The Scourge of the Scorn Lords by Knight Owl Games
- SYSTEM: Old-School Essentials
- PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover digest setting book
- RETAIL PRICE: $44.95
- DESCRIPTION: A dystopian post-apocalypse dangerous setting. Marauders ride dinosaurs into wasteland battles against giant insects pulling stagecoaches. PCs explore the sandbox setting, learning organically about the world, directing their own path, and following their whims until they inevitably draw the attention of the Scorn Lords. United, the Scorn Lords would be staggeringly powerful—facing them openly is doomed to fail. Instead, the PCs can ease into faction play by learning about the politics until they can befriend a Scorn Lord to play one faction off the others. The third and final installment of the Meatlandia Trilogy (other books not needed to use this one).
Boreal Bestiary by Legendary Games
- SYSTEM: Pathfinder Core Rulebook (2nd Edition)
- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover adventure/decks of cards
- RETAIL PRICE: $13.99
- DESCRIPTION: A bestiary book featuring 10 sinister creatures lying in wait in the cold and forlorn forests far beyond the edge of settled lands. Where the lonely taiga verges into the vast and empty tundra and the eternal snows of the high ice beyond, pitiless spirits rise far from humanoid civilization. Vermin-obsessed gruens surround themselves with chittering horror, while wiitikowan transform humanoids and animals alike into cannibalistic killers. Regal orruols rule the mountain peaks while green children rise from their sodden graves. Strangling poleviks steal the souls of the unwary. The hard-hearted torden are cursed to hunt forever, while towering hiisi are masters of traps and whose blood unravels magic itself. Vodenjaks strike clever bargains. Arctic harpspiders trap prey with their resonant webs, while the titanic maniitok are embodiments of living tundra, filled with loathing and wrath for the noise and intrusion of outsiders.

- SYSTEM: Pathfinder 1st Edition

Burning Dragon | Feng Shui Dice Set (6) by Atlas Games
- SYSTEM: Feng Shui 2
- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover adventure/dice set
- RETAIL PRICE: $15.95/$15
- DESCRIPTION: Burning Dragon is a counterculture phenomenon held annually in the Gobi Desert. A raw celebration of creative talent to “forge the dragon” — creating a temporary city dedicated to art, age-old athletic competitions, and extravagant performances. This year, however, it has been suborned by Damien Wu — festival organizer, Triad big shot, and secret Eater of the Lotus sorcerer. When the dragon effigy burns during the closing ceremonies, Wu will use a blood sacrifice to harness the attendees’ souls and reawaken the ancient feng shui site that smolders beneath the festival grounds. In Feng Shui, sixes explode. These six dice include explosions in place of a six.
- SYSTEM: Black Void
- PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover adventure
- RETAIL PRICE: $19.99
- DESCRIPTION: The PCs are plunged into the intrigue and viciousness hidden beneath the pristine facades and gilded domes of the Khameeliya district. While establishing contact with a burgeoning human commune in the Khameeliya district, the protagonists find themselves framed for massacring exotic animals belonging to the powerful Ghurayb guild. Incriminated in a virulent conspiracy and seeking to exonerate themselves before vigilante justice catches up to them, they unwittingly stumble across a plot with implications far beyond the Eternal City. The protagonists have to use whatever guile, diplomacy and martial prowess they can muster to survive the intricate maneuverings of traders, esoteric beings and callous killers alike.
