Osprey’s New McCullough Games & Expansions Coming In 2025
January 20, 2025 by brennon
Osprey Games recently announced the new games and expansions coming from the mind of Joseph McCullough in 2025. We start with something fun and different in the form of Hairfoot Jousting.
Hairfoot Jousting // Osprey Games
Hairfoot Jousting has been designed as a quick and simple tabletop game where you take a team of three to victory in tournaments or as part of a season. I love that McCullough is clearly just having a bit of fun and I'm eager to see how it all works when it hits the tabletop. I quite liked that "sportsmanship and a sense of humour are as valuable as skill or luck" so I hope this turns into a fun game for events and clubs as well as at home with friends.
Stargrave: Death Vector
Next, we turn our attention to Stargrave which will be getting a new expansion by the name of Death Vector. Sounds friendly.
Stargrave: Death Vector // Osprey Games
Death Vector features eight new scenarios set within the Outlaw Technology Sector. Rather than pirates, you'll find yourself battling cyborg automatons that are intent on hunting down all organic life. There is also a new campaign element included called The Network which adds Cyberpunk-style hacking to your games. New space encounters, advanced technology and a full bestiary complete the book.
Frostgrave: Advanced Spellcraft
The original 'Grave game gets an update as well with the addition of Advanced Spellcraft for budding witches, wizards and apprentices.
Frostgrave: Advanced Spellcraft // Osprey Games
New rules can be found within including critical successes and failures for your basic spells. There are also spell flourishes which can enhance your magic but beware as they are draining and could have undesirable consequences. All of these new secrets must be learned by venturing into the Bibliosepulchre, a full ten-scenario competitive campaign. This book celebrates magic in all its forms in Frostgave but also the 10th anniversary of the game.
The Silver Bayonet: Britain - Bones Of Albion
Finally, we also got some more information about the new supplement for The Silver Bayonet, Britain - Bones Of Albion.
The Silver Bayonet: Britain - Bones Of Albion // Osprey Games
The Bones Of Albion brings the fighting of The Silver Bayonet to the British Isles. There is a fully competitive campaign that introduces specialist units either fighting for or against the French who are threatening an invasion! All of this against the backdrop of ghosts and revenants being spotted across the land. These newly risen must be put down and you're being tasked with finding out just why they have been summoned from their graves. Do all this before Britain is buried under a horde of the undead!
Harefoot Jousting will be out in May alongside Stargrave: Death Vector. July will see the release of Advanced Spellcraft for Frostgrave and then September marks the release for Bones Of Albion for The Silver Bayonet fans.

Might get Hairfoot Jousting as an alternative set of rules for my Half-Tilt box. Although I still have to test those rules!
He’s a mad lad of production! So many books!
The Bones Of Albion comes out in September – that is a long wait! Last, but not least I say.
Lots to look forward to in 2025. Just need to defeat January first!
