Alpine Alarum
December 2024: This is a Germanic Holiday bestiary, featuring Frau Perchta and her Yuletide minions!
SYNOPSIS: For those who do not know her, Frau Perchta is an ancient folkloric creature, born of the pagan religious tradition in the alpine region of Germany on planet Earth. She is similar to Krampus; Grýla and The Yule Lads; the Dullahan and other fiends of
myth and legend that terrorize and teach humans lessons during the holidays. Like the Icelandic witch Grýla and Slavic witch Baba Yaga, she has a dual aspect: a beautiful maiden and a frightening crone. In keeping with her dual role, she will reward the good with a silver coin, but for
those found wanting she slits their bellies, remove their innards, and fills the cavity with straw and pebbles! She is aided by various minions, including holiday-themed constructs and her perchten: tall, muscular humanoids whose furry forms
bear horned demonic goat heads, cloven hooves and thick bushy horse tails. Are your players prepared to take on these alarming Alpine foes this Yuletide?
Frau Perchta's Pinnacle (Revised)
December 2024: Newly revised and upgraded for 2024! Face off against Frau Perchta, the beastfolk perchten and her Gingerbread and Nutcracker golems, as you quest to rescue the kids she and her minions have stolen!
SYNOPSIS: Grave misfortune strikes the village of Incendio on Midwinter’s Eve, in the form of a brutal murder of the Mayor’s wife after a series of kidnappings. The Mayor has come to your PCs to beg their assistance in investigating these
unsettling crimes. The Mayor is inconsolable and these crimes have cast a dark pall over the villagers’ Yuletide celebration. Can your players pull off a Yuletide miracle by and bring those responsible to justice?
The Crimson Pearl
November 2024: A pirate-themed city adventure set in one of the few coastal ports of The Parched Desert!
SYNOPSIS: While enjoying some downtime in the seaside desert oasis of Sokopolis, trouble and adventure have, once again, found your party. This time around it comes in the form of an official summons from a city councilor. Whisked into his august presence by an elite guard unit, you learn this councilor was, until recently, also the leader of the city’s thieves guild, and he informs you Sokopolis, and everyone in it, has a serious problem; one which only seasoned adventuring heroes can handle. It seems the councilor was forced to step aside as master of the thieves guild when the pirate crew of the Crimson Pearl, led by the vile Peg-Leg Pol, kidnapped his only son and threatened to end his life to oust him from power. Now these vile curs are running rampant, engaging in wanton acts of murder and thievery in broad daylight. He asks you to rescue his son and bring these pirates to justice before more innocents are harmed.
Will you take on the blood thirsty crew of the Crimson Pearl?
Abhainn Sí: The Pumpkin Man Returns
October 2024: The Pumpkin Man returns in this sequel to the 2018 adventure SO10 The Pumpkin Man!
SYNOPSIS: On a brisk fall morning the good folks of Unwin were making preparations for their annual Samhain festival, which everyone (and especially the children) was excited about, when calamity struck. The village was beset by a band of supernatural beings: Chaotic undead and faeries, led by a cruel fae lord known as The Pumpkin Man! In the aftermath of the attack, the defenders found structures looted and burned, several folk dead and, worst of all, a dozen children missing. Witnesses reported the bairns were carried off by the attackers. Fearing the children would be dragged off to Faerie, a militia force was sent in pursuit; all but one were slain. Now the authorities are seeking help from outsiders, to rescue the kidnapped children and end this supernatural threat.
Will you volunteer to save the day?
Saviours of The Grove
September 2024: A one-shot OSR wilderness adventure with links to interspherical travel beyond Terrans!
SYNOPSIS: The Grove of the Stone Portal has been overrun by Chaotic invaders, enemies of the Balance led by a dark wizard. While the small isle is a sacred place for the druids of Terrans, it is also the site of a secret sky portal, which gives ground dwellers access to the fabled floating city of Skyhold. The druids are sworn to protect it, but now they are seeking help from outsiders to retake the Grove, rescue one of their own and secure the portal.
Will you accept the challenge?
The Skald
August 2024: A new rules supplement adding an adventuring entertainer class to your OSR campaign!
SYNOPSIS: I am pleased to release a new rules supplement entitled, “THE SKALD”. This book features a new player character class inspired by the bards of classic gaming, and based on the Old Norse storytellers known as skalds. While these raconteurs remain loyal to their time-honoured jack of all trades origins, I’ve opened up the class with a broader selection of skills and abilities over prior iterations of this entertainer-adventurer. My skald class combines the fighting talents of a warrior, the subterfuge skills of a thief, and access to druidic and illusionist magic. To this impressive repertoire of skills, they add their own unique set of dramatic and musical talents, making them quite formidable!
Lizard Isle
