Bundle of Holding - Dragongrin (5e setting and campaign)

I really like dark fantasy settings. Even if I never run them, or I don't run the system they are built on, I can pull pieces out for my own campaign. I hadn't heard of Dragongrim prior to seeing it on Bundle of Holding, but at 14.95, even though it's for 5e, I find it very tempting.

Adventurer! This Dragongrin Quick Deal presents A Dead Man's Guide to Dragongrin, the tabletop dark-fantasy roleplaying campaign setting from Absolute Tabletop for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition and compatible rules systems. Evil reigns in the realm of Dragongrin, where once-free lands kneel to the Dismembered Lord and his tyrannical Lords of Ash. Only a few embattled heroes still oppose his dominion. With A Dead Man's Guide to Dragongrin, a comprehensive campaign setting guide and worldbuilding toolkit, you can forge your legend.

This all-new Quick Deal gives you the entire Dragongrin line for an unbeatable bargain price. For just US$14.95 you get all seven titles in our Dragongrin Collection (retail value $76) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete 471-page campaign corebook, A Dead Man's Guide to Dragongrin (plus the pay-what-you-want Character Creation Kit); four supplements – The Copper Jackals, Deepvault: Machinations of the Ancients, The Trapsmiths of Dragongrin, and The Tieflings of Dragongrin; and two other 5E Adventure Kits: Shadows Over Driftchapel and Oath of the Frozen King.

Deal of the Day - Sandbox Generator

It isn't often that I look at a Deal of the Day and decide to go all in - Hardcover Print PLUS PDF, and therefore pay full price, and not the discounted price for just the PDF.

Well, today's Deal of the Day - Sandbox Generator is one of those rarities. Normally 12 bucks in PDF, but until tomorrow morning the Sandbox Generator is available in PDF for 7.20. The normal price for softcover plus PDF is 18 bucks, and hardcover plus PDF is 24 bucks, plus shipping in both cases.

Very much looking forward to taking the Sandbox Generator for a spin...

The Sandbox Generator is a simple but powerful tool for DMs. It allows you to easily create a world from scratch when you prepare your next campaign. It will provide you with all the necessary information about your world: from the biomes map, to a lord’s coat of arms and the menu of the local tavern! It is also convenient for solo players and DMs who want to generate their world during the game session.

This book aims to create a pseudo-feudal fantasy world and is meant to be used with your favorite OSR ruleset and bestiary.

New worlds await: they are only a few rolls away…

Bundle of Holding - Lex Arcana

Ah, lookie here! We have a Romanesque RPG that mixes history with things man was not meant to know. If only there were a way to ping Alyssa Faden. Oh course, she probably already knows about Lex Arcana. ;)

Vale, custos! This all-new Lex Arcana Bundle presents Lex Arcana, the tabletop historical-fantasy roleplaying game from Italian design team Quality Games (published by Acheron Games) of a magical Roman Empire that never fell. Travel the known world to study arcane lore, uncover conspiracies, and battle dangerous supernatural creatures. It's Cthulhu Invictus meets The X-Files – the HBO Max Rome series meets The Witcher. Dive into the mysteries and dangers of ancient Rome. The Emperor commands!

Co-designed by Francisco Nepitello (The One Ring), the beautiful Lex Arcana Second Edition rulebook was funded in a big September 2018 Kickstarter campaign. Get the complete 310-page rulebook, four gorgeous full-color setting guides, and ten scenarios for an unbeatable bargain price. For just US$17.95 you get all three full-color titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $65) as DRM-free ebooks, including the Lex Arcana core rulebook (plus the free Quickstarter) and the setting sourcebooks Italia and Encyclopedia Arcana.

Kickstarter - Tomb of Zines, a Storage Box for your Fantasy RPG Zines (Phil Reed)

I'm a huge fan of Phil Reed and his various Kickstarters. They are always a great value for your money, ship on time, and are universally useful. It doesn't hurt that I consider Phil a friend, but I'd be saying all of this regardless ;)

This time around, Phil is offering a box to hold your various zines - The Tomb of Zines. But it's not just a box, it's also gaming content. Imagine that...

If you've been collecting fantasy roleplaying game zines, then you've likely hit the same problem that many of us have: how do you store these things? The indie community does an incredible job of creating fun, entertaining game content in all sorts of sizes, shapes, and formats, but it can sometimes be challenging to figure out where and how to store all of these remarkable works of art.

