Supplement 1 is a broad ranging expansion of the Dragons at Dawn retro-tribute fantasy role playing game honoring the first years of adventure role playing as envisioned by gaming pioneer Dave Arneson. The contents include character class variations, alternate combat tables, new spells and rules for governing magic, expanded information on skills, morale, wilderness adventuring and a whole lot more!And for any new followers of the OSR's doings, the first book in the series:
Dragons at Dawn by D. H. Boggs. Available in Print for $15.75 and in PDF for $7.25. 64 pages.
Welcome to Dave Arnesons Basement! It’s 1971 and you’ve been invited to play this cool new game… Experience the thrill of the very first fantasy RPG adventures with Dragons at Dawn, the rule set that harkens back to the early days of adventure gaming when everything was new and the possibilities endless. Dragons at Dawn is a retro tribute to the very first fantasy gaming system pioneered by Dave Arneson, the man who later went on to co-author the worlds most popular roleplaying game. The result of years of careful historical research, Dragons at Dawn is entirely consistent with Arneson’s original, largely forgotten methods of play developed roughly in the period 1970-1973. Dragons at Dawn approaches gaming with none of the assumptions and habits developed from later rules, allowing a return to a kind of free form and open style of interaction between players and referees to develop and play whatever aspects of fantasy adventure gaming the players like best.New Stuff from the Frog God!
1 - Valley of the Hawks
The Valley of Hawks is a wooded river valley that cuts across a verdant prairie. It is named for the giant specimen of hawks that hunt along its banks and, during the Spring, blacken its skies. In the days of myth and legend, the Valley of the Hawks was inhabited by a race of giants who carved their likenesses in stone and hunted monstrous creatures using the giant hawks as their ardent companions and helpers. In the shadow of the giants dwelled the trouping elves and their erstwhile goblin enemies, fighting and feasting and making sport of life. The coming of the golden men from the west sent the proud elves and vicious goblins into hiding, for they commanded powerful magics and built a grand city of metal and crystal. But the reach of the golden men exceeded their grasp, and within a few generations their city had fallen and sent its children into the valley as orphans, and the elves and goblins worked their vengeance on them until only a few bands of the golden men, as wild and savage as the beasts, still roam the Valley. And so our adventurers arrive in the Valley of the Hawks seeking fame and fortune. Perhaps they come from northern lands or southern lands or perhaps they were born in the Valley and seek to learn its secrets and use its wealth to found a new city in the manner of the long gone golden men, a city that shines and terrifies and engraves their names forever in the stories of elves and men.
2 - The Winter Woods
When the northern men came into this land they thought they had discovered a place of limitless possibilities – sparkling streams, fertile valleys and endless acres of rich timber. They didn’t realize they would have to contend with giant beasts, rapacious lycanthropes and the mysterious black arcs that visited the land from beyond the Black Water. Strike out into this land of dire wolves and giant badgers – bring news and trade to the isolated colonies of the northern men or fight through the lands of the wolfmen to find the palace of the mythical Queen of the Winter Wind.
3 - Beyond the Black Water
Across the Black Water there is a dismal land of grey hills and eerie shadows, the home of the strange merchants of the black arcs and their weird masters. Travel to a place where sane men dare not tread and discover the secrets of an alien and unwholesome land. Demon-haunted highlands and living forests await your arrival – don’t let a lack of courage keep them waiting.Splinters of Faith - #'s 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 have been released!
Ancient Evil Awakens
In a long-buried tomb, a grave robber restores a death-cult leader to life, and his cloud of evil spreads across the land. Left behind are the broken Scepter of Faiths and a litany of shrines to restore the weapon. But the evil one and his minions wait to destroy any who try...

The Forsaken Sepulcher is An OSRIC(tm) module designed for 4-6 adventures of levels 10-14.
The ancient and fragile map found in the party's latest treasure tells of a pocket dimension, of the blasted and barren planetoid within, and of the spectacular mausoleum upon the forbidding rock. The treasure was hard won and the map obviously kept with some care, but could such be true? What type of creature would build a tomb complex so far from the very eyes such things are typically meant to impress?
Regardless the how and why of the place, the forsaken sepulcher lies out there beyond the realms of normal adventurers, waiting for brave or foolhardy explorers to step through a special gate and view it in the flesh.

