What Ho!

Do you run an OSR game?

(If you don’t, hit “Delete”).

On February 27th, Raging Swan Press releases GM’s Miscellany: Dungeon Dressing (OSR) into the world. This hardback compilation comprises the entire Dungeon Dressing line and other materials, and it is designed to make your OSR dungeons ooze detail and authenticity.

If you like verisimilitude and you have dungeons in your game, this is the book for you!

Hello!

Thank you for supporting Raging Swan Press on Patreon.

I have exciting news for you if you play an OSR game. (And, I’ll soon have exciting news for you if you run a Pathfinder 2nd edition game.)

Later this month, we release GM’s Miscellany: Dungeon Dressing (OSR). Patrons at the $5 and up levels get this 250-page book (which retails for $19.95) as part of their rewards. And they get a discount on the hardback and softcover editions of the book!

If you play an OSR game that involves dungeons, check out the book and some of the awesome OSR-style art inside by using the link below:

We also have a range of free One-Page dungeon dressing PDF downloads, which you would be more than welcome to download. You can find them on our blog. Here is a link:

In any event, if you play OSR games, I hope you can find a spot for GM’s Miscellany: Dungeon Dressing (OSR) in your GM’s toolbox.

Finally, thank you (again) for supporting Raging Swan Press in the past. Your support has helped us produce resources designed to add depth and flavour to all our games.

Hello!

I am delighted to announce that this week, Raging Swan Press restarts its Pathfinder Roleplaying Game 2nd Edition support.

We’ll have two Pathfinder 2nd Edition releases every month (along with our Pathfinder 1st Edition releases). Initially, our support will focus on the Wilderness Dressing and Dungeon Backdrop lines, but if demand manifests itself, I’d be delighted to expand our offering.

All our new Pathfinder 2nd edition supplements will be available at our own store and DriveThruRPG, and through our Patreon campaign. If you want to support Raging Swan Press’s return to Pathfinder 2nd Edition, sign up for our Patreon campaign and drop me a line telling me that’s why you signed up. To get our Pathfinder 2nd Editions supplements, you can support us for as little as $2 a month—a bargain!

As always, thanks very much for supporting Raging Swan Press. Good luck with your games.

What Ho!

Later this month, we will release the final edition of the Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands for 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1 games. Over the last few years, we’ve grown this adventure into a 150-page mini-campaign. We’ve added extensive details of the nearby town, Dulwich, and two new adventures—the Shunned Valley of the Three Tombs and the Dread Shrine of the Supreme Warlord.

On March 21st, patrons at the $5 and up levels not only get a free PDF of all three editions of Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands but also get an exclusive discount on the softcover and hardback editions of all three editions of the adventure.

Fear not, if you already have Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands in your DriveThru library, you’ll get the updated PDF free on March 24th, and you need do nothing.If you fancy these discounted print editions or don’t already have the digital editions, though, you have just under two weeks to rejoin our campaign.

Thank you for supporting Raging Swan Press on Patreon. I hope you enjoy this update to Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands.

(Hidden deep in the borderland forest, bandits lurk in the ruined castle of a long-dead border lord. Their incessant raids draw a band of neophyte heroes to the derelict keep. There, they discover fouler, more odious dangers lurk below the ruins. Dare you brave the terrors of the Shadowed Keep to crush that which lurks within, or will darkness shroud the surrounding lands?

Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands is an adventure for 1st-level characters. Although designed for the Duchy of Ashlar campaign setting, the adventure can be easily inserted into a GM’s home campaign.)

Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands News

This Friday, Raging Swan Press releases new and improved stat block appendices for Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands in 5e, OSR and P1 editions.

If you already own the unplugged edition(s) of the adventure, the relevant downloads will appear in your library this Friday morning.

If you own the normal edition of the adventures, the downloads will appear in your library next Monday morning.

If you don’t already own the adventure, sign up at the $5 or higher level by this Friday morning (UK time) and save in the region of $15 on the adventure’s cover price.

Thank you for using our books at your table,

What Ho, from Raging Swan Press!

