Hey! Do you wanna adventure under Tenkar's Tavern? Written for Swords & Wizardry Light by Thom Wilson and published by Throwi Games, Under Tenkar's Tavern, Levels 1-3 is priced at PWYW. Hmmm, I should run this at a convention...
Under Tenkar's Tavern, Levels 1-3 for Swords & Wizardry
Once a boisterous and popular bar, Tenkar’s Tavern has recently become a place shrouded in mystery and despair. Members of the kitchen staff have disappeared and have not returned in several days. Additional hired hands have also since gone missing. An empty kitchen means unhappy customers and the barkeep Nerik is losing money! He needs outside help to solve his dilemma. Can the adventurers help find the kitchen staff or the source of the tavern’s problems?
An Adventure for three to six characters of 1st or 2nd level, designed for Swords & Wizardry TM by Matthew J. Finch.
Are you looking for new classes for your OSE/LL/B/X game or for Swords & Wizardry or other OSR ruleset? How about some mass combat rules that aren't only usable, but understandable? Rules for herbs and foraging? Maybe even alchemy? It's all here and more in Fantastic Wizardry, nicely priced at PWYW.
FANTASTIC WIZARDRY is a rule supplement for "basic" editions of "the world's first and most famous fantasy roleplaying game" and associated retro-clones. FANTASTIC WIZARDRY expands upon rules found in "basic" games by adding the following:
- NEW CLASSES! Alchemist, Arcane Fighter, Brawler, Hunter, Swashbuckler, Theurge, and Warlock!
- EXPANDED PLAYER OPTIONS! Misc. Combat Options, Exceptional Abilities, Retraining Abilities, and Mundane herbal Crafting and Foraging!
- MORE MAGIC OPTIONS! Alchemical Crafting, Overcasting, Intuitive Casting, Commoner Casting, and Finding, Binding, and Summoning Outsiders!
- ADDITIONAL GAME MASTER RULES! Strongholds, Settlements, and Demense! Hired Jobs, Missions, and Commissions!, Narrative Dice! Mass Combat!
FANTASTIC WIZARDRY is for those who love "old school" gaming but are interested in adding something new to their table!
Looking for a gonzo, Gamma World-esque RPG that riffs off the B/X rules, takes them to 11, and then rudely pukes out of the passenger side door of your car as you zoom down some abandoned highway? If so, Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland Core Rulez is the game you've been waiting for.
A gonzo vomit-punk post apycolyptic cassette futurism table top RPG. A visceral mash-up of 80s/90s pop culture mixed in a grimdark blender and barfed onto the table! Siskel and Ebert would give Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland two big thumbs down! For fans of The Toxic Avenger and all the sleazy over the top late night sci-fi/horror you can handle!
Ultra-Violent, and style matters tabletop RPG, that builds off of the “BX” rules. Half Medieval Fantasy half Sci-Fi, neon lords of the toxic wasteland is a no-holds-barred to the max game! Oozing 80's and 90's nostalgia the game features items from Ninja Stars to Fanny packs in addition to many references to the era.
In addition to being built on top of the 'BX" rules, the core rules use an ability class points system and fortune points which grants the player some flexibility in dire rolls.
The setting a post-apocalyptic Earth in which magic, mixed with the technology of the 1980’s- the early ’90s, has created the cassette futurism seen in both the Neo-Terraxx and Xeno tech, as well as the art style. Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland is over the top, bloody, random, wild, and a hell of a good time. Sit back, crack open some TAB, and roll some damage.
This bad boy has so much packed inside! The Core Rulez include:
All the rulez required to run a sick game of Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland! From character creation to combat to exploration to additional rulez, the Neon Lord (Game Master)has everything they need! Types of damage, drugs, diseases, poison, and how to play all the wasteland baddies are all included too!
Hair Style choices in character creation that can help or hinder you in your rad adventures in the forgotten future! Will you pick a Mullet or Mohawk? You decide!
11 Playable classes with 1 super secret hidden class.
Over 100 unique monsters!!!! The list spans from the Aggressive menacer all the way to Zombie!
An entire unique spell system with its unique spells and all the classics you come to expect from an OSR RPG! 121 soul-crushing black magic spells at the War Wizard's sick disposal! 41 prayers granted to the Holy Smiter by their deity. 44 Psychic Manifestations the mysterious Star Spawns can conjure up. 36 hacks the Skull Jammer can cook up on his high tech Tape Deck, plus all the other random spells or slimy dudes who cast their unique spells!
A massive section on fantastical items and all the rad treasure you can dig up in the ruins of the forgotten world or hoarded by Mutant Wasteland Warlords!
1 MASSIVE Setting to get your campaigns started!!!!
