Free OSR - Basic Fantasy RPG (Complete Line)



Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, released for the Basic Fantasy RPG is free in PDF, and essentially at cost in print. The latest edition of Basic Fantasy is free of the OGL and released under the Creative Commons license.

Whether you play BFRPG or not, the complete line of supplements and adventures are free in PDF and highly compatible with the "classic" rules of your youth and most OSR rulesets.

Print copies can be obtained at cost from both DTRPG and Amazon, with Amazon offering the bonus of free Prime shipping for Prime Members.

Last spring, at our annual gathering, I gave collections of BFRPG core rules and adventures to members of my old gaming group

This is the revised 4th Edition of the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game, a rules-light game system written with inspiration from early RPG game systems. It is suitable for those who are fans of "old-school" game mechanics, and it's simple enough for children in perhaps second or third grade to play, yet still having enough depth for adults as well. With this edition, the game is now released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license.

Humble Bundle - Map Making Mega Bundle (Campaign Cartographer plus Many More)


As tabletop gamers, we are generally obsessed with maps to some extent. I love to draw maps for my fantasy campaigns, but I truly suck at it. With a bit of practice - and the Map Making Mega Bundle over at Humble Bundle by ProFantasy, your maps won't suck ;)

30 bucks is all in, but 15 does give you the core software and some fun widgets to use with it.

Campaign Cartographer 3+ is 44.95 at the ProFantasy webstore - just by itself!

Free OSR - The Doom-Cave of the Crystal-Headed Children (LotFP)



The Doom-Cave of the Crystal-Headed Children was the Free RPG Day offering from LotFP in 2014, written by James Raggi. To call the adventure "quirky" would be an understatement - and a disservice. 

It claims to be for "any level" of characters, but I'd guess from browsing the adventure that levels 2-3 would work fine. It is pure Raggi, but it is solvable. Oh, and disturbing. Very disturbing.

Lamentations' stuff is not for everyone, but if you enjoy the various LotFP releases and this isn't in your collection, the pricing should be very tempting ;)

LotFP’s 2013 Free RPG Day adventure, Better Than Any Man, was banned by many game stores around the world. The adventure was even accused by one participating store as being about “killing children.”

It wasn’t; but people see what they want to see, and because LotFP wants to work with retailers and be a publisher that produces what retailers want to see, we have decided that per that store's wishes, this year's Free RPG Day adventure should be about the killing of children.

Not to worry though—they are freaky crystal-headed children. Inhuman RPG cannon-fodder. ‘Monsters.’ So it’s okay. They deserve it. So you can have fun carving them up. Right?

A LotFP Weird Fantasy Role-Playing adventure for characters of any level. As the title indicates, it is a dungeon crawl.

Bundle of Holding - Wyrd and Wild (OSR Sourcebooks)

I was surprised to see an OSR Bundle at Bundle of Holding where I didn't recognize the titles. Such is the case with the Wyrd and Wild bundle. But then I looked at the titles on DTRPG:

Into the Wyrd and Wild Revised Edition - 19.95 - Mithral Best Seller - 4.9 out of 5 for 79 ratings

Into the Cess and Citadel - 19.95 - Gold Best Seller - 5 out of 5 for 24 ratings

Ave Nox - 20.00 - Silver Best Seller - 4.7 out of 5 for 7 ratings

The Vast in the Dark: Expanded - 20.00 - Electrum Best Seller - 5 out of 5 for 10 ratings

Take my money. I'm all in. :)

Adventurer! This all-new Wyrd and Wild Bundle presents Into the Wyrd and Wild and other tabletop weird-fantasy roleplaying sourcebooks from designer-artist Charles Ferguson-Avery at Feral Indie Studio and Wet Ink Games. Easily adaptable to any Old-School Revival system such as Old-School Essentials, Shadowdark, or The Black Hack – or, with a little work, to Dungeon Crawl Classics, Pathfinder, and D&D 5E and compatible systems – these vivid and atmospheric system-neutral supplements give gamemasters the tools to create forbidding forests, exotic cities, Witcher-style monster hunts, and more. And the 200-room Ave Nox dungeon and the brutalist alien megastructures in The Vast in the Dark keep any group busy exploring for months. Send your players into these dark and dangerous landscapes and let them get their Wyrd on.

For just US$19.95 you get all six complete Old-School supplements in our Feral Collection (retail value $87) as DRM-free ebooks, including the acclaimed Into the Wyrd and Wild (Revised Edition) (often described as "Veins of the Earth for forests") and its urban counterpart, Into the Cess and Citadel; the 208-page megadungeon Ave Nox; the alien exploration setting The Vast in the Dark - Expanded; and two zine-size mini-sourcebooks, As the Gods Demand and They Cried Monster.

