Black Dogs is a dark fantasy collection of house-rules¸ materials¸ adventures¸ monsters¸ and together a toolbox to generate new content for OSR systems¸ particularly focused on Lamentations of the Flame Princess. Black Dogs shares a common set of rules and aesthetics with Lamentations¸ but it has its distinct flavor. Whenever a rule is not found (or not presented yet) in the Black Dogs 'zine¸ just use the default from Lamentations or whatever OSR system you're running.
The upcoming issues of Black Dogs will also contain:
- Slightly different score systems¸ different Saves¸ modifiers¸ XP and leveling up etc.
- Substantial changes to combat (with Zones)¸ Hit Points and wounds
- Simple Encumbrance system
- GM's advice on how to create adventures¸ NPCs and communities¸ and how to generate valid hooks that will bring players to confront meaningful monsters
- Many beasts and monsters¸ various crea-tures and other things found in The Wild
- Rules focused on travel and exploration
- New rules and magic spells for sorcerers (plus getting rid of traditional clerics). Until more details are presented¸ use regular spells and magic system
- A series of characters' careers¸ to give additional depth to the story of the various party members
