From the imagination of Courtney Campbell, creater of the popular OSR blog Hack & Slash, comes a terrifying new adventure for characters level 6 to 8.
The Eye Is Opening.
Thousands of years ago, living gods named Khepri wielded powers beyond understanding. Their bizarre magics rived a rent in reality itself. This portal—the Oculus—led to the deepest realms of Chthonic Darkness, but it was not yet fully open. Malign forces, opposed to all life, infested the Oculus, and waited. The Khepri kept vigil over the Oculus till time moved her hand. When the Khepri vanished in the Day Without Night, their Elven epigones took up the watch. In time, the Elves were conquered by the diabolic Thrassian race, and they in turn were subjugated by the Zaharans. Through the millennia, the caretakers of the Oculus studied, waited, and watched.
Now the Awakening is near, the Spheres are coming into alignment, and the Oculus is beginning to open. The dark power is reaching out and for the first time in an age the Eyrie of the Dread Eye is accessible again. As the Eye opens, reality itself comes under further and further strain. And as rumors of a new valley containing an underground forgotten city filled with untold riches spread out from the Dark Wall, the Oculus continues to open ever wider.
Eyrie of the Dread Eye is a ready-to-play adventure scenario presented for use with the Adventurer Conqueror King System™ (ACKS) and other d20-based fantasy role-playing games. Discover the vast ruined eyrie of the Oculus and take a stand against the coming Awakening.
High-resolution printable maps are included in a separate .zip file. You can use these maps for Roll20 or similar platforms, or print them out for your table.

Elegant Fantasy Dungeon Generator by Raphael Sadowski. Published by Nine Tongues Tales. Available from DriveThruRPG in PDF for $2.50. 21 pages.Dungeons. Skeletons of majority of OSR games.CASTLE OLDSKULL - Oldskull Anti-Paladins by Kent David Kelly. Available from DriveThruRPG in PDF for $2.99. 54 pages.
Having a prepared dungeon is everything you need to run at least one game. Having a GOOD, detailed dungeon, filled with treasures, strange creatures and wandering monsters can suffice to keep your group entertained for weeks.
As always with my "Elegant Fantasy" series, you roll for inspiration, not stats. If we’re both lucky, then this book will inspire you, and help you create a fun adventure for your players, one that they will remember for a long time.
Have fun,
Beyond mortal comprehension,
Beyond redemption,
Some insidious fiends
Just want to watch the world burn …
Ofttimes controversial, always vexing, but never boring, the ANTI-PALADIN is a specialized chaotic evil fighter sub-class which represents an irrepressible remnant order of the unholy black knights of yore. Whereas paladins represent ultimate light and the might of purity, anti-paladins are the harbingers of abyssal darkness, despair, and overpowering evil.
Anti-paladins were introduced to the game in 1980 and were even briefly made official by accident (via the 1981 fiendish bestiary) before being relegated to oblivion. They only ever returned in a sanitized form as the diluted “Blackguard.” But for those who want to include and glorify the original iconic class as first presented in a Draconian magazine almost 30 years ago, this supplement — likely the most detailed treatment of anti-paladins ever created — should be received with delectation.
The class has been reimagined and fully expanded upon within the context of the World of Oldskull campaign (as featured in the Oldskull Adventure Generator and other tomes), with elaborations pertaining to demonic worship, the enigmatic Knights of Saigoth, and the Great Old Ones who represent the Cthulhu Mythos. Systems featured in this old school gaming supplement include: a history and literary justification of the class (using Lord Mordred as a primary exemplar, among others), an overview of the Arthurian Knights Perilous, demonic empowerment and vigil systems, level titles, weaknesses, powers, spell casting rules, and ruling clarifications (based for example on a contemplated inversion of official Sagely paladin rulings made throughout the years).
Lacking in lechery or gore yet replete with sinister gothic atmosphere, the reimagined Oldskull Anti-Paladin is a perfect villainous archetype rendered for your enjoyment as a Non-Player Character, or even as a PC option pending Game Master approval.
However you decide to play them, I can assure you that your players will never forget these terrible nemeses. Why not give your most skilled and daring players a challenge, and a nefarious villain they’ll love to hate?

White Box: Eastern Adventures by Mark Tasaka. Published by Tasaka Games. Available from DriveThruRPG in PDF for Free. 126 pages. (Print edition forthcoming.)Welcome to the days of old… to a time when adventurers were ordinary people, who took up this dangerous calling to accumulate hordes of treasure from monster filled dungeons. But be warned, adventuring is truly a dangerous profession here; dungeons are filled with deadly traps and even deadlier monsters. Most adventurers will perish on their first few adventures; those that survive have learnt the importance of knowing when to fight, when to run and when to rely on hirelings to get the job done. Take a step forward, if you dare, and enter a world of exotic dragons, talking cats and hungry ghosts with unending appetites… take a step forward and enter the world of ‘White Box: Eastern Adventures.’
‘White Box: Eastern Adventures’ is based on the simple and creative game play mechanics of the first incarnation of the ‘World’s Most Famous Role-Playing Game’. This game is set in a world inspired by Japanese mythology and folklore; a setting where social status and prestige are just as important as treasure and gold. Thus, the goal of adventuring is more than accumulating wealth; it is also about gaining merit and honour in a status conscious society.

Do you yearn for the days of optimistic, action-packed but thoughtful sci-fi? Vintage Space is a new OSR space opera game currently in dvelopment. This is the first PDF release of the game, though we've been gettin a LOT of feedback from the community.Men and Monsters Book 1: The Unseen (for The Front) by Robert Garitta. Published by Surreal Estate Games. Available from DriveThruRPG in PDF for $0.80. 15 pages.

