Free O5R Or OSR Post Apocalyptic Resource - Death Race Fury Road From Kort'thalis Publishing For Your Old School Campaigns

Sometimes you need a good set of Mad Max style OSR rules that can handle an interstellar cosmic or OSR wasteland race! Did I mention that Venger Satanis has been working on exactly that and its free? Shall we dive into the deep end race fans?!

So I've been waxing & waning between Sword & Sorcery & my ever wasteland present muse post apocalyptic old school gaming. Then a couple of weeks ago Venger Satanis  emails me about his current project Death Race Fury Road. The set up for this is pure post apocalpytic gold, I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to contribute more to the community based project. But its been birthed onto the world like new born mutant baby. Cue Thundarr The Barbarian theme music here.



Well after reading through this free piece of post apocalyptic sort of madness I'm reminded of something else entirely. The free pdf seems to be more of part setting, part gonzo madness and a good heaping of awesomely ways for PC's to bite the big one."This started as a small community project and grew into a really strange collection of random tables inspired by the Mad Max movies and that Thundarr the Barbarian episode, "Challenge of the Wizards."  The main table is a d100 collection of weird, gonzo, sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalyptic encounters that death racers may stumble upon during their race."
So what I ended up thinking of is this relic from the Eighties, Thunder Road from Milton Bradley.

Man that brings back memories but not in a bad way at all, I can honestly see using these rules to inject some weirdness into a game between adventures. The PC's become drafted into some of the most insane weirdness that some wizards can draft them into especially a race of comic level strangeness. This might actually work well as a side game for Alpha Blue or Crimson Dragon Slayer. But it would actually work as a nice side support for any OSR game. I can actually see using this as a Mutant Future or Planet Mother F@#$er side support game add on.
So its time to get your race on and bring your best gear down to the track, take your best pit crew, get your driving gloves on, and whatever you do don't let the Mok drive!


Did I happen to mention
that this booklet is free?

What ever you do watch out for these jerks!

Racing Under Alien Moons Venger's Community Sourced Post-Apocalypse Race Setting

So I wake up this yesterday morning & I was putting the finishing touches on my Thundarr The Barbarian AS&SH/ACK's article when email from Venger pops up. Now here & there I've seen this blurb about a community based post apocalyptic race project he's got. Then I tonight I finally get around to reading the article and seeing the mention of one of my favorite Thundarr The Barbarian episodes Challenge of the Wizards I decided to investigate further. So is this going to be another one of Venger's sexy time sleazy romps? Sorry Mazem but this is going to be an on the level crowd-sourcing community project for a weird, wild, gonzo, post-apocalyptic race set in the future, possibly on another planet. You can read more about it right over here



So what are we going to be looking at here, weird and perhaps Lovecraftian racers, Mad Max battles using weapons beyond the ken of mankind, lots of carnage, and wild bunch of adventure locations. According to Venger's guidelines;"Things to keep in mind: references to 60s, 70s, and 80s sci-fi, humor, sexiness, gonzo, weird but plausible, flavor text to give us a sense of the race itself.  Any kind of world building is a plus!"


Salothmo was a wizard on a back water world who gained a great object of power to ascend to a higher plane of existence only to find that greater powers then he in the universe were pursuing other dimensional racing the sport of gods! Slack jawed & far behind the times  these races with gods, wizards, interstellar warlords decide the fate of worlds. Challenged by Ndunargorcagla a wizard of low renowned Salothmo was forced to cut corners & use rank adventurers of the lowest caliber; while not against the rules per say it made things dicey for other wizards. Salothmo was able to seize Ndunargorcagla personal & interstellar assets in a desperate gambit to go up in rank against fellow race managers. So began a tradition of using lowly adventurers, outlaws, criminals, drivers, and pilots to not only win races but take down other rival race mangers and overlords.
Of course this was over two hundred years ago & many alien rival's blood, ichor & guts have been split since then. Now the moons of Durorin are in alignment & the cycle is starting to begin. The race overlords are readying their machines once again & the other dimensional gates are opening to summon the racers to the starting sacrifice!

Ancandelingoro is the perfect race world, a place of incredible terrain, vast plains perfect for racing, and home to some of the deadliest monsters and mutants that have been culled from a million worlds by the race overlords. There are no rules here and even the basest of tricks, traps, weapons, and more have been used & will be again. Ancandelingoro has no rules, laws, or other moral conceits to get in the way of the action. It is simply the world of the race & the race is everything. There are over two hundred other dimensional gates & over ten thousand media circles of power able to broadcast throughout the known universe.


There are entire city states that have built up around the race on Ancandelingoro; places such as Glauld, the purple mountains of Erchath with its machine works, the low lands of Candoth where men & machines can be stripped of flesh and money, & of course the infamous Ailaur where the festivals of celebration & sacrifice  go on for six straight weeks. Black Lotuthar where the magicks match the soil and only the blood of victims or racers colors the stone or soil here.