Free OSR - CC1 Creature Compendium (New Big Dragon Games)



Somehow, I missed Rich LeBlanc's (New Big Dragon Games) Creature Compendium being priced at PWYW. At this price, it should be in every GM's toolkit for old-school / OSR gaming. Written for B/X AND 1e, it's a perfect fit for OSE, DragonSlayer, OSRIC, Swords & Wizardry, the original rules, and beyond.

Sample creature with stat block:


Remember those flashes of inspiration that electrified your brain when you first picked up that hardback volume of monsters all those years ago?

The countless nights you sat up thinking of how to use those monsters, where to put them, and when your players would meet them? Those unceasing waves of joy that swam over you and your players as you unleashed those creatures, critters, beasts, and behemoths upon their characters?

Collected herein are over 200 monsters from Abysmal to Zathoa, instilled with that same spirit, presented in a “dual-stat” format, and designed to be used with most early editions of the world’s original role-playing game and comparable retro-clones.

Backerkit - WHPA-13 The Demon Curd of St Uguzo


When I was first exposed to WHPA-13 at TotalCon in 2024, I wondered what this quirky little zine of an RPG was. After reading the rules and flashing back to my youth of black and white TVs, rabbit ears, and public access, I wanted to know where WHPA-13 had been for much of my earlier life. (Note: WHPA-13 is 5 bucks in PDF at DTRPG - you owe it to your younger self to buy a copy)

It's a very special RPG, and Silver Bulette is publishing The Demon Curd of St Uguzo. Rocky and Ian are dear friends of mine, and I expect their entry will be a huge success. Oh, and funny as hell!

This 'zine came together as an adventure and some bonus material you can use at your WHPA table. The adventure contains numerous player handouts and aps to make the investigation of this mystery a breeze. Can your Hosts figure out what is plaguing the town of Fairhaven before Demonic Manifestations overrun the entire place. 

This project is a 20 page zine that will be printed on 80 pound paper with a 100 pound cover. The zine is production ready and files have been uploaded to the printer and are awaiting the go ahead. 

The current estimated printing and shipping time was 4-6 weeks and mailing would happen immediately upon arrival.

"This melts my mozzarella heart, Ian. I love this so much and the experience section is really interesting. Thanks for putting so much personality into this. This has my top-tier blessing. You really get this whole project. WELL DONE" - Rev. Joey Royale

Deal of the Day - FlexTale Hexcrawl Toolkit (multisystem: Pathfinder, P2E, 5E, OSR, DCC)



Hexcrawls. Nothing but hexcrawls :)

I've only heard good things about the FlexTale series of releases, and I've picked up the odd one here or there. I believe I have their Solo FlexTale supplement, and it was full of useful tables.

Today's Deal of the Day is the FlexTale Hexcrawl Toolkit. Normally, it is 19.99 in PDF format, but until tomorrow morning, the FlexTale Hexcrawl Toolkit is on sale for 4 bucks.

This book was designed to be the most complete, most comprehensive, most innovative authority on hexcrawl roleplaying game adventuring ever produced.

After more than 35 years of gaming, both old-school through to today's most popular systems, the Hexcrawl Toolkit takes one of the hobby's oldest and most enduring concepts, and provides a passionate and well-organized guide for running hexcrawls, either as part of your campaign, or as the focus of them.  Designed to be used by new players, veteran G/DMs, those entirely new to hexcrawls, and solo players alike, this book will be immediately useful to any gaming group, in any context, using any rules system, for campaigns of any length--even those already in progress!

The goal of the book is to guide readers through the concepts at the reader's own pace and preference.  

If you've ever seen a module or other book with a hex map, and thought to yourself, how do I make one of those?  How do I make the one that's there better?  This book is for you.

Kickstarter - Ryecroft: A Dangerous Cemetery Crawl for OSE and B/X TTRPGs (Midderlands)

I've said this before, and I'll say it again - Gylnn Seal (AKA Monkeyblood) is one of the most skilled RPG professional creators in the business. Writing, artwork, mapping, layout, you name it - he's one of the best.

Ryecroft: A Dangerous Cemetery Crawl is Glynn's latest Kickstarter. While not explicitly set in the Midderlands, it will fit right in (or likely fit most any old-school setting.)

Print plus PDF is about $52 US plus shipping.

