Coming Soon

 We're putting the finishing touches on a re-write of a very old adventure that we've had kicking around for years... decades, actually... 

Hope Cross Village is central to the whole Upon the Face of the Deep Campaign, at least at this point! Jabob's Well and Hope Cross Village are at the the geographical center of the Highlands, in a Freehold (so politically at the center of the Highlands) and in the middle of the very real fight between the Church of the Holy Saints and the New Cult of the Old Gods, both religious movements are hampered by corruption at the highest levels while the faithful live out their day to day lives.

So, here's the cover. We HOPE to have this out on DTRPG by the beginning of December so that we can cap off the Everything 2020 Bundle with this and the Storm's Impending Rage.

Some So-Called Art

Here's a couple things I drew for The Storm's Impending Rage. I'm no artist, and if I could pay a real artist to do drawings for these works, I'd give them these and say, "Here, make something like this, only good." But I do these to help visualize some of the things that I think are hard to "see" with only a description.

Upon the Face of the Deep Campaign New Offering

 While not the first adventure in the Upon the Face of the Deep Campaign, we just published the 100 page sandbox adventure that is intended to be the kickoff of the Campaign:


The Storm's Impending Rage

The title, by the way, is a line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem Dura Novis

The PDF is available at Drivethrurpg and the print version is in pre-media, waiting for approval and then a proof will be ordered. The last proof I ordered (Bonepicker's Tower) just shipped but the warning is that media mail could take over a month to get here... sigh

Review O Rama!

Dang, things have really picked up regarding reviews for Rosethrone Publishing products.

Bryce Lynch at Ten Foot Pole has been particularly gracious, reviewing three products over the past year...

Last May he reviewed a very early offering, The Shrine of the Fallen Angels.  His review was generally positive, with a number of justified criticisms. He said it was interesting but might not be usable at the table,,,

In July, he reviewed Blackfalls Hall, a longer and somewhat convoluted adventure.  The primary criticisms he pointed out were utility at the table (way too wordy - which I am...) and sometimes the lead of the encounter gets buried (put the most important/first seen stuff first in the description...). This review generated a few helpful comments, too.

A couple days ago he reviewed The Keep of the Broken Saint and gave it a very favorable review, it even made his list of "The Best!" That was pretty gratifying and I am very thankful for Bryce's reviews.

A couple weeks ago, the Blog OSR News and Reviews gave a fairly comprehensive and very favorable review of The Sepulcher of the Burning King. OSR News has noted the release of other Rosethrone products and we have really appreciated that as well. Great resource for new release announcements.

Dreams of Mythic Fantasy (a little NSFW) has announced the last few releases, always glad to read the blog and another great resource for new release announcements.

I know I've already mentioned this, but the first review I discovered was via a random search, a review of the Northern Tier Hexcrawl, way back in 2017!

I'm certain that I've missed a few, and sorry for that! 

Thanks!!!
