[zine] Grenzland No. 6 – Domain Games II

Leave a comment Posted by on September 30, 2025

Grenzland no. 6 appeared in my mailbox last week, and now can also be downloaded from archive.org. A harcopy can be purchased for 5 Euros from Wanderer Bill (as long as copies last that is). It features a mix of mostly English and partially German articles concerning OSR topics, including an expanded article on Campaign Events.

Information and Reconaissance in Domain Games by lkh is a meditation on information gathering in domain games, based on the experience in the Grenzland diplomacy game (see below).

Campaign Events by me (kyonshi): a longer article regarding Campaign Events, very much inspired by the tables from Oriental Adventures, but reworked for my own purposes.

Notes on a ShipCrawl Game by RThom: ideas on creating a ship-based campaign.

Bericht über die letzten Ereignisse in und um Akan-Lai by Mellen Darg by kiki: a game report about a more or less regular Worlds Without Number game (article in German)

The Grenzland Diplomacy Game by lkh: the rules and faction sheets for the concluded Grenzland Diplomacy Game (faction sheets are a mix of German and English)

[zine] Grenzland No. 5 – Science Fantasy

Cover of Grenzland 5 depicting a ruin getting sucked into a black hole

Last week I found Wanderer Bill’s Grenzland 5 in my mailbox. Topic “Science Fantasy”. The zine costs 5 Euros for a hardcopy, but can be downloaded for free.

As the topic goes into the realm of science fiction there’s plenty of that in this issue. Most of the articles are in German, some are English though.

In the appropriately titled article “Piu piu!!” Alex Schroeder gives stats and rules for laser weapons in DnD.

In 46.656 Psychedelic Landscapes lkh gives a table for generating appropriately alien landscapes.

The Mini-OSR-Con Manifesto is a manifesto/advice on organising small mini conventions, some of which the authors of the article have tried to stomp out of the ground by themselves lately.

The German-language article Technosaurier talks about science fictionized dinosaurs, Aus dem Steinbru.ch gives three appropriate random tables, and The Droyne and Update Grenzland Kampagne are giving a faction sheet of the Droyne (from Traveller) as presented for the PBM game in lkh’s home campaign setting (in English), and an update and status report on the same campaign.

Definitely worth a look.
