Five Swords has a ton of uses from adding in several NPC magical blades and their history to creating brand new artifacts in the form of swords to add just that extra little bit of shine to that treasure hoard.
According to the Drivethrurpg blurb: 

  Five Swords is exactly what it sounds like - writeups of five enchanted swords suitable for use making a treasure hoard more sought after, or to make a villain more feared!.

  Five Swords has writeups for the holy sword Whitestaff, the thief's sword Stardust, and killer's sword Orphanmaker, plus two more.

On the surface this title does exactly what it says on the title but more then that the Five swords adds that little extra edge of magical sword goodness to an adventure but don't make these swords that easy to aquire during game play. Place these swords within dragon hoard, as part of collections belonging to vile villains or give these swords to NPC's who need a magic sword with an impressive set of minor and useful powers. And that's one of the things that separates this from other OSR products. These swords are actually damn useful for game play. They should be the cherry on top of any hoard's gathering of gold, gems, and silver pieces.
Because of the way that 'Five Swords' is written there is a ton of room to modify these items to your heart's content and allowing you as a DM to make and customize these swords as your own. There is a sense that these are magic swords that are meant to see use by your PC's.
That brings up the question of balance,Five Swords definitely has its collective eyes as a product to providing you with set of swords that can easily be modified to fit your needs as a DM. 

The items are very accurately described and are completely plug and play allowing a DM freedom to drop these swords right into an Advance Labryth Lord campaign, OSRIC, AD&D 1st Edition, or even an Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea campaign. The fact is that only one of these swords should appear within a campaign. Seriously these are swords that should only show up once every two years or so of game play. They're well balanced and written items with plenty of DYI editing room so you can sneak these swords right into the middle of your carefully aligned campaign with a ton adventure hooks built right into each item. 

All in all I think that this a download with your time and your attention as a DM. Go and gran this one today!

Soul Forged Armor For The Basic Fantasy Role Playing or Your Old School Campaigns

 Grab It For Free Right
HERE
There are times when a DM needs something a bit more well special then the usual 'magic sword' that we get in OD&D and basic.I stumbled across this particular take on the magic sword the other night.
According to the PDF : 

Soul Forged Armor is armor that has been infused with the soul of a warrior or paladin. It is usually created for a specific purpose. That purpose can be good, or evil. It can be specific (eg. A Soul Forged Lich Slayer would be created for the express purpose of slaying Liches), or it can be more general (Soul Forged Armor of Chaotic Good). It can be forged for a specific group within a game world. Often, an order of Holy Warriors will choose one of their greatest, and have his soul forged into armor so that he can be called upon in time of dire need.
This idea is simply the bare bones of a very cool idea that can easily be fleshed out in a game such as Lamentations of the Flame Princess or Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea as a type of lost magical artifact that while powerful cares with it an air of the sinister and more then slightly weird.
Its really only two page pdf with some interesting and very respectable high ideas that adds a bit more flare to the idea of the magic sword which is already steeped in real world myth and legend.
Its always the little touches such as these that bring home the classic tropes of old school sword and sorcery. With a bit of conversion this article can serve as a nice set of old school mythological guidelines to create an other aspect of the dark fantastic for your old school D&D game. Not too shabby a free download at all that infused with a sword and sorcery classic piece of gaming meta mythology.

The chalice's spirit  is able to provide insights, guidance, and wisdom in the form of dreams and illusions every new moon but the owner of the chalice must engage in prayer and rites of the chalice every day. They must forgo marriage and procreation for the rest of their lives. The spirit demands fidelity in its owners for the good of the familial lines and once every 1d8 years calls these families together to observe the travels it has made. The cup is now lost.

Those who handle the cup will be tainted by it. And will become of low undeath aspect after death. 
9. Hagodrimanguna - This cup will change and liquid poured into it to pure spring water. The cup of prophecy as it is known has yet to have its powers unlocked and waits its rightful owner.

Slicing Deeper Into The Free Download of Issue One Of Underworld Lore From Gorgon Milk and Co.

Get It Right Over
HERE 
Gorgon and crew did a fantastic job of breaking down some great D30 tables, weird fungus, undead options and more all in 25 pages of tomb rattling fun!
 Much of this material focuses on dungeon dwelling denizens and the diseases which infect them. I've been re examining the material for adapting it to a number of different settings including sword and sorcery. Many of the tables and articles are perfect for a long abandon city, urban environments, and adding just a bit more weirdness to some of the more prosaic dungeon encounters.
Basically I've been looking into the after effects of 'The Green Death' in AS&SH And many of the pathogens that seem to come down the pike in many of the swords and sorcery settings that I've been using lately.
I've also applied much of this material to more modern settings with some pretty interesting results. Horror gaming often seems to hang on surprise. The problem is that role players always seem to have 'been there gotten the tee shirt' and don't comeback for more. With games like Call of Cthulhu (which is awesome by the way). The pressure is on to do something different. That's where magazines like 'Underworld Lore' help fill the gap. If you've got 20 minutes before your players arrive and need something special. Here you go.
The weirdness factor alone is sure to stir more then a bit of interest among some of my more shall we say 'jaded' players.
 All in all the issues of 'Underworld Lore' that I've seen have been very well thought out, expertly edited, and get straight to the point of Old School Gaming. The run of these magazines has been perfect for throwing a few curve balls at even the most experienced players and always seems to make them come back for more.
 Did I mention that the issue is free and does all of this in twenty four pages?  

