New Release - Bite the Bullet

Time to show connections. I've known Jason Hobbs for over a decade. He's a skilled creator and a good friend. Bite the Bullet is Jason's latest release.

Bite the Bullet is nominally Marked by the Odd. The feel and aesthetic are familiar, and it is heavily inspired by We Deal in Lead by Colin Le Seur. What makes BtB different is its tight mechanics for physical, social, and faith conflicts in a post-apocalyptic western environment.

Struggling to survive is paramount, regardless of creed or heritage. Conflict is gritty and dangerous. Characters are differentiated by their characteristics, rather than statistics or even gear.

Buckle on your gun belts, strap on your spurs, and tighten your hat on your head. The ride is about to get bumpy.

Bite the Bullet is priced at PWYW at itch.io

New From The Tavern - Minor Miscellaneous Magic

Shire Con is this coming weekend, and that means it's time for Game Prep for my two sessions. Now, I tend to run low-level adventures, but even low-level characters enjoy having some magic item(s) to play with. And let's be honest, everyone finds a +1 something or other. But that's boring, so I created some tables for Minor Miscellaneous Magic.

How about a Lantern of Thin Truths: Once/day reveals faint outlines of concealed doors within 30’ for 1 turn.

Or maybe a Vial of Fresh Air (3 Uses): Uncork to clear smoke/foul air/ poison gas in a 10’ cube for 1 turn.

I really like the Snuffbox of Gentle Sleep (6 Uses): Sprinkled herbs grant restful sleep in poor conditions (not magical sleep). Treat as sleeping at an inn for healing.

There are 12 total in the All Class Miscellaneous Magic Sheet, free to download at:

You don't need to subscribe or be a member to download this PDF.

The class sheets (4 sheets of 12 Misc Magic Items each) are behind the monthly $1.99 paywall.

I'm hoping to get 2 to 4 free sheets - one-page dungeons, NPCs, creatures, magic, etc, for "generic" OSR posted per month, and likely 5 to 15 sheets per month behind the paywall.

If there's enough interest, I'll release them under the CC0, but you'll need to leave comments here or on the YouTube post to let me know.

Deal of the Day - Winter's Daughter (OSE)

If it's written for OSE, it will fit with pretty much any OSR system. In this case, Winter's Daughter comes in two flavors - OSE and Dolmenwood - and comes with two files.

Today's Deal of the Day is Winter's Daughter for OSE/Dolmenwood for $5 in PDF (usually $10). It's a low-level adventure coming in at 24 AND 32 pages - both ruleset flavors are included.

The tomb of an ancient hero, lost in the tangled depths of the woods. A ring of standing stones, warded by the sinister Drune cult. A fairy princess who watches with timeless patience from beyond the veil of the mortal. A forgotten treasure that holds the key to her heart.

Winter’s Daughter is a romantic fairy tale adventure designed for characters of Level 1–3. Presented in a quick-reference format, the adventure is easy to run with minimal prep.

Rules Editions of Winter's Daughter:

This product includes two versions of the adventure:

For the Dolmenwood RPG. 32 pages long, with additional art.

For Old-School Essentials. An older version of the adventure, 24 pages long.
