Troika! is a great game. So when I saw there was a Troika! jam, the first thing I thought to do was to combine it with the 1928 jam.

Little OSR things! Mostly links to stuff I created for Secret Santicore / Jackalope, plus some random tables.

Spider Children
Well, I've joined a ton of itch.io TTRPG jams and it's made me weirdly productive on the gaming front. So, let's talk about the two things I released recently.

Hopepunk_24
So, this little freebie / PWYW game is a solution to a problem: I was in the Hopepunk Jam, and had only 3 hours to go. And I was also in this 24 Word RPG Jam...
So, a 24 word Hopepunk RPG.

What's in Their Pockets? (Post-Apocalyptic) d20
Here is TWO random tables written entirely by me, with no help from others. Well, other than the giants whose shoulders I stand on...
In any case, both tables use a d20. The genre is post-apocalyptic. One is for "normal" things you'd find in pockets, and the other is for rare and/or weird things.

Shameless Plugs: Derelict Transdimensional Anomaly
So, hey, are you in the market for a free one page science fiction system neutral pointcrawl? Well, you're in luck!
https://itch.io/jam/one-page-derelict-jam-2024
I'm going to use this blog entry to add some thoughts about the adventure that didn't fit on one page, things I de facto cut because I knew they wouldn't fit.

Shameless Plugs: BBB10 and Occult Space Ravens
For the first time in five years, I've produced one of my tiny Black Box Books supplements for Swords and Wizardry WhiteBox. It's called Black Box Books Tome Ten: Jungles and Jaguars.
For 98 cents, you get new tables, new monsters (yes, including jaguar stats), a new Fighter subclass / variant, and a new race (a take on jaguarfolk, naturally). As usual, there's a full size version and a tiny, foldable pocketmod included, not to mention a plain text version for your cut and pasting delight.
Oh, and this is my first time using the Mythmere Games AELF license, a replacement for the OGL, for those who care about such things. 😉

d10 Surreal Encounters in Faerie
As I've mentioned a few times by now, there is a great channel on the OSR Discord server called #dice-democracy where you can crowdsource random tables. I'm presenting tables that I started, now that they're finished.
Therefore, this isn't 100% my work; the people on the server are very creative when it comes to stuff like this. I remain very grateful for them putting up with my ideas for tables.
This should be the last one for a while; I've caught up with all the tables on the server that I've started.

Disturbing sounds that one does not want to hear alone in the dark in an English-speaking country in the 19th century, or a setting like that.

Setting Via Equipment Lists (Santicorn 2023)
It's time for Secret Santicorn!
I got this prompt: "Characterize a number of different settings - as far apart as you'd like - via equipment tables only. Bonus points the more specific the tables."
I was pleased to get this one, because trying to imply setting with equipment tables is something I want to be able to do, and have experimented with a little already.
So, here I've got two links to two different versions of the same thing. A Google Doc, and a PDF, in case the fonts in the Google Doc don't work for y'all.

Settlement Names for FORGE
I wrote this for FORGE, but it works for any OSR game, really. And a few other games besides.

Serpico in Space! Or Something.
Secret Santicore 2017!
Prompt: An encounter table for 1970s New York City, except the genre is space opera and people are just getting used to visiting aliens and future tech.
I have this as a DOCX, but it's prolly easier to just cut and paste it here. Also, in this version I've corrected a couple of errors and tried to make it a little clearer.
Serpico in Space! Or Something.
Soluble Sahuagin
12 OSR monsters. 200 words, not counting the title. Written in 2016, IIRC.
I later used some of these for my "Strange but Useful Critters" entry for Secret Jackalope 2022.