1d10 Unholy Sacrificial Knives For Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea

The blades had been worked from the 'holy place'. The rock and stone worked with skill and dedication to their bloody and demanding god. The priests began to chant and the long process of creating the sacred tools had begun.
It would take them twelve cycles of the little moon to complete their task but the power of their ancient and unholy gods sustained them. Each one would be imbued with a different talent for the taking of the flesh, blood, and spirit from the sacrifice.
Each one would be worked by fire, skill, and a bit of their own blood as well as their spirit. They would live on through their tools. The jungle witnessed their workings as it had countless times as the moons crossed the skies of Hyperborea.
 There are other blades made by a thousand cultures. 

Here are some examples.

1d10 Unholy Sacrificial Knives

1. Yruitro - This blade of quartz and flint is wrapped in preserved human intestines and sings as a bird while it goes about its work. The thing is +2 when cutting through the flesh of sacrifices and is as sharp as a surgical instrument. The thing will be greedy having been buried for far too long in the soil. There is a 40% chance of it trying to cut its finder and bleeding them out right there with their own hand. 
2. Zimru The Greedy One - This blade of midnight black obsidian is always ready. The person wielding it gains a +2 on initiative and it cuts as a +1 dagger. The blade is imbued with the spirit of the priest who wielded it. He no longer remembers the ancient gods he once served only that there must be blood and sacrifice. His crippled and insane ghost hovers around this blade. 
3. Yunus The Ghost Taker - This blade was made by Norse men and its blade is made of wrought iron and forged from the cold ice of unmelting snow fires. The thing hungers for blood and souls. It is a +2 weapon and turns its wielder into an cannibalistic berserk who rage at each full moon. He shall regenerate as a troll and turn to Chaotic Evil in word & deed. The blade will ever be at his side until he is killed by fire. 
4. Resuro The Butterfly - This blade was created by fire and lightning at the heart of a volcano dedicated to the butterfly gods of Chaos. The blade gives its bearer immunity to fire and flame. The bearer must seek out the helpless and feeble to slay. The blade is +1 but thirsts for blood for its unholy gods. The wielder will always have murder in their mind and heart, always lurking for the moment to strike. 
5. Hrtyru The Crow - This blade has been forged from the discarded remains of many nations by Pictish war priests. The thing will seek out the hand of a warrior wronged by civilized man in battle. It will act as a +1 dagger in all respects. But the thing craves the eyes of men. It will make its wielder eat the eyes of his victims and know their memories. These memories will stay with the wielder for 1d4 hours then they will want to repeat the experience. 
6.  Eirrrush The Wandering Skinner - This skinning blade was forged from the molten heart of a meteor by the hand of a minor god. This skinning knife was passed down through many tribes of the East until finally it was lost to legend. The thing seeks the skins of man and those wielding it must cut the skins of their victims off after battle. The knife grants +2 on strength and dexterity in the form of a rush of orgasmic battle fury before a battle but the rites must be observed afterwards. Failure to do so means a minor curse upon the wielder until he makes amends to the knife's spirit. 
7. The Iron Scalpel of Jruru The Butcher - This never rusting  scalpel of bone, quartz, and iron  was once an instrument of healing but its owner healed a murderous berserk unknowingly and his spirit passed into the owner. Jruru The Butcher is the name of both the blade and the spirit within. The blade was finally lost in a harbor someplace in the West. The owner was burned at the stake pleading his innocence. There is a type two demon living within this blade. It will have access to all of its usual powers after possessing the wielder after 1d4 days. In all respects this is +2 blade of sharpness otherwise. 
8. Jachale The Jade Heart Taker - This blade of iron wood was carved from the god tree Jachale and flaked with many pieces of lost jade. The blade is the home of a multitude of ghosts who crave blood for their god. They feel that somehow this will free them from their wooden prison. It never does.
   The blade acts as a +1 dagger but once per day the user may use the pass wall abilities of a ghost. He will have many of the minor abilities of a ghost. These are not without a price however. The user must drink the heart blood of an innocent after three months. Within 1d8 months of using this blade. The wielder must pray to Jachale or join the spirits within the blade itself. 
9. Xrruruer The Spirit Taker - This blade was forged from the wedding gifts of Xrruruer a princess of a long extinct people. She is cursed to wander across the world in the form of a blade after betraying her family to Cthulhu as a sacrifice.
   Those wielding this blade will be in contact with her spirit and possessed of a longing romantic interest with this unholy thing. She will demand the souls of the wielder's victims. Those slain by this blade will erupt into a mass of horrid tendrils as the victim's soul is sucked into the void to be devoured.
   The blade may harm things not able to be harmed by normal weapons but wielder can not rid themselves either the blade or Xrruruer herself. Her knowledge and power will be passed to the wielder for a time( those are up to the DM). 
10. The Blade of The Mad Sultan - This blade of iron and quartz has been dedicated to the demon sultan god himself. Those who wield it are themselves forfeit to the mad thing. It acts as +1 dagger but will slay any being. Those who wield it will themselves have their very souls consumed. The thing supposedly has a fate to slay a city. It has not been seen in many centuries. Its legends are lost to Hyperborea
