Hello,

I was browsing on here a few days ago reading the many interesting posts on Gencon 2010 and noticed there are some OSR publishers I hadn't even heard of - Diecast Games comes to mind.  I was wondering if anyone had produced a list of products available?

Here are the publishers that I believe are active that we currently carry/and are aware of:

Lamentations of the Flame Princess
PPP (Kuntz)
Diecast
Black Blade
Brave Halfling
Chaotic Henchmen
Goblinoid
Pacesetter

Tim Kask - does anyone know how to contact him regarding carrying his products?

If anyone has other suggestions I'd like to check them out to consider adding them to our catalog.  

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,
Aaron Leeder

You should have an easy time of that. He's here under the user name of kaskoid. A quick PM is all you need unless he reciprocates first.

Expeditious Retreat Press (which you carry  :D ) is another.

The OSRIC list can be found here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSRIC

There may be similar for LL, S&W, etc.


Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

You are probably aware of them, but Frog God Games has been omitted from your list.

At present, my new stuff is not formally published. I have only been putting together pre-pub prototypes, very limited in number , all signed and numbered. High-end collector stuff.

Two of my early adventures (one for Texas and one for Acaeum members) were re-printed in digest size in b&w for NTRPGCon--this time only about 75 copies.

I have similar plans for the first two I did for GaryCon, combined this time into one digest-sized booklet that will have a limited run of about 75, available at the next GaryCon, in March of 2011.

In June of 2011, I think we will do the same at Texas again (Texas 2010 and Acaeum 2010), in runs of about 75.

I suggest that if you do not have plans to attend yourself, that you have someone you know that is going to one or both of them to pick you up one then.

Frank Mentzer, Jim Ward and myself have plans to be writing for a new company by the first of the year. We have plans to bring in other talented writers when we find them, and publishing lots of things other than adventure modules. (I have been laying the groundwork for a possible series of books for children of gamers...hehehe. Corrupt them when they're young... Seriously, I think I have at least one children's book in me.)

The six that I have previewed and tested so far will all be getting buffed up (some need more buffing than others) and will be printed next year, if all goes well, and if they are well enough received to warrant publishing.)

By the standards set by others than myself, my style would fit under the rather broad umbrella of OSR in that I write from an OD&D perspective and believe that guidelines are better than rules and that above all, you should be having fun.

Tim, if you are capable of creating print runs of 75, it seems likely that you could sell print runs of 150+.

The market for old-school gaming products appears to be growing.  (At least that's where I've been spending my own money!)

Noble Knight has proven to be a good source for moving OSR modules.  I often check their listings.

That's "Die Cast Games" not Diecast.   :)  Totally different meaning.  :)


Available now from Die Cast Games: Night of the Black Swords by Allen Hammack (Author of C2-The Ghost Tower of Inverness) with artwork by Jeff Easley and Diesel.

Thanks for the info guys.  Frog God I was not aware of, I'll drop them an email.  

Tim, I'm pretty close to you I think, I'm over in Janesville, WI.  I would be interested in picking up a few copies (how many ever your comfortable with) when the modules come out for whatever price you think is fair since "high end collectors items" is pretty much the one thing that gets me excited about running my game store!  

However, it could easily be done and is quite tempting, but I probably would not go over or send someone to Garycon under the premise of just purchasing a copy or a few copies at retail as I wouldn't want to buy up ones that others would be buying for personal use, unless they just don't sell out.