That's where the Tomb of Zines comes into play! This storage box features a 6.25" x 9.25" x 2" space to carry your favorite zines. Better still, the box is more than just a box! Printed on the outside and inside of the box are random tables to assist the gamemaster in preparing quick encounters and packed with possible adventure ideas. The back of the box features a table that directs the GM to one of six different brochures included inside the box.

The six brochures are each 9" x 9" in size, double-sided, and folded down to 3" x 9" so that they fit neatly in the Tomb of Zines. These six brochures are packed in the box at the project launch. All six are written and ready for the editing process! 

• The Wizard's Secrets - 2d12 table. What secret does the wizard reveal before he dies?
• The Wizard's Requests - 2d10 table. What does the wizard ask of the party?
• The Wizard's Demands - 2d20 table. What does the wizard demand of the adventures?
• The Wizard's Summons - 5d6 table. What terrible or frightening thing has the wizard summoned?
• The Wizard's Tales - 1d12 table. What story does the wizard tell the heroes?
• The Wizard's Attacks - 1d20 table. Exactly how does the wizard attack theadventurers?

Bundle of Holding - Sorcery & Super Science

I remember being excited about the release of Sorcery & Super Science well over a decade ago. The setting was interesting and I can recall nothing about the game engine itself. Not a surprise, I have purchased way too many RPG products over the intervening.

I AM surprised that we are seeing a Sorcery & Super Science Bundle prior to seeing a Torg bundle, an IP with actual history being it, but maybe that's because I'm looking at my original Torg box on my shelf and wishing for more material for the setting at an affordable price point.

In any case, the Sorcery & Super Science Bundle can be had for a mere 12.95, and I suspect much of the support material could be wedged into a Mutant Crawl Classics or Mutant Future campaign without much work.

Adventurer! This Sorcery & Super Science Quick Deal presents the 2010 gonzo-apocalypse tabletop science-fantasy roleplaying game Sorcery & Super Science from Joseph (Arden Vul) Browning at Expeditious Retreat Press. After a worldwide catastrophe, the Moon's in pieces and even time is broken. It is a dangerous new world, where advanced technology exists alongside mystic artifacts – where super-scientists use their knowledge to create tools for trade, health, and combat – where mutants pit their powers against Winged Carnivorous Mastodons and other terrors of the wilds. Flex your mutated muscles, whisper the words of long-dead sorcerers, or repair the technology of a world long gone. Get your Thundaar on, because the world under the shattered moon is yours to explore.

This all-new Quick Deal presents Expeditious Retreat's complete S&SS RPG line, plus seven novels, for an unbeatable bargain price. For just US$12.95 you get all twenty-one titles in our Super Science Collection (retail value $61) as DRM-free ebooks, including .PDFs of the complete Sorcery & Super Science! corebook; the ZZZ Quick Guide to North America location sourcebook; ten small supplements with Characters, Creatures, and Objects Below the Shattered Moon; the adventures Scourge of the Mall Rats and Vulture Men of Waukegan; and ePub versions of the seven-novel Shattered Moon series.

NTRPG Con - Its a Wrap!

It's pretty much a wrap here at NTRPG Con. All that is left is the final goodbyes, to be said at the hotel bar in a few, after a few drinks and then heading off to bed. We need to catch the 7 am shuttle to the airport in the morning.

To say NTRPG Con was amazing this year would be an understatement. It broke attendance records - 517 attendees if I recall correctly - and more first-timers than I can ever remember. 

A reoccurring note from the new attendees? Even for first-timers, NTRPG Con is like being with family. The environment is relaxed, the people are welcoming, the OSR vibe is strong as hell, and the weekend went by way too fast. Isn't that always the way.

As an aside, I met well over a dozen attendees that told me not only was this their first time at NTRPG Con, but that they learned about the con due to The Tavern's YouTube Channel. Now THAT is a good use of one's influence ;)

If I have one regret, it's that I didn't get pics with all of the people I wish I had. James Raggi and Courtney Campbell are at the top of my "missed pics list", but there are others. Still, I got some quality time in with both, so my complaints are minimal. Heh!

So glad I finally caught up with Kelsey Dionne of ShadowDark fame and fortune today, after a weekend of the two of us constantly missing each other. Just as awesome in person as she is online, if not more so. Her wife is pretty cool too! Look for more ShadowDark coverage on the blog and the YouTube Channel, and hopefully a return of Kelsey for another Talking Crit Live. There is simply so much for us to talk about.

Got to meet Aaron Koelman face-to-face for the first time. Simply an amazing man. I truly appreciate everything this community has done to support Aaron and his family in these difficult times. We connect on many levels, and for that, I consider myself blessed.

Alright, time for a mini-photo dump:
