Scoundrels: Make Your Game Criminal
$20.00Running games involving crimes is fun. Many of our favorite movies, TV shows, and comics center around themes of heists, robberies, gangs, bootlegging, or even acts of extreme violence. Sometimes the protagonists are criminals trying to climb the ladder for wealth and power; other times they are “Robin Hoods”, nobly fighting injustices through their own criminal acts.
Scoundrels provides 200 unique NPCs to drop quickly into your game. Some are tied to locations, some to gangs, and others are tied to a theme. You can randomly determine NPCs or easily flip through pages. The book uses random names from 5 different real-world cultures.
There are tables for random encounters with NPCs and tables for adding friends and rivals for the characters. But I didn’t stop there. Inside are additional tables that allow the GM to create crime-related jobs and adventures for the players. There is even a step-by-step example of me creating a job.
Gary’s Appendix: Issue 1 (Print + PDF)
$18.00Gary’s Appendix is a collective effort by a creative menagerie to create a memorable zine for fantasy gamers. This is a first in a series of zines that explores the curious and fascinating parts of our beloved hobby in a way that is thought-provoking and useful.
The inspiration for this zine is the AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide. Gary wrote and collected a vast amount of information, rules, and guidance. Its haphazard nature and perplexing subjects makes it as fresh today as when he penned the work almost fifty years ago.
We do not have the audacity to believe that we can produce a work that matches that evergreen classic. Indeed, we draw inspiration from the past works of the gaming giants with no attempt to reproduce it. Gary’s Appendix about our love for the past and our excitement for the future.

Fane of the Fly God – Glossy Cover
$34.00Fane of the Fly God is an OSE supplement designed to inject the weird and the disturbing directly into the veins of your games. It overflows with the imaginative and the grotesque.
This is not a typical supplement. It does not prescribe anything. There are no “proper” adventures with these pages. This is a 50-pound bag of high quality mealworm grist for your mill.
All the components serve a narrative whole, but each part also works removed from the others. Absorb the entire cosmology or sever your favorite bits and serve them a la carte.
A delightfully grotesque dish created by adding one part Robert. E. Howard, and a handful of H. P. Lovecraft into the cauldron. Then We threw a VHS copy of the movie The Fly and stirred the mixture steadily over medium heat. Once the contents came to a boil, we threw in an armful of horror comics from the 70s, notably issues Eerie and Creepy. These had a faint, damp, mildewy smell from being in the basement for decades. We remove from the heat and let it sit until the stew thickness. We serve this dish to you garnished with maggots and season to taste with Jack Kirby.
