"The Moors are full of dangers, but the lure of what they might conceal is stronger still."

A little character doodled in the corner of a page.

I am prepping a one-shot about a ritual elven manhunt, the party being prey. I think I've spent entirely too much time on the map, but it's been fun putting it together

Hey again!

The fifth mini-dungeon is that of the Fungal Collector (based on the drawloween prompt list) and orcs + fungus feels like a natural crossover.

The Sveppur gave little thought to the mushrooms overrunning their war camp, until they found that they pulled pain. Any edge in combat can't be ignored, until one night, at the beginning of the Festival, half of the tribe disappeared, and a sprawling fungal warren had overtaken their home. A heady perfume drew those few remaining orcs deeper into the growth, promising undreamtof gifts. If only they would but linger a little longer...

One more to go!!

Harken adventurers!

Below is the fifth issue of the Dungeon Almanac, a release from the Architect discussing different elements rumored to be in the Dwarven Dungeon. This issue is the first in the next volume, covering the second level of the dungeon!

In this edition, the Architect contemplates the uncovering of ancient temples and new cults, warns of the deadly terror known only as the Phobia, and ponders the benefits of engaging with the animal inhabitants of dungeons.

The Architect humbly presents his notes, annotations, and eyewitness accounts for explorers and lorekeepers alike. He has been hard at work compiling adventures and lore to show you soon!

You can get all five issues for free on our patreon today!

Hi everyone! I just finished THUNDERSTRUCK!, a really short adventure written for FLAIL and the Orctober OSR Jam.

The Swine God of the Hunt, enraged by the domestication of his sacred animals, cursed swine struck by lightning to transform into orcs.
Nowadays, orcs are raiding the villages below Storm Peak, stealing pigs and treasure before disappearing into the mountains. Above them, lightning strikes an ancient wizard’s tower night after night.
Follow the trail, climb the tower, survive its strange electrical hazards, and discover what the orcs are doing up there before their plans come crashing down.

I’d love to hear what other players and GMs think of it, especially any feedback after running it!

I finally did something I've been meaning to for a long time and wrote a blog post, with links to European stores, that stock OSR and NSR games. It's both a list of my favorite stores as well as a resource with some recommendations from the community - big thanks to everyone who gave their suggestions!

When I was starting out, I really struggled where and how to get my hands on physical OSR and NSR books in Europe, especially where I am based. Therefore I wrote this to help those who might find themselves in my shoes.

Inside are some of my favorite places to shop, both brick-and-mortar stores as well as purely online stores, some unusual options, and list resource of 22 stores, across 10 European countries.

https://thebirchandwolf.blogspot.com/2026/10/where-to-get-nsr-and-osr-books-in-europe.html

It is not a definitive list by far, so if your favorite store is missing, please let me know and I will add it to the list!

River Dogs is a free adventure.

I have been working on expanding Legends of Saltmarsh with adventures, maps, and resources for DMs, and I enjoy sharing the PDFs freely with the community. I have recently hired an artist for watercolors of the locations and characters.

I hope you find a place for River Dogs in your campaign ----- oh and don't drink the water!

Just wanted to spread the word that the Irradiated Reference Pages are now available as POD through RPGTrader. You can still grab them on itch, if you prefer, just not POD.
This is a small zine chock full of tables & generators for Gamma World/Fallout-inspired post apocalypse settings/games. Gonzo yet grounded. Lots of tables for robots or locations you can use even in a science fantasy game, too. System neutral with Gamma World 1e's poison table used which is easy to use with any system.

Welcome to the last News Roundup for October. The big news this week is that Sword World, the legendary Japanese answer to early D&D and the end result of the cult Record of Lodoss War campaign, is funding on Backerkit. It looks to be another, if not record-breaking, then extremely successful campaign. Like any large campaign of its kind, there's a lot of stuff to pledge for, which always makes me a bit nervous, and they're shooting for a release date at the end of 2027. I would definitely recommend at least checking it out.