This Friday, Raging Swan Press releases Citadel on the Wilderlands to our $5 and up patrons. If you like the Lonely Coast or the Duchy of Ashlar I think you’ll love Citadel on the Wilderlands.

Citadel on the Wilderlands is a flavour-rich 5e mini-campaign setting designed for low-level characters intent on wilderness exploration and dungeon delving. Designed to be easy to prepare and easy to run, Citadel on the Wilderlands is perfect for GMs who don’t have unending time to prep for the next session.

Citadel on the Wilderlands clocks in at 160 pages and retails for $19.95, but patrons can get their digital copy (and a decent discount on a hardback or softcover edition) for as little as $5. Rejoin us today!

You can check out some of the book’s free extracts, which include Tommi Salama’s amazing maps, on our blog (ragingswanpress.com/swan-blog).

Subsequent releases will detail the wilderlands and the sites ripe for adventure therein.

To get your copy, rejoin us on Patreon (patreon.com/ragingswanpress) before Friday morning.

About the Citadel

An isolated point of light amid the savage dark of the Wilderlands, Solonor Island—a haven and bulwark for humanity and its allies—is ever in need of heroes to push back the forces of evil seeking to overwhelm it. Scores of miles from the nearest friendly port, the Citadel on the Wilderlands and Solonor Island are a rare safe harbour on the storm-wracked, danger-haunted Skeleton Coast. Civilisation’s light has never burned bright in this part of the world. Trackless forests, rugged hills, noisome mires and sodden moors run along the Skeleton Coast. Further inland, the mysterious, rumour-choked rock pillars of the Gray Spires thrust skywards as they have since time immemorial.

Opportunities for gold, glory, and death gather thick upon the Skeleton Coast.

Thank You

As always, thank you for supporting Raging Swan Press on Patreon and for using our books in your games,

Hello, from Raging Swan Press

The Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands is back!

Later this week on Friday, Raging Swan Press will release the late 2023 edition of Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands in 5e, OSR and Pathfinder 1 editions. If you want an old-school adventure for new 1st-level characters (including a detailed town), this adventure is for you.

Patrons at the $5 and up levels get all three PDF editions of the adventure and at least a 50% discount on print copies. And they get all future updates for the adventure—and we’ve got big plans for the Shadowed Keep on the Borderlands!

Want a summary of the adventure in one sentence?

Raiding bandits lurking in the crumbling old castle of a long-dead border lord hidden deep in the woods draw a band of neophyte heroes to the ruins where they discover fouler, more odious dangers lurk in and under the derelict keep.

Want to check out our plans for the Shadowed Keep?

Do you like pirates?

(If you don’t play 5e or like pirates, delete this message now).

Later this month, Raging Swan Press is releasing the Picaroon Peninsula mini-campaign setting for 5e. Patreon’s supporting Raging Swan Press at the $5 and up levels get the PDF free and a discount on the setting’s soft cover book.

Fancy learning more? Check out The Picaroon Peninsula At a Glance or read on.

Free Downloads

You can download the Peninsula Maps here or the Picaroon Peninsula Settlement Maps here.

About The Picaroon Peninsula

Set sail for adventure on the Picaroon Peninsula! Stretching from the isolated pirate stronghold of Deksport in the west with its three violent, feuding rulers, to the mysterious Forest of Gray Spires in the east, the Picaroon Peninsula is home to ruthless buccaneers, cannibal cults, crumbling tree-choked ruins and pirate curses.

The Picaroon Peninsula presents together for the first time the town of Deksport with the villages of Red Talon, Sea Bitch, Revenge and Black Wyvern, along with eight new coastal and wilderness adventure locations and an updated map by master cartographer Tommi Salama.

Adventurers can walk the dangerous streets of Deksport, where orcs and goblins rub shoulders with human pirates, and the threat of sudden, bloody violence is always in the air. Brave souls can take the fight to the pirates at sea, explore strange islands and hidden coves, or dive beneath the waves to plunder haunted shipwrecks. Others will venture into the woodlands to uncover the dark secrets of the pirate villages, search for ancient orcish treasure or to discover if the rumours of demon-worshipping elves in the Forest of Gray Spires are fact or fiction.