The Secret of the Callair Hillsis An OSRIC(tm) module designed for 4-6 adventures of levels 3-5.
The Callair Hills are a true frontier region. Bounded to the east by impassable mountains, to the southeast by dark forests, and to the north by goblin lands, these windy hills are largely cut off from more civilized realms. If it were not for the rich veins of silver that lie close to the surface here and the passable soils, this region would have been entirely ignored throughout history.
And now something is rotten in the Callair Hills. Over 10 farms have recently been raided and the farmers slain in their homes. Their animals are left alive and either escape when food and water run low or suffer a piteous death in cages or pens sealed-fast. Most unusually, all the farms' worldly possessions are left undisturbed. There is something rotten in the Callair Hills, and it seems bent upon murder most foul...Advanced Adventures #20: The Riddle of Anadi by James C. Boney. Art by John and Daisey Bingham. 12 pages. Available in print for $12.00 and in PDF for $6.00.
The Riddle of Anadi is an OSRIC(tm) module designed for 5-7 adventures of levels 6-10.
The ancient name of Anadi is legendary among sages, mystics, and wizards throughout the land. It was the Great Sage herself who researched countless magical rituals and spells commonly used today. Yet none know what ultimately became of Anadi; rumors abound that she ascended to godhood, she was enslaved by some demon of the nether planes, or that she simply died and is buried in some long forgotten location.
Information concerning her fate was non-existent for centuries until a long lost journal written by one of her acolytes surfaced in forgotten ruins explored by enterprising adventurers. The scant information from the journal tells little of Anadi's demise other than that she finally met forces she could not control. It does, however, direct the reader to her final resting place deep in mountains infested by trolls and other creatures deemed too dangerous to battle by anyone but the most determined souls.
The most famous scholar of the largest nearby city wishes to hire intrepid adventurers to seek out the final resting place of Anadi, plunder it for its secrets, and if possible, determine what ultimately happened to the great half-elven sage. He will pay handsomely, of course, and share any discovered magical knowledge gained with the clerics and wizards of the party.
Anadi's final resting place awaits! Can your adventurers wrest the great riddle of Anadi's fate from the dust of ages?Advanced Adventures #21: The Obsidian Sands of Syncrates by Joseph Browning. Art by John and Daisey Bingham. 16 pages. Available in PDF for $7.00.
The Obsidian Sands of Syncrates is an OSRIC(tm) module designed for 6-10 adventures of levels 4-7. It was the tournament adventure at GenCon Indy 2011.
Returning from a successful trading voyage to far-away lands, the party's ship is stranded in the doldrums. After two days without any wind, the sky darkens and small particles of black ash fall like a dark snow. The party's two native guide-translators panic and begin wildly yelling, quickly whipping themselves into a fury of fear. Faster than the group can react, the two guides pull their small knives and stab themselves in the chest repeatedly as they jump over the side of the ship. Their dark-skinned bodies unnaturally sink down into the depths below the glass-like surface of the still sea as, one-byone, each party member feels an irresistible sleep suddenly come upon him.
When the party awakes, it finds itself in what appears to be a giant coliseum, their seaworthy boat stranded upon the obsidian sands that line the floor of the great arena. What foul sorcery has sent you here and how will you return to your world?

When I put the News on hiatus, I also began doing some out of print game shopping. Most notably, I've been on a Judges Guild quest! Noble Knight Games has been quite helpful and I've been entirely pleased with their service! Helpful, communicative, forthright, friendly and fast, they're a good and true alternative to the ebay game! So, a big shout-out to the folks at Noble Knight Games!

Published Digest Perfectbound Version of Characters & Combat
Now, I'm just waiting on Lulu.
Hunting for art was fun. Once you learn a few tricks, you can find some really nice Public Domain illustrations, out there. The cover piece is from an edition of Le Morte d'Arthur, illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley.
Most of the interior illustrations, come from an old edition of Ivanhoe, but I've been unable to find the name of the illustrator. Apparently, that wasn't thought of as too important and Chrome's translation of the text, provided no insights. There also appears to be two signatures, on several of the pieces. If anyone recognizes the work, let me know as I would at least like to mention the fellow.
I've been thinking of restricting my next campaign to Chainmail being the best armor available.
Dude looks all kinds of serious! The Axe makes a statement, I think.

