairn. It's designed as a "pathcrawl", taking adventurers from point to point to illustrate gameplay.
James Spahn is crowdfunding a campaign for the White Box Cyclopedia, a compilation of the core rules plus various supplements and additional materials that have been published over the years.
Hobgoblin is the first issue of a new OSR zine, written to be system agnostic. There's not much more information on it, but it looks interesting.
Underground Oracle Publishing has released the intriguing Bad Moon over Burnt Rock, a weird west adventure written for Mausritter. It looks pretty amazing.
Tales of Argosa, by Pickpocket Press, is a fun low-fantasy game, and I stumbled across the Jester, a new playable class for ToA.
The Elixer of Kosmodes is a 1st-level, city-based adventure for DCC, inspired by The Invasions of the Body Snatchers.
When I saw the product entitled Cowborg, I must admit that my mind leapt to a different conclusion than what it actually is. Regardless, I'm hopeful that this, a hack of Morg Borg set in apocalyptic wild west, does for the weird west genre what Pirate Borg did for nautical-themed campaigns.
Chainsaw Space Wizards is powered by Troika!, and takes place roughly 40,000 years in the future, with all of the, um, grimdark fun that suggests.
There's only a couple days left in the Kickstarter campaign for Issue 42 of Populated Hexes Monthly. This issue, featuring cover art by Waclaw Traier, nine demons from other sources adapted to BX-style games, and extensive rules and guidelines for creating new demon types.