Deal of the Day - GM's Miscellany: Wilderness Dressing (5e) (Essentially System Neutral)

The GM Miscellany series of releases is one of the best resources for any GM running a campaign, OSR or otherwise. They exemplify the ideal resource for the improved GM, and little comes close in quality.

If any GM Miscellany resource indicates a rules system, especially if it is on sale, you can easily ignore it and regard it as system-neutral.

Today's Deal of the Day is GM's Miscellany: Wilderness Dressing (5e). Usually 21.95 in PDF, it is on sale for 10.98. (until March 30th @ 11AM ET)

Want to make their journeys seem more “real”? Then GM’s Miscellany: Wilderness Dressing is for you! A compilation of the Wilderness Dressing line, each instalment focuses on a different type of wilderness or a feature therein and gives the harried GM the tools to bring such features to life with interesting and cool noteworthy features.

GM’s Miscellany: Wilderness Dressing presents loads of great features and details to enliven your PCs’ travel both overland and by sea. Designed to be used both during preparation or actual play, GM’s Miscellany: Wilderness Dressing is an invaluable addition to any GM's armoury! 

GM’s Miscellany: Wilderness Dressing presents the material originally appearing in:

  • Wilderness Dressing: Badlands
  • Wilderness Dressing: Bandits
  • Wilderness Dressing: Castles
  • Wilderness Dressing: Caves & Caverns

Kickstarter - Emberland: the Zine of an Evolving 5e TTRPG Sandbox


 I know it says "5e" in the very title, but apparently, it is also for the OSR:

"Seven zine issues, each adding new territory, NPCs, creatures, and adventures to the evolving 5e/OSR TTRPG setting of Emberland."

So, OSR, quirk maps, and only 20 bucks? The Emberland Kickstarter is a no-brainer for me!

Built with both 5e and OSR in mind, inspired by Lovecraftian Horror, Oz & Wonderland, and a bit of The Muppets... it's Emberland.

Incorporating both a points-of-interest-hexcrawl and story-filled campaign hooks, the Emberland sandbox is designed to provide GMs with an open world that will grow and respond to player choices, and also be a setting where specific storylines (if the PCs are inclined to follow the hooks) can lead to detailed adventures. Built around a hex-crawl "points-of-interest" format, the Emberland zines will build out a world full of random encounter tables (changing with each zine to reflect the different terrains and level advancement of the characters) add specific adventures (including a Mega-Dungeon: The Work Pit), and introduce a growing number of NPCs and factions that will be at odds with the PCs.

Deal of the Day - The Shrike (OSE Sandbox)

If I have to choose between reading an adventure and setting material, I'll almost always choose setting material. An adventure is essentially "one and done," whereas setting material can be part of a campaign to be used session after session. It's where the author's imagination truly shines through.

Today's Deal of the Day is The Shrike for OSE. It is billed as "A huge modular sandbox adventure setting in an abandoned fragment of Hell." If that isn't one hell of an elevator pitch, I don't know what is!

Usually, it is $29 in PDF, but until tomorrow morning, The Shrike is on sale for $8.70

What's Inside?

  • 46 unique pointcrawl locations across the Shores of the Shrike, its fiery Guts, jagged snow capped Exterior, and procedurally generated depth-crawl in the surreal shifting interior of the it's heaven-harrowing Barb. 
  • 3 detailed and keyed dungeons including the waterlogged Cove of Iron Coffins, the derelict Gamigin's Starforge, and an endless masquerade ball in The Palace of the Heart, ranging from low to high level.
  • 5 scheming factions of the diabolic Courts and mountains of detailed NPC's
  • 3 new classes. From the shapeshifting Imp, to the Forged and Rampant Partials; made from the God's blood animating detritus and abandoned objects- molded into demon designed bodies or left to grow wild and feral.
  • 40+ new monsters from the eyegouger finch to the auric homunculus.
  • 37 brand new peculiar magic items 
  • 1 Nameless God impaled upon the Shrike's heaven-harrowing thorn, writhing and seeking escape.

Bundle of Holding - Stillfleet (Sci-Fi RP




I'm not a huge sci-fi gamer (but I definitely play them more than Supers) but I'm far more interested in sci-fi RPGs for the fluff. The crunch is almost irrelevant. The fluff for the Stillfeet Bundle looks damn good.

