Welcome to the second Roundup of November. Let's jump right in, shall we. This week seems a bit lighter than recent weeks.
DURF is a fun little system, and DURF Me to the Moon is a recent entry into the DURF adventure game. It's meant to be a quick one-shot playable in a couple of hours, and is influenced by both The Little Prince and Dr. Who.
Simon Templar has just released The Call of Cairnthulhu, a mashup of Cairn and the works of HP Lovecraft. Cairn is a sweet game (I know I've talked about it before), and I think it dovetails very nicely into the Call of Cthulhu-style games.
Written for the excellent Wretched and Alone system, A Witch, A Gallows Bird is a late release for Halloween. You take the role of the one real witch in Salem Village, trying to survive in an atmosphere of accusations and fear.
The prolific James Floyd Kelly has launched a short Kickstarter for Delver 16/Runes 5, a collection of game aids and material for OSE and Shadowdark.
Christian Eichhorn is funding Tribute, a zine for Mork Borg, CY_Borg, and A Death in Space. Christian has released a staggering amount of 3rd party material for these systems, and their projects are always worth checking out.
One thing that the various Borgs do really well is project hopelessness into the game, and Mork Org leans into that, embracing perhaps the most horrifying, hopeless existence of all: that of the mindless office drone.
The Ghosts of Zoazanna Mountain is an adventure for OSE currently funding on Backerkit. It's a massive, 80+ page adventure, with some really great illustrations.
I meant to mention this a few weeks ago, but I dropped the ball. Elln the Witch has released a compilation of their "little zine" books. Each release is a little amuse bouche, a delightful aid to play, and they're definitely worth checking out.
Peculiar Taverns Along the Way is a collection of twenty taverns, broadly sketched, ready for the Referee to add details and throw them into their game as needed.
I've mentioned Corp Borg a couple of times, and Gates of Byll is a random room generator for that system.
Speaking of an amuse bouche, Random I Am is a collection of two tables of grog and grub, written with Pirate Borg in mind but obviously adaptable to any other system.
I'm a big fan of Hugh Lashbrooke's Mausritter releases, and Whiskers in the Wind introduces the new setting of Whiskerwind Hollow.
River of Lies is a DCC adventure set on the Purple Planet. It's written for 3rd level characters, and is by James A Pozenel, with art by a host of DCC luminaries.
MacGuffin and Co (publishers of some fantastic indie games, include Upriver, Downriver), have just released A Day at Barracuda Beach, a . . . relaxing, beach-based hexcrawl that allows the PCs to doff their plate armor and don their Speedos.
Populated Hexes Monthly Issue 39 is live on Drivethru, featuing an introduction to Tyeld, the City of Shadows, and the duskblade class, a martial playable class that draws power from the Shadowlands at the risk of corruption of the soul.
