Happen Upon, a Traveling Merchant is representing us at Hal-Con in Halifax, Nova Scotia this weekend. We know how much authors and publishers like booth pictures, so here you go:

128 pages of the Treasure Overhaul, now available on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/143059... Page after page of never-before-seen WIP items, spells, and the entire Sage chapter.

Today, come with me to the Marish: the boggy and fertile farmland at the eastern borders of the Shire. Visit Farmer Maggot (you will not be his strangest guest) or see if you can unravel the mysteries of the haunted Deephallow House.

1/2. What should the 20th category of Ch. 1 of the Treasure Overhaul be? So far: 1. Weapons 2. Armour 3. Helms 4. Clothing 5. Tools 6. Potions 7. Arrows 8. Drums 9. Scrolls 10. Wands 11. Rods 12. Staves 13. Rings 14. Stones 15. Cubes 16. Books 17. Furniture 18. Transport 19. Legendary 20. ???

Cursed [non-branded head-orbiting] stones.

Two full-page Treasure Overhaul previews in one week?

Scrolls from the Treasure Overhaul.

Affinity's big announcement: AI slop. Hooray. Just what literally no one asked for.

Testing out a compact treasure table. Since the average value of a complex roll can be misleading, I've added a d10 multiplier table to spice up the average if you don't feel like rolling normally.

More math! More gems! More striving for an elegant and broadly compatible treasure table procedure. coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/10/osr-...

Spending my Sunday squinting at charts. For Treasure Type A, OD&D and AD&D have fairly similar values and distributions, despite using different methods. OSE, though, with its fixed (3d6x100gp) jewellery value and 50% chance of 1d2x1,000 platinum pieces, has a very different curve.

Hooray, math! coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/10/osr-...

Here's a tweaked version I'm using for OD&D. Might be handy. @dysonlogos.bsky.social as usual gets all the credit for an excellent and timeless design.

I've also created an OD&D hexcrawl. www.patreon.com/posts/od-d-h... Not every hex is keyed, but major locations are included, treasure is pre-rolled, and some emergent factions and quests are ready to go.

I wrote a 3-level OD&D dungeon. The key is available on Patreon. It's not fancy, it's not complicated, but it is a dungeon, and sometimes that's all you need: www.patreon.com/posts/od-d-o...

Myths, Legends, and Folktales to sprinkle into the background of your setting.

And, of course, some standard adventuring crimes.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the Watch, who investigate crime; and the Judicial Minotaurs, who disembowel the guilty. These are their stories.

So "Zone of Truth" makes trials trivial, eh? Well not anymore.

Why hire an expensive doctor when magical healing is available? Let the expensive doctor offer some unbiased reasons.

Still working on the Treasure Overhaul. Here's a preview of the Sages chapter. Enhance your alchemists.

Xiximanter from Tomb of the Serpent Kings by @skerples.bsky.social currently enabling the party’s magic-user to be very normal and lawful #dnd #osr

Blog post: coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/05/pulp... Featuring land crabs, shipwrecks, duelling ocean liners, buried treasure, lost princes, scurvy, comets, and very lonely beetles.

I owe a big thanks to the Between Two Cairns crew for having me on to gush about how much I love “Kidnap the Archpriest” by @skerples.bsky.social! Shout out to @iheartfargo.bsky.social for introducing me to this incredible piece of adventure design!

1d8 Dangerous Techno-Relics, because sometimes, the loot has to be worth fighting for. Some items will alter the setting. Some will alter the map.

415 Medieval Questions from Sidrak and Bokkus coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/04/sidr...

Techno-Trinkets, for your fallen earths or time-blasted settings. What will the PCs do with the Hand Punishment Pain-Cube (Toaster) or the Rolling Sky-Pulpit (Scissor Lift)?

1d20 sci-fi grenades, for OSR games with crashed starships or dangerous fruit trees. Picking up an unlabelled bag and throwing them at enemies is not required, but it is traditional.

High Tech weapons, for those times when generic medieval-ish OSR PCs loot a downed spaceship, extort a time traveller, etc.

@mellonbread.bsky.social has created six perfect mini-adventures inspired by the Monster Overhaul (and then extended by craft). bellenmred.blogspot.com/search/label... I should write a full blog post on these at some point, because they're spectacular. Little perfect jewel boxes of OSR design.

Reminder that The Monster Overhaul is the greatest TTRPG monster book ever and if you are runnning anything resembling old school fantasy setting, this book is a must own. As soon as I first opened it I thought, "why isn't every other bestiary designed this way?"

Even more WIP items from the Meatworld section of the Treasure Overhaul, including some cursed items. Well, they're all a little bit cursed, but these ones are _properly_ cursed.

I've owned the PDF for a while but I'm pumped to finally get my hands on a physical copy most helpful and utilitarian dungeon bestiary of the modern age! (It's @skerples.bsky.social Monster overhaul. obivously.)

Consumable items from the Meatworld section of the Treasure Overhaul. A sprinkling of body horror to season your game.

Still working on the Treasure Overhaul. Here are some items from the "unusual theme" section of the book. Specifically, the Meatworld (temp. name) section. Arms, Legs, Glands, and Organs. For exiled biomancers, daemonic surgeons, and wizards with wriggling things in jars.

#TTRPG prep time and no hag template fits. The Monster Overhaul by @skerples.bsky.social saves my arse once again. 6d10 later & I have a grandmother Leannán Sídhe that is going to wipe the floor with my OP, min-maxing, #Spelljammer group today. Bringing Twilight Clerics down to Earth since 2025. 😈

It's incredible that Tomb of the Serpent Kings is available in eight languages. coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2017/06/osr-... All completely free!

Єй, нарешті підтвердження публікації на @drivethrurpg.com і разом з цим нова версія з виправленнями! #нрі www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

https://buff.ly/4jAkb4K 気になるモンスター本。基本的にはOSR(AD&D1e、あるいは赤箱D&Dベースのクローン)のモンスターデータなんですが、用意されているチャート類などが基本システム非依存なので『モンスターを味変する』際に非常に参考になる書籍とのこと。 #DNDJ #TRPG

I have a post in this round, but there are 15 other deserving entries, so give 'em a read and vote (or don't).

Some kind words from @slyflourish.com about the Monster Overhaul: youtu.be/dxL3RQRmHaw?...

I've just released the full spell list for the Treasure Overhaul on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/118022... 41 pages of Druid, Cleric, Illusionist, and Magic-User spells in a compact and ready-to-use format.

We finally finished off the blood troll from Monster Overhaul last night after 2 years of it stalking us! It killed 2 of our PCs and my goat!
