An Overview of All the Upcoming New Big Dragon Releases

All of the following projects are production-ready, except for some final test prints and some final editing/proofing polish. The goal is to release them in September (probably late September, maybe early October). Right now, this is the plan... the initial print release will be as an "all or none" bundle pre-order through the New Big Dragon square storefront, with PDF copies included, with individual sales (including PDF only options) will follow in the weeks after the initial bundles ship. (It's kind of like doing a Kickstarter, without having to do a Kickstarter—too much damn hassle and cost associated with it.)

All of the following are specifically designed for B/X rulesets (and similar).



Old School Adventures™ Accessory RS1
Fang, Faith, and Legerdemain

This is sort of an abridged DMG for BX, with alternate and supplementary rules, including character information, weapons & armor details, supplementary combat options, expanded monster information, and more!


  



Old School Adventures™ Module BX1
Adventurers Wanted

This campaign module combines 5 separate adventurers run over recent years at NTRPGCon, written by Richard LeBlanc and legendary D&D contributor and author Steve Marsh. Direct sale print copies feature an old-school "separate cover" map in classic blue and magenta. 

"Rock Sorenson, an adventure broker based in the city of Drekka, is seeking would-be heroes for a mission that will lead to a path of adventure that takes them from wide-eyed novices to established heroes!"




Old School Adventures™ Accessory CCSB
Creature Compendium Special Edition Boxed Set
This a digest-sized, 4-book boxed set. Each book includes 45 new monsters based on images culled from public domain pulp magazine resources. A couple of the books include some supporting information for the creatures; for example,  book 3 includes 7 new animal-related MU spells and book 4 includes 7 new BXΨ (Basic Psionics) disciplines.




Dragon Horde, Volumen 2, Issue 2
In Alley & Shadow

This is a digest-sized thief-themed zine (similar in format and content to 2019's Wherein Evil Lies).
