We've reached the halfway point of June and things are starting to heat up here in Virginia. On Wednesday I'll be posting an interview I conducted with Rob Conley of Bat in the Attic games, so be sure to check out the blog for that. It's likely going to be a short one this week; I'm traveling today to get my daughter to camp, and the blog interface keeps crashing, so, if I missed something this week, I apologize. Shoot me a note and I'll include it in next week's release.

• Melfy has released the quirky Wizard-Mendicant of the Didactic Wasteland, a short entry into the Cairn Science Fantasy Background Jam. If you need an annoying wizard to pester your party with, this is your guy.
• The Crypt of Saint Wendelgard is a one page adventure for Cairn about an undead saint.
• I'd mentioned Flint, the solo adaption of Cairn 2e, awhile back. It is finally out on print on demand, and the author has released a code for 3.00 of the printed version.
• Mist & Sorrow is a Mothership fantasy hack that takes a rules-light approach to the game while retaining the "Panic Engine" mechanic.
• Red Ruin Publishing is out with Casket of Fays #16 of their Dragon Warriors fanzine. They're also delving into the world of offering pod versions, and have given me some News Roundup exclusive codes to provide: one for hardcover and one for softcover.
• Tales from the Pog Wars looks like a fun hack of Shadowdark, a post-apocalyptic, weird west setting and game.
• There's a ton of new stuff for Shadowdark out there this week, including Auxilary 2025 for Shadowdark, a release of supplemental material for SD.
• The Bochord of Blasphemy is a short dungeon crawl for Mork Borg featuring stolen scriptures and the threat that the characters need to track down and return the stolen goods or face damnation themselves.
• Zineventures 1: Deadwoods is a planned monthly zine with OSR system neutral content. This one features a necromancer stitching together with gleeful abandon the remains of dead animals and people and setting them free to terrorize the local forest.
• I had missed Defy the Gods when it launched for the first time; it didn't fund, so the creators took it down and have relaunched it. It's inspired by Conan, Clash of the Titans, and Princess Mononoke, with themes of queer resistance and survival.
• Temple of the Sheep God is a 3pp adventure for Shadowdark that centers on a single 24-mile hex. There's a dungeon and surrounding encounters.
• One of the big projects I've been waiting patiently for is Hellwhalers: The Book of Leviathan. I had promoted Hellwhalers when it was first announce, and this new release expands on this amazing game. I can't say enough good things about this game: everything is great about it, from the woodcut-style art to the theme of sailing the stygian seas in a vessel crewed by an infernal captain.