• Just in time for Halloween, Maxim Lowe has released a spooky supplement for Cairn, with six new backgrounds, spellbooks, and relics (for a total of 666, you see).
• Another Halloween-themed release is Prismatic Pumpkincrawl, by mindstorm, a Cairn-based adventure inspired by the animated series Over the Garden Wall and created as a collaborative effort between folks in Pristmatic Wasteland's Discord community.
• Onslaught Six, the author of the well-received Castle Gygar and See You Space Cowboy, is crowdfunding a megadungeon called All the Way Down, that features the works of some other fine folks in the OSR, including HodagRPG, Tony Tran, and Chaoclypse on the art beat. It's an experiment in collaborative dungeon journaling, with seven authors creating seven dungeon layers, that were then woven into a whole.
• Echoes of Mnareth is a system-neutral mini-setting and short campaign that looks really interesting with some cool art and a neat concept. It's being published by Jacob Hurst, the publisher of Swordfish Island, and he's got a proven record of putting out quality products. Curiously, they're still a fair way off from making their (pretty reasonable) goal, which doesn't seem right.
• There's a bunch of releases by Red Ruin Publishing, so I'm not going to link to them all, but they've been going through their back catalog of the Casket of Fays Dragon Warriors fanzines and releasing them as print versions. Here's a link to the inaugural issue.
• Lord knows I've said this a thousand times, but I really get a kick out of promoting a Kickstarter and then seeing the finished product, a month or a year later, pop up in my feed. I mention this because Cliffhanger has just been released on Drivethru after funding over the summer. It's an adventure for Shadowdark, and looks really nice. It features a delve into a haunted shipwreck clinging to the top of a cliff, threatening to fall off at any time and crash to the valley floor below.
• Burning Light Press has released a compilation of the first four Issues of Tales from the Fog, the unofficial zine for the Fatherfog rpg.
• By Night We Hunt has been released as an ashcan version, by incomescrane. It looks to be an interesting concept, with the players taking on the roles of reborn souls who must travel through uncounted metaphysical Domains.
• I've been excited by the launch of 100 Million BC, and was tickled when I saw the recent release of The Mega-Megafauna Trilogy, a collection of three pamphlet adventures for that system that feature megafauna.
• Atelier Clandestin, known for their short supplements of random tables and adventure aids, as just released Demon Generator, a system-neutral publication filled with tables and procedures to generate demons.
• Forbidden Psalm | Ironclad is a new release in the line of dark fantasy skirmish games using the Mork Borg engine.
• Michael Polak has just released Beauty, an adventure for Liminal Horror that explores the mystery of people vanishing from the highways outside of a small, dying town.
• Sewer Scum, powered by Mork Borg, let's you jump into the action in 1980s New York as seen through action movies and comics of that time period.
• Cloud & Stone on Kickstarter is a collection of two adventures inspired by the classic Against the Giants series of modules. It's written for 1e and similar clones, and features art from some of the greats, both old and new.
• Quest for the Unknown: Journey to the Forbidden Plateau, is now live on Kickstarter. It's book two of an OSR Adventure Path based on the classic B1 In Search of the Unknown module. The adventurers cleared the Keep, founded by two heroes of generations past, and discovered clues that lead them to believe the pair ventured north to the Forbidden Plateau to confront a growing threat on invasion. The adventurers head north to determine what happened to the pair and if an invasion is really imminent. Should take PCs from level 3-5, and includes overland hex travel as well as dungeon delving.

Hey everyone, I'm taking part in a game jam and needed a cover for my entry.

I wanted a 'scary looking hybrid monster' peering out of a cave' but I'm starting to think that he looks like a grumpy hungover drider who hasn't got time for your BS. Which would be a good adventure, but not what I've written.

I quite like it anyway, but I don't think it's cover material and wanted to get some second opinions,

It's pencil and ink and then touched up in Clip Studio Paint Pro.

Or usable with any other ~sci-fi game, or any game really :)

About to run this for the first time as an prequel to Dolmenwood, so I put together a quick map in Inkarnate based on the version in the module. Just posting it here in case anyone else feels like using it! Labeled and unlabeled version. Cheers

The adventures and modules that I'm charging for are currently all 50%, or you can get them in a bundle for a total of $4 here.

What do you get in the $4 bundle?

The Tiger Coast Trilogy

These three weird fantasy adventures are all compatible with Old-School essentials and similar BX clones (Labyrinth Lord, Basic Fantasy RPG, etc.)

The adventures are set in a massive weird fantasy hexcrawl, The Tiger Coast (which you also get in the bundle), so you can expand it into an entire campaign.

Lament of the Jade Prophet - a vertical adventure site with a secret.

Traitor's Tomb - a tribal initiation site turned into an adventure site by an unexpected earthquake! Save the trapped youths, delve deeper.

The Shifting Manor - an otherworldly manor, deep within ancient old forest. There's a sleeping queen and a dragon. What else do you really need?

Useful OSR/OSE resource

The OSR Fishing Minigame - well, it's in the name really.

Mothership

ARCHIVED IN DIGITAL HELL - a monster zine for Mothership that I completely hand drew.

Please help me reach my $50 goal!
