This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The latest from Trey Causey (Strange Stars) and Hydra Cooperative (Slumbering Ursine Dunes, Misty Isles of the Eld).

I've been mighty impressed with the Hydra Cooperative and the artwork and tone of this one seems to be breaking with the consensus style of the OSR. Oh and I think it is designed for 5e. OSR heretic?

Anyone taken the plunge and purchased this one?

The artwork looks fun. Very 60s.

Many OSR publishers are doing stuff for 5e for whatever reason. The OSR has become so diffuse that even if one "faction" see something as heresy, there's not much of a consensus.

I am all in favor of non-bog artwork.

I like the faux-Gold Key cover, anyway. Looks like one of the old licensed Disney comics like Napoleon & Samantha:

Hah! Funny cause I just had to sit through the film version of that with my nieces.

I suspect this is a reference to bog standard as the art is unusual for OSR products, and RPGs in general.