It's really that easy. Thre are no feats to consider, no advancement trees, nothing.
Making yoru own starship is even easier!
Individual combat plays out on a standard hex map, but space combat uses an abstract, theater of the mind style. Instead of trackign acceleration, energy use and so on, each character decdes what they want to do to help and rolls to succeed. That's it.
The setting of Vintage Space is familiar to anyone who is a fan of live action science fiction produced from the 60s to the 90s.
This is a free playtest, but we appreciate tips. This goes towards helping us get the game ready for production. There are big things ahead for Vintage Space. Based on a flood of positive feeback and the enthusiasm of a growing community, we're going to Kickstart the game in a few months, with some very cool products on the way.

This scenario and others will be released with that product upon its completion. This product does not require A Dark and Salient Land.
Requires ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG from Grim & Perilous Studios, however.
Travel through the forests of the Zizka Valley is far from safe. Between the beasts of the wild, monsters of eldritch and corrupt evils, and numerous bandit lords and their troupes, there is much to fear. While a sufficiently sizable, armed, and vigilant party can expect to frighten away or stave off most dangers, this is not always the case. Most robbers and bandits will balk at the notion of anything near a fair fight and pick their prey accordingly. This is not so for Robber Baron Karl Duval.
Duval and his crew are known to target travelers, caravans, and brigades of essentially all sizes, from the poorest wayfaring peasant, to the most modest and well-guarded merchant, to even wagon trains carrying Imperial troops and supplies. Far from foolish and reckless, such attacks are quick, organized, and surgical in their tactics- never mind staggering in their ferociousness and shocking in their brutality.
Gaunt, cruel, serious, and a voyeuristic sadist, Duval now resides in a fortress somewhere in the wilds of the Valley. He must be put down.

This adventure is designed for use with Cepheus Engine and The Frontiers of Space.
Welcome to Issue 23 of the Rolemaster Fanzine.
This month I have been getting rather excited about adventures. As you will know I have taken it upon myself to create starting adventures for RMu. The new game system is due for release at some point in 2019 and the one thing that a role playing game needs is adventures.
I have more adventures detailed on the blog than I have published so far in the fanzine. It occured to me this week that if you forget the idea of producing 12 starting adventures to give GMs a broad choice of starting points but rather put them together in a structure we are already part way to building a bigger adventure.
I don’t want a linear railroad. What I am thinking is a starting point, the adventure in this issue, Revenge! At the other end the adventure will conclude with City of Forgotten Heroes and the penultimate step and then a final showdown.
Sandwiched between these bookends will be a number, as yet unknown adventures. The intention is that these unknown adventures will be party size and party level independent. They will also be position neutral so as GM you pick the ones you like and do them in the order that works well for your group.
Making them level independent also means that you don’t have to push your players through adventures they don’t really want to do to simply earn enough experience points.
So this is the plan. It is slightly different to what I had envisioned in January but this structure means that if I formally create City of Forgotten Heroes and the showdown. Then with just one of the in between adventures you have a viable Adventure Path even if it is rather short. Each month from that point on the path becomes both longer and more sophisticated.
So that is my new mission and it all starts with Revenge!

Free Rain: An Introductory Module for Stars Without Number by Dominic Moore. Available from DriveThruRPG in PDF for $2.49. 9 pages.When a dog comes running to the players looking for attention, what dangers will they be led to?
The Dog That Would Not Bark is an OSR adventure for Swords & Wizardry White Box, although it can be easily adapted for most classic OSR systems. The adventure is designed for a party of four adventurers of any race and class, and can be inserted into your existing campaign quite easily, no matter what world you’re gaming in.
Designed for the Swords & Wizardry ruleset, but it can be easily adapted to most OSR systems.
This is an introductory module for 3-5 1st level characters using the Revised Edition of the Stars Without Number ruleset.The module is intended for two purposes: first, to bring a group of PCs together to start a campaign as well as provide them (if all goes well) with a ship, and second, to introduce the player and the GM to the mechanics of the Stars Without Number game.
To that end, this short introductory adventure features opportunites for skill checks, ground combat, hacking, starship navigation, spaceship combat, pursuit, and evasion. This will help players get a feel for the game. It also includes page referances and reminders to the GM.
It can also be played as a one-shot to “test the waters” of the SWN revised rules.

Winter's Daughter published by Necrotic Gnome. Now available for Pre-Order from the Publisher in Print/PDF combo for €12,00. 24 pages (B/X) 36 pages (5e.)Winter's Daughter—The New Dolmenwood Adventure
Deep in hoary old Dolmenwood, a long-forgotten burial mound looms behind a ring of standing stones where the sinister Drune congregate. Within the tomb lie the treasures and mortal remains of the knight Sir Chyde. Folklore knows him as a hero of the wars of mortal against fairy, in ancient times, when men and women finally wrested dominion of Dolmenwood from the frigid grasp of the cruel Cold Prince.
A tempting site for those who seek to unravel the secrets of the past (or just rob tombs). But those who intrude upon the quiet sanctity of the tomb may awaken forces long dormant. Sir Chyde was secretly betrothed to a fairy princess and daughter of the Cold Prince, and their souls have waited—beyond time and death—for the day when they may be reunited.
Can your band of heroes or ne'er-do-wells unravel the riddles of the tomb of the giant-slayer?

At times, an author or publisher may send me a complimentary copy of an item, for purposes of review. This is not a requirement for a product's inclusion in these posts.
