What if you want to play a sinister student of the black arts like in a sword-and-sorcery pulp?
This is an alternative (and old school, in my opinion) magic-user class for those who want something a little different, influenced by Clark Ashton Smith. The Baleful Sorcerer of Tsathag'kha is compatible with the original fantasy roleplaying gameand RPGs of such ilk.

Three Swordsmen gives old school fighters a little extra something... but not the entire kitchen sink! This is old school, after all. A few interesting perks should be more than enough to keep both players and GMs happy.
Enjoy these OSR fighter/warrior alternatives, as well as, Liberation of the Demon Slayer, The Baleful Sorcerer of Tsathag'kha, and upcoming module The Islands of Purple-Haunted... [click here for more] |

"D&D in arcade mode!" ~ Prince of Nothing
This is my own heavily house-ruled hack of B/X and 5e, suitable for one-shots, convention games, virtual play, and even face-to-face campaigns. I'm currently 16-sessions into my Crystals of Chaos campaign set in the eldritch, gonzo, science-fantasy, post-apocalyptic world of Cha'alt. Check out my session reports on Venger's old school...

This is a collection of my own O5R house-rules for D&D. It's a blend of both old school, 5th edition, and my own special sauce. For best results, use with my eldritch, gonzo, science-fantasy, post-apocalyptic campaign setting CHA'ALT.

I've just launched a new Kickstarter for my upcoming book, The Cha'alt Experience: Designing Worlds Like A Fucking Boss. Check it out!
[I decided to make this a freebie because A) it's incredibly important to the development of D&D's combat evolution, and B) this content is already included in Cha'alt: Chartreuse Shadows]

As I did with Crimson Escalation about a year ago, I'm now making Obsidian Escalation free for every DTRPG customer, as I believe it's an important evolution in the O5R design school that seeks to elevate story and player-agency within that "storygame" sphere... without the expectant storygame garbage that usually comes with it.
Also, now's the time to grab your weekend... [click here for more] |

This is a different kind of Alpha Blue... for starters it's D20; it's also not quite as silly. Yeah, this version is darker and grittier than the original. Just as sleazy, though! Maybe you've played Alpha Blue before, maybe you haven't. Either way, I'd love to know what you think of this version.
I'm hoping to playtest and get feedback on Alpha... [click here for more] |

Dirty space opera has never looked so clean... and organized!
This is a two-page spread for managing your Alpha Blue campaign. Obviously, I intended it to be used for sleazy scifi, specifically... however, there's nothing stopping you from using it to keep track of influences, details, NPCs, and locations for any scifi RPG.
The second sheet got added moments ago and includes 23... [click here for more] |

This started as a small community project and grew into a really strange collection of random tables inspired by the Mad Max movies and that Thundarr the Barbarian episode, "Challenge of the Wizards." The main table is a d100 collection of weird, gonzo, sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptic encounters that death racers may stumble upon during their race.
While I specifically tailored Death Race:... [click here for more] |

This little PDF is a re-boot of the Crimson Dragon Slayer RPG. It takes two steps back and one in a slightly new direction. Less comedic, gonzo, 80's references and more dark, weird science-fantasy.
The rules were written as ultra-light as possible, taking more of an Alpha Blue RPG approach. I wanted something that could be demonstrated in one hour, a taste... [click here for more] |
