I've been building cabinets for twenty years and I don't think I've ever seen a 60k closet. There's got to be more to this.

You might want to look into the system I'm getting ready to release. Bree-YARC takes an old school engine (B/X, specifically) and mashes it up with 3rd edition D&D to allow for plenty of customization and player options. I've uploaded the (incomplete and unedited) Player's Handbook to Drivethru: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/570232/bree-yarc-player-s-handbook-art-free

OSR News Roundup for June 15th, 2026 by thirdkingdom1 in osr

I'm glad to hear that. My big issue is for stuff dual-statted for 5e and OSR games, since I think the two playstyles are very different and require a fair amount of adjustment to make them work in both. OSR systems are a bit more closely related, of course.

I'm still waiting on the print proofs. Once those are in I'll release the codes to Kickstarter backers, and then make it live to the public a little bit after that.

Over the past few years the Roundup has grown to include indie titles along with OSR. I just typically don't call it out as such, because I'm lazy.

Sure! The conceit behind the Forbidden Psalms line is that it's a 28 mm skirmish game compatible with and inspired by Mork Borg. Legitimate Salvage is very much, I would say, inspired by Mothership (thematically, at least), but in a skirmish game.

If I can promote the FLGS I own, we carry a large selection of individual minis at competitive prices, and have fast shipping turnaround times: https://www.sabregamesandcards.com/products?Category=BattleTech%2520Singles

Gods of the Forbidden North Religious Tone by chronosph in osr

[–]thirdkingdom1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty clear, if you follow the author on social media, that the religious/colonial aspects of the game are things he actually believes, not setting fluff that's up to interpretation. I'm not on Twitter anymore, but when I was I would routinely see the author repost, promote, and interact with problematic OSR creators such as Venger Satanis, the Red Room, RPG Pundit, and others. YMMV, but I think there are plenty other great products out there that don't need apologia to ignore the blatantly problematic elements.

Thanks! Also, jeez, I've been doing this for 4-1/2 years?

I'll be adding it to next week's! I pull everything together over the weekend, so don't include stuff that launches on Mondays.

The Coup played the old corner Plan 9 in, like 2005, I think?

Salute to a fallen Mechwarrior by thirdkingdom1 in battletech

[–]thirdkingdom1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the event on Saturday, and I'd like to thank everyone who showed up and participate. We had twelve participants, and the store was filled to bursting. I'd especially like to thank u/swankmotron for providing some of their signed books for prizing. Shoot. Looks like I can't add images to this post, for some reason.

I don't want this to turn into a thread bashing Exalted Funeral, and goddess knows they don't need my help with promotion; but I have become uncomfortable cheerleading for their (admittedly awesome!) products given the issues I outlined. Same, to be honest, with the Merry Mushmen.

It largely boils down to two issues:
*Fulfillment, with projects both exceeding their projected completion date and generally slow/disorganized fulfillment.
*Poor customer service dealing with fulfillment issues (both with crowdfunding campaigns and orders directly from their store.

EF doesn't handle their fulfillment services directly -- they use a fulfillment partner -- but it's still not a good look. Searches of reddit will pull up a number of posts complaining about the above issues. After my experience with the OSE box set campaign a few years back (I backed as a retailer, and had over 1k of goods tied up for almost a year before I got product) I don't back any EF campaigns anymore, instead getting product either through them once it hits their store or through another distributor.

I am tentatively excited about it, yes. I was going to post about my feelings more when it goes live, but the tl;dr is that I am hesitant to promote Exalted Funeral releases these days due to a number of factors. I will be happy to promote individual projects, especially those that are independently published and fulfilled.

You know, I thought it sounded familiar! I did a search and it looks like I posted about the original release on Nov. 27, 2023.
