I know a lot of GMs might turn up their nose at such a small offering, but really I suggest any GM keep a small supply of these things off to the side for use when you need to add a little something-something to pad out a day of playing, or when you don't have a lot of time (but need to have a game), or even just as a piece of breathing room for when the players go "left" when you were only prepared for them going "right".

Free Stuff from Throneofsalt!
Break Their Pride By A Woman's Hand -OSR small adventure in phamplet form.
Lighthouse on the Spur - A creepy location for your campaign...surprise! It's a lighthouse.
Dungeon Hobos: Some cool "flavor text" you can add to your dungeons, complete with vectorized graphics for you to steal lovingly borrow.
Dog God Deluxe - a zine
I love, love, LOVE the ides of the murder dungeon hobos marking things up in the dungeon. I am so going to be using this as a GM and maybe even as a player! The idea is rooted in American history and one of those common-sense yet brilliant things.

Free GM Resource: The Gygax 75 Challenge
About the Project/Program: "This workbook is based on an article written by Gary Gygax in 1975, less than 12 months after D&D was released. It encapsulates his thinking at the time about how to get your own D&D campaign world started. I have taken his general advice and parsed it out into achievable, bite-sized prompts & goals for a week-by-week program."
The Gygax 75 Challenge is available from Ray Otus' website and you can find it here or by clicking on the lead-in graphic.

Free GM Resource: B2 Keep on the Borderlands Supplement
Today's Free GM Resource is a customized add-on/partial replacement for the venerable B2 Keep on the Borderlands. This 32 page supplement is available for the great low price of FREE on the D&D B/X Facebook group.
Created by Drew Day Williams, the whole idea comes from B2 itself: "This is a customized B2 Keep on the Borderlands, that I expanded into a full localized campaign. The instructions in the module indicate this is what one should do with B2, and so I did."

Free GM Resource: Custom Miniature Maker
It's been my experience that most people see 3D printers as a means to directly create things they're already using, mostly minis and terrain. Heck, most of my .stl collection is either terrain or minis, and usually that's what you find when looking for files.
This is why I got a bit excited by Custom Miniature Maker because the files I saw were for tools to create some cool terrain instead of the terrain itself. They have a Patreon, which I did sign up on/for, but on their website they have a Custom Miniature Monday Mailing List. It's a bright green button about halfway down the page (actually shown twice)....the Patreon link is also a bright green button, so be careful of that.

Free GM Resources: Full Thrust Project Continuum Game/Ruleset
Full Thrust: Project Continuum is a SciFi Strategy Wargame. Not really my cup of tea, but I'm sure there are plenty who feel otherwise. A quick search says that Full Thrust is available for free, and I don't know how this version fits into the series, but the title page states they have proper permissions from the Copyright holders. It appears that this flavor is combination of two earlier rulesets with a generous helping of house rules.
Cool thing is, if you like what you see here, you can go straight to Ground Zero Games and pick up the earlier rulesets for free. GZG is the place you'll want to pick up *official* starship models. I'm guessing that's where they make their money, so that's a big part of why these rules are free.

Free GM Resource: The Mines of Khunmar
The Mines of Khunmar is a 400ish page adventure campaign that has been in a draft form since maybe 2017. I'll keep it simple....there is a LOT of meat on the bones here and you can get a lot of mileage out of downloading and using this setting location.
Seriously, do not take my word on it, download it and check for yourself.