New Cover/Title - Excerpt from the Alignment Chapter. Now awaiting my proof copy
As mentioned previously, Lulu is running a special between now and December 13. They'll send you a coupon code, worth up to $25 off of your proof copy, when you publish. Once you publish, the code must be used before any revisions are made to the book, otherwise it won't work. If you have anything laying around that you want printed, now's the time!
So, I got my first copy for just shipping costs. Cool!
Also mentioned previously, this is basically my Player's Handbook, minus spells. I may go ahead and write a spellbook, just for the sake of completeness, but then again I may not. I'm happy with my current options. Ditto for monsters. I do have some ideas for further books in the series, though.
At any rate and if nothing else, when my players ask me what game I'm running, I'll have a book to show them. :)
Alignments.
Appendix B
On Alignment
Chaotic – Chaotic beings believe that no authority or rules, should be allowed to interfere with their wills and that so-called civilization, is just another case of the strong, dominating the weak. While some Chaotic beings are respectful of life and even altruistic, if anarchistic, most tend towards wickedness.
H. P. Lovecraft described the Chaotic point of view, when he wrote:
"The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild, and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy.“The more sophisticated adherents of Chaos, actively and assiduously work to overthrow civilization and its fruits.
Neutral – Neutral beings are, for the most part, selfish, disinterested in any cosmic conflicts and are mostly out for themselves. They will uphold Law, if it is to their benefit and undermine it, for the same reason. Such beings tend to act in a more “lawful” manner, when dealing with family and friends, or, sometimes, more extended “families,” such as fellow cult members and so forth. Basically, Neutrals look out for themselves and have small-minded attitudes, about what and who constitutes their community.
True Neutral – The True Neutral, believes Law and Chaos to be necessary parts of Nature and seeks a balance of these powers and values, both within themselves and within the multi-verse as a whole. To this end, they endorse the “Law of Nature,” as they see it, which often leads towards the sort of conduct that is seen in the Neutral alignment, above. That being a more “lawful” stance towards what they see as their communities, and a “chaotic” approach to dealing with others, reflecting the sort of dominance and submission, which they see in nature: the so-called “law of the jungle.” Druids, in particular, take their interpretations to a “cosmic” level, often leading to a bizarre mixture of sophistication and savagery.

Houserule Doc on Lulu - And Another Stab at Disarm
My releasing the doc, is for the purposes of one DM talking shop with a few hundred others, not because I think I've edited the latest and greatest version of D&D. I know most of you would have already taken it that way, but for the benefit of any drive-by commentators, I thought I'd mention it.
Milieu Master Rulings: Book I - Characters & Combat is basically an alternative Player's Handbook, but without any spells included. I may or may not write my own version of the spells at a later date. In my campaign, I'm using the MU and Cleric spells from Swords & Wizardry Core 4th printing. For Druid spells, I'm using John Stater's work.
My main reason for putting this up on Lulu, is so I'll have a HC copy for myself and copies for the table. The PDF will be free. If anyone expresses an interest, I'll send the link for the print copy, which will be available at cost, $16.05. It's an 8.3 X 10.7 HC and clocks in at 42 pages, plus the covers.
The doc is written by myself, though the vast majority of the rules originally comes from OGL sources, of course. While some of my own ideas and tweaks are present, mostly this is just a re-edited version of D&D, with material drawn from the usual sources; retro-clones and OGL work of some of my fellow bloggers.
Lulu is also running a special: If you publish a book, you'll get a discount code, good for up to $25 off of your proof copy!
Disarm: A Fighter, Paladin or Ranger may attempt to disarm an opponent, who is wielding a one-handed weapon. An attack roll is made at -2 To Hit, -3 if the defender is wielding a small-sized weapon. If a hit is made, the attacker must make a Saving Throw at -3. If he rolls a true 18 or 19 To Hit, then there is no penalty to the save. A True 20 rolled To Hit, or on the attackers Saving Throw will automatically succeed with no further rolls being necessary. Otherwise, if the save is successful, the defender must then make a saving throw to hold onto his weapon.

Judges Guild Ready Ref Sheets - NEW and at Cover Price
Which brings me to Different Worlds Publications. Different Worlds have a few new Judges Guild items left for sale. All at cover price. Including the Ready Ref Sheets. $2.99. Which, I received in the mail today, along with Shield Maidens of Sea Rune! Best $2.99 I've ever spent! Some relatively minor shelf wear, which is to be expected, considering how long this has been in storage. Overall, though, a sharp copy!
I am doing the Happy Dance!
You've no doubt came across many references to this book, while tooling around different OSR blogs. It's kind of like a condensed DMG, in booklet form for OD&D. 56 pages filled with lots of random tables, encounter tables, monster stat blocks, attack & saving throw charts, construction costs, etc. If you don't have a copy and want to see what it's all about, or just want a new/back-up copy, the DWP price beats the hell out of anything you'll find on ebay! Especially for a new copy! I placed another order with DW today and went ahead and ordered me a second copy of the Ready Ref Sheets while I was at it. At $2.99, it's well worth getting a second copy of something I plan on using the hell out of!
