I made a thing Full Release: The Hive Under Eisenstead [self promo]
Three years after taking the plunge in the OSR, I have released my first OSR adventure, The Hive Under Eisenstead! This was funded via Kickstarter as a part of Zine Quest 2026, and is now live on DriveThruRPG.
In addition to some amazing art and maps, some key features are:
- Designed for characters of 2nd to 4th level.
- Statted for both old school systems (OSRIC, OSE, Swords & Wizardry) and modern systems (5E, Shadowdark, Pathfinder).
- 84 keyed locations across four areas.
- Four new monsters and several riffs on classic foes.
- Two rival adventuring parties.
- Several unique magic items and two new Magma Sorcery spells in D&D and DCC compatible formats.
- Five adventure hooks to tie player characters to NPCs immediately.
- 48-pages in a 5.5" x 8.5" zine format, easily printed at home.
- 14 handouts, both digital and printer-friendly.
- Player-ready maps and digital tokens for a virtual tabletop.
It was a blast to make, and it has been incredible to see it come to life. I hope you will check it out.
