Thanks to Monkey's Paw Games for hosting the OSR June Jam! It finally pushed me to finish the OSR-inspired game I have been working on for years!

If you're interested, you can find it here: https://lostindungeons.itch.io/journeys-into-the-unknown


I can't wait to discover your games!

EDIT: Edited website due to name change! Thanks everyone for your support!

Well done on the first release, it's always a big step to finally publish something. 

FYI, you may not be aware that there is already an OSR style RPG game called Into the Unknown already (you may not be overly concerned with the name clash but thought it worth highlighting this).

I did not know that. Do you think it would be a big deal to others or the other author?

Not my field of expertise to be honest so treat the following as just an opinion. Both are small niche RPG publications but they both occupy the same space. It may be more of a 'confusion over product' type consideration here. 

This was the main reason I didn't name one of my projects 'Pitchforks and Torches' (as opposed to Pitchforks and Witches) as there was already a product called Torches & Pitchforks and another called Pitchforks & Torches. 

Personally (and feel free to ignore this) I would probably rename it to avoid confusion (and you can amend Into the Unknown to something similar.. Journey to the Unknown (this was an old film) or something like that).

Thanks, I am going to consider some name changes