Voidminer! This all-new Stillfleet Bundle presents Stillfleet, the far-future science fiction tabletop roleplaying game from the Stillfleet Studio about exploring ruined spacecraft ("hulks") and habitable Earthlike planets cut off from contact with Terra for decades or centuries. Players are voidminers, explorers working for the Worshipful Company of Stillfleeters, known simply as "the Co." Their base is the mysterious alien space station nicknamed Spindle – a kilometers-long sea slug made of undulating black stone. The Spindle is shot through with timespace gates that lead to habitable worlds. Using the flexible Grit System, you can play any sapient species from a (post)human to a giant bug, a mobile xeno-cactus, or an AI that projects an invulnerable hologram. No matter what type of voidminer you create, you'll have to contend with a venal Co. that sends you out on dangerous ventures at short notice for confounding reasons. The cosmos of Stillfleet is hilarious and horrifying – the struggles, all too real.

For just US$9.95 you get both titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $34) as DRM-free ebooks: the complete Stillfleet Core Rulebook and the nanotech-based character expansion Subtle Fluid.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $20.29, you'll level up and also get our entire Bonus Collection with three more titles worth an additional $44, including the espionage-focused regional gazetteer Qadida, the eight-scenario anthology Peregrinations Volume 1, and the full-length introductory venture The Sleeper in the Sky.

Kickstarter - Sickest Witch (Old-School RPG)



I got to spend some time with Justin at PAGE 2, and I will say this flat out - the quality of his books - the art, the layout, and the paper itself- is second to none. I easily spent 100 on his Mork Borg material and have yet to run a session of Mork Borg

Needless to say, I put $99 into the Sickest Witch Kickstarter, as that level is, by far, the sweetest spot. What do you get for 99 bucks?

Sketch Edition + Original Art from Book

Sketch Cover Limited Edition Sickest Witch Core Rulebook +PDF. Each cover will have an original art ink sketch by Justin Sirois. No two books will be the same. Only 100 will be printed and sketched on. You also get a random original piece of inked art from the book. On top of that, you get the standard edition of the book as well and all physical and digital stretch goals.

Additionally:

Pledge within the first 72 hours (before Friday March 28 at 11am EST), and all physical backers get a free Blood Property adventure zine +PDF with exclusive cover and an exclusive Sickest Witch wood mini. 

Justin had a goal of $3k - he was at over $15k when I posted this, so this is funded at then some.

Curious about Sickest Witch? Maybe you like really dark games or maybe you love witches—or both. You might just like the name. Sickest Witch is a dar, low-fantasy system and series of adventures. There are no dragons or fairies. Demonology is prevalent among the poor common folk who populate the towns. Black magic, plague, and famine are routine. But this is folk horror with a twist. 

Nostalgia is not what Sickest Witch is going for. There are many old school systems that do that great. Even though this system borrows heavily from the past, it is not looking to recreate it.

This is what sets the Severed System apart from others. Firstly, Witches have to harvest body parts to cast magic. Piece by piece, you become more powerful as you hack up your enemies. Additionally, nearly all magic points are shared in a pool named the Cauldron. This makes for somewhat tense moments as your Coven discusses what to do next.

Deal of the Day - Modern Necessities: Professional Edition (OSE)


Looking to add some modern weaponry to your fantasy OSE (or likely ANY OSR game)? You may want to run some modern-day campaigns, with or without magic and fantasy elements. Maybe GURPS just isn't up your alley ;)

Deal of the Day - The Midderlands - OSR Bestiary and Setting


The Midderlands is Glynn Seal's baby. I have backed every Kickstarter he's run and have all his work in print & PDF. I've enjoyed his art and maps in the products of many other publishers, and I consider Glynn a friend. 

The Midderlnads - OSR Bestiary and Setting is where all of this begins. 

The Midderlands is an old-school game setting with bestiary for use with old-school role-playing games. It is based on Swords & Wizardry Complete, but could easily be used with other old-school systems and even non-OSR systems such as D&D or Pathfinder.

It is a green-hued, dark-fantasy, late-middle ages, early-renaissance view through grime-smeared spectacles. The setting itself is based on an area in the middle of England near where I live called The Midlands. Many of the locations are loosely based on reality, but others are pure fantasy from an addled mind.

The setting part of the book contains something I call "game-juice". Not heavy of history and monotonous detail, but enough to get the game-juices flowing and let the game master twist and tweak as they need to in order to fit their campaign.

Glynn has a Kickstarter in the works, and we will do our best to get him on The Tavern's YouTube channel for a live it does kick off.

If you don't already have The Midderlands—OSR Bestiary and Setting (and you should), don't miss out on the chance to get the PDF for 8 bucks instead of the usual 20 (still a bargain for the content you get).

Will you give up some of your Humanity to live another day?
