Free OSR - ROGUELAND


I like short and light OSR rulesets. Remember, I'm the guy behind Swords & Wizardry Light & Continual Light. ROGUELAND looks awesome, and even if I don't ever run it, I may steal, er - borrow from it liberally.

ROGUELAND is available for free in PDF. Simply add it to your DTRPG cart and add it to your digital collection.

ROGUELAND is a 36 page rules-light, tabletop role-playing game. It is based on Ben Milton's Knave with modifications that focus on:

  • - defining characters by the items they carry rather than specific abilities or class features
  • - interpreting and casting free-form magic
  • - monster, trap, and treasure generation
  • - exploration procedures
  • - and more

This game uses player-facing, roll-high, d20 mechanics, and is broadly compatible with other OSR games and source materials.

Free Old School RPG - The Curse on God's Acre – A Free Dragon Warriors Solo Adventure (Dragon Warriors is also PWYW)


I remember seeing the ads for Dragon Warriors in Dragon Magazine back in the 80s. Damn, but the game looked so damn cool. Now, Dragon Warriors is priced at PWYW - both PDF and Print versions. And The Curse on God's Acre – A Dragon Warriors Solo Adventure clocks in at over 250 pages and is ALSO PWYW! Ah, to be young again!

What do you get with The Curse on God's Acre?

Deep in the fertile countryside of Chaubrette, you find yourself in God's Acre, an isolated valley containing the villages of Pernay, Lancome, and Monques. Here the sturdy locals grow wine and keep sheep — but all is not as it seems. A pernicious evil haunts the lanes and narrow fields of God's Acre.

Revealed at first in scraps of children's songs, in the blank stares of straw dolls, in the animals masks lurking in the shadows, in the tangled entrails of a murdered woman ... a witch cult has the valley in its grasp and is squeezing tighter.

Can you break The Curse on God's Acre?

A Dragon Warriors adventure for any profession, 3rd or 4th Rank. 508 entries.

Dragon Warriors'  40th anniversary won't pass unnoticed as long as Red Ruin Publishing have anything to say about it. They've just released the seventeenth book in their series of DW adventures, and it's one of the best. "The Curse on God's Acre is a memorable solo scenario that deserves a place in every Dragon Warriors player's collection." Dave Morris, Creator of Dragon Warriors

Deal of the Day - Sandbox Generator (Systen Agnostic)



I own the Sandbox Generator in print, and I love it. I should use it on the YouTube channel so folks can see it in action. Very well done and approachable.

Until tomorrow morning, the Sandbox Generator is on sale for $6 in PDF - usually 12 bucks.

The Sandbox Generator is a simple but powerful tool for DMs. It allows you to easily create a world from scratch when you prepare your next campaign. It will provide you with all the necessary information about your world: from the biomes map, to a lord’s coat of arms and the menu of the local tavern! It is also convenient for solo players and DMs who want to generate their world during the game session.

This book aims to create a pseudo-feudal fantasy world and is meant to be used with your favorite OSR ruleset and bestiary.

New worlds await: they are only a few rolls away…
