2025 Hype Thread

Trespasser dropped its new playtests! OSRish procedures with grid combat a little like D&D 4e. Excited to see more from this

There’s a few things I have my eye on.

Cursed Zines #4-6 from Shadowdark are kickstarting this spring should expand options for playing that game in the Jungle, Underdark, and Urban settings. I’ve enjoyed the past entries as they offer contained regional sandboxes that are perfect for smaller campaigns that primarily centered around 1 dungeon with a distinct theme.

I also like the sound of the newly announced “Dungeon of the Undermoon” from Necrotic Gnome. As well as the rumblings I’ve heard about Brad Kerr’s new adventure for Merry Mushmen. As to whether those will actually be available this year seems like a toss up.

There’s several crowd funded adventures that I am waiting to come home to roost such as Interloper, Caverns of Thracia for DCC , and The Ghosts of Zoazanna Mountain Ditto with the Cairn 2e boxed set and Dolmenwood.

It feels like soon I’ll be spoiled for options in terms of systems and adventures.

brads new adventure (I got to playtest the first bit) is part of a bigger collaboration. its designed to be nice and easy for beginner DMs. I think its supposed to fit in as a classic OSR adventure, but a bit longer, solid and perfect for newbies. I would gather the art budget is going to be very high for it as well…

yeah I read the review as well and got quite interested in the kickstarter. It feels a lot along the vibes of projects I’m working on and seems like great inspiration. Sooo I’m stuck if I want yet another printed book of something I will not play in the end :smiley:

What is Brad’s new adventure? Is it up on KS now?

It’s going in the upcoming OSE Box set.
