It was on an RPG auction FB group. Got all three for $100, which I thought was a great deal, considering the scarcity of #1

Got to say what a superbly presented set of books, I backed a load of KS so I can run the better half through some real D&D feel adventures.
It’s unbelievable, first set of rule books I haven’t wanted to tear my eyes out reading* in ages. I also love the balance between old school art yet not looking amateurish. Works of beauty.Fuckin' joy to read aren't they.
Agreed. I was completely DONE with D&D style games until I read the PDFs of OSE.It’s unbelievable, first set of rule books I haven’t wanted to tear my eyes out reading* in ages. I also love the balance between old school art yet not looking amateurish. Works of beauty.
*I don’t care how beautiful a book is if I can’t read the font due to size, text against background or you chose to write in hieroglyphs your bloody useless.
I'd definitely consider the Dolmenwood Patreon something worth mentioning.Picked up OSE and does joining their Dolmenwood Patreon count as picking up something?
If you have some patience, I doubt you are completely out of luck. Necrotic Gnome seems to do a fresh Kickstarter for the OSE line every time they run out of books to sell. I think they have done 3 or 4 so far. Sounds like they are due to run another.Agreed. I was completely DONE with D&D style games until I read the PDFs of OSE.
Now I'm kicking myself for not having joined in the Kickstarter. Those books are impossible to find at a reasonable price (with reasonable shipping) here in Canada. But the PDFs are a delight too (nice indexing and hyperlinking).
Same, I’m hoping the Dolmenwood KS next year has the opportunity to grab the core books to.Agreed. I was completely DONE with D&D style games until I read the PDFs of OSE.

I'd be amazed if the Dolmenwood campaign didn't include OSE books as add-ons. The original intent of OSE was to have a core book to use with Dolmenwood.Same, I’m hoping the Dolmenwood KS next year has the opportunity to grab the core books to.

My leatherette copy arrived the other day, it’s HUGEWeird Frontiers arrived today (weird west DCC RPG). Pics beside Pathfinder 2E Core and D&D5E PHB for point of reference.

I missed the KS but was fortunate enough to get in the order list before the books started coming in.I've watched a few videos of Weird Frontiers and it looks like a great 'little' game. I've got on the list to purchase a spare copy once all the KS ones have been fulfilled.
I got the standard version. My kids are loving it. I have little murder hobos of my own now. I was worried I'd have to come up with an adventure on the fly and withing minutes of landing in port one is firing a ballista at random, another is trying to size up if he can kill the harbormaster and roll him for cash. The last one is fighting with the first the aim the ballista. Good times. Mother was a bit horrified.Just got the new 5e Spelljammer set, alt cover version from the FLGS.
Liking how concise these books are and the interior art is a nice mix of weird and the colourful. I will try and post more interior pics and thoughts on the content in the 5e thread this weekend.

I believe I may have mentioned this somewhere on the Pub but I can't recall exactly when or where: I originally late-backed for a POD copy for non-US backers, but the shipping costs turned out to be higher than the price of the books - the POD option has been split into two books - so the publisher kindly allowed me to switch to pdf-only. In hindsight this is probably for the better as I'm never really going to run this, fun as it looks.Weird Frontiers arrived today (weird west DCC RPG).

I think it depends on driver availability in a lot of cases since they started using independent drivers.Yesterday evening my copy of Gran Meccanismo arrived from Amazon. Their deliveries seem to be getting later and later into the evenings lately.

If it's the same guy doing the evening ones, he might have changed his schedule.It's almost always been the same guy who delivers my Amazon packages for the last several months but recenly they've gone from being morning/lunchtime deliveries to evening ones.

Sorry...I did reply to this, but I didn't quote your post. So you might not have seen. Apologies!Where did you find a hard copy of Knock #1? I missed that one.
I love some GURPS. It's probably my "desert island" RPG. I know some folks find it, much like RM or Harnmaster, to be daunting because of the front-end work. But it really flows super smoothly after character creation, in my experience. The greatest strength of GURPS is that you can have exactly the character you envision. Not many other systems can accomplish that, in my opinion.Picked up the Illuminati Pocket Box Bundle from Steve Jackson Games. I plan on buying the OGRE Bundle soon. Never played GURPS, but I have played In Nomine and The Fantasy Trip. Between those and games like Car Wars, Illuminati, etc. I'd say SJG is probably my favorite game company ever.
Curious about GURPS.
I credit The Monsters Know blog with helping me attain 5e system mastery. Knowing the crunch isn't enough; he knows the crunch well enough to draw inferences which translate into gameable content.View attachment 49173
Just got these 2 in the mail today. I've had the PDF of Mythras for awhile, but decided I needed a physical copy. The Monsters Know What They're Doing is a great blog I've enjoyed for years now, so I figured I'd snag his book. It's much beefier than I thought it would be. I have a few C&C books that should come later this week.
Gran Meccanismo. Another Osprey Games RPG. Clockpunk Role-Playing in Da Vinchi's Florence. In other words, what if he had gotten to create his ideas?
Oh, I got the ONLY copy....Oh yes. I need that. Not want. I must have that.

They certainly have most of a full stable of them now, pretty much out of nowhere. The authors on these two are experienced too, though there is no house system. They don’t appear to care about that at all.Is it just me or has Osprey very quietly become a big deal in RPGs? Looking at the stuff they've released the last couple of years... there's a lot of very cool products there. I don't think there's ever been a company putting out so many different one off (more-or-less) games before.

Back in the day, it seemed like it was more common for RPG publishers to produce games with completely different systems, rather than using a house system the way many of them do now.
