Let's jump right in and see what new releases there are for this week's edition, shall we?
In what is likely a Roundup first, there's an rpg release on Ko-fi. Entitled Space Cairn, it's a hack of the popular Cairn 2e ruleset for sci-fi gaming. I know I've plugged artists on ko-fi before, but I think this is the first rpg release I've seen on the platform.
Matt Kelly has released Jug Bitten, a supplement for Cairn, Into the Odd, or virtually any other OSR system, that delves into the age old question of "what happens when the PCs decide to start drinking on the job."
Dodocahedron Games has released a six-sided dungeon bookmark designed to not only help you mark your place but as a handy set of tables and inspiration for use during gaming. The creator is visually impaired, and designed these printable tools to be easy to use and accessible.
For whatever reason I don't always catch game jams as they're ongoing, instead noticing them after they're done and I start seeing the submissions out in the world. Not with the enticingly named Below a Bad Moon Jam. It's a long-running one, and has only two guiding design principles: fuck up the moon, and put a maze under a castle.
Minihex is a hack of the Mini-Quest game, and is designed to play solo or with a small group. It's a cute little minis game that you can print out the board for.
This is the first release by TrueTenno that I've seeen; they've released SunEater on itch; it's an adventure for Mork Borg and has some of the most charming, DIY-art I've seen in awhile.
Seven Sealed Spirits is an alliterative adventure for Knave 2e. It's a micro-setting island with a ton of content jammed into the 32 pages.
In a stunning break from tradition, Casket of Fays #15, the Dragon Warriors fanzine I plug whenever I happen to see a new issue, is now available as a PWYW title rather than free. I'm glad they took this step; the publishers have released an incredible amount of content as a labor of love, and it's only right that they get some financial love in return.
It's been awhile since I've seen a new release of Zine of Wondrous Power, and Issue 5 is now out, chock full with shark-themed material for a variety of OSR-games.
Munkao is an author an illustrator that I'm always happy to promote -- you might know them from projects such as Thousand Thousand Islands and Reach of the Roach God -- and they've just released another solo project: Deluge at Drizzle Distillery. It's written for Cairn and Into the Odd. You should check it out, they always produce great stuff.
Philip Reed can be relied upon to release a steady stream of quality OSR-adjacent products; their newest release, A Rattle of Bones, Creepy Encounters for Fantasy RPGs, does pretty much what it says on the tin.
James Mishler has released Liber Diaboli, a supplement of demons and devils for Shadowdark. I like that they include a warning that the supplement adds complexity to the system that some players may not be looking for, and compares the difference to Advanced versus Basic. I should really take that to heart and start adding that to my stuff.
In addition to releasing the 2025 Hex-a-Day Workbook on Drivethrurpg, where you can get it in pdf or hard and soft flavors of print on demand, we've added the spiral-bound version to the Sabre webstore. These will ship out immediately, while the POD versions likely won't arrive until after the holidays, I'm afraid. This book is in the form of a daily calendar planner, with 365 hexes to fill in as part of a hexcrawl.
