Kickstarter - Ashes Without Number (Sine Nomine)

I'm a huge fan of Kevin Crawford and his Tag System. I own all of Kevin's core books in print and his non-core books in print and/or PDF. Ashes Without Number brings post-apocalypse roleplaying to the "Without Number" RPG Engine.

It should cover settings from Fallout to The Walking Dead and everything in between.

Ashes Without Number is $25 in PDF, $40 for at-cost POD and PDF, and $80 for PDF, a Smyth-sewn, offset-print hardback copy of the game. I'm in for the latter.

Ashes Without Number is a tabletop role-playing game for the end of the world. Whether as a civil collapse, alien invasion, zombie uprising, or post-apocalyptic wasteland, the game is built to give a GM the tools they need to carve out their own special slice of Hell.

Campaigns set amid radioactive dunes and savage mutant perils are supported in these pages, along with near-future tales of civil collapse, global plagues, and horrific shambling hordes. Just as with all Sine Nomine games, however, the book is built to support a GM in fashioning their own personal apocalypse, building worlds and settings to explore the kind of games they want to run.

Ashes Without Number is built on the same sturdy old-school game system as its sister-games in the Without Number line. Whether the fantasy adventures of Worlds Without Number, the sci-fi explorations of Stars Without Number, or the cyberpunk desperation of Cities Without Number, the game within these pages is built to interface smoothly with all these resources. The old-school framework also allows easy importation of other OSR games and content to help flesh out your own campaign.

A classic framework of six attributes, hit points, saving throws, and other traditional elements is supported by genre-specific rules and tools for bringing the right flavor of ruin to the table. Gritty perils of disease, traumatic stress, lingering wounds, and starvation are pointed up for campaigns set in a tragic near-future chaos, while wasteland marauders have support for mutations, scrap-built gear, and enigmatic ancient tech. These systems are built to snap smoothly into place in your campaign, letting you pick the ones that fit the feel you're aiming to create.

But at its heart, Ashes Without Number is shaped around the same system-neutral Sine Nomine tools that have won the other Without Number games such a warm place in the hearts of working GMs. Tools for building adventures, ruins, survivor enclaves, looming crises, horrible mutant creatures, and a host of other useful content are all designed to be system-neutral and usable with your own game of choice. Need to put an exploration-worthy ruin into your game? Just follow these tables and guidelines to get a quick, playable chunk of gaming fun, from the site's first-glance impression to the useful salvage still left amid the rubble.

Genre-specific rules for supporting three different campaign genres: post-apocalyptic Mutant Wasteland games, zombie-infested Deadlands, and near-future societal collapse in After the Fall campaigns.

Deal of the Day - BX Advanced Bestiary, Vol 1

I really enjoyed the "Ecology of..." series in the classic era of Dragon Magazine. It made common - or even rare - creatures more than just a set of stats to kill or be killed by.

Today's Deal of the Day, BX Advanced Bestiary, Vol 1, appears to do that and more for a selection of creatures from the Old School Essentials Basic Book. I liked what I saw in the free preview and picked up a copy. Peek at the preview and see if the BX Advanced Bestiary, Vol 1, would fit your campaign.

Volume 1 of the BX Advanced Bestiary takes the monster entries A-D from the OSE Basic book and expands them with options, added details, use for monster parts, additional monsters, and playable classes based upon the same theme. A sample preview of the book can be foundhere. Each entry is illustrated. 

It includes rules for monster and animal training, several new race-as-class options (advanced cave locust, changeling, cyclopskin, dragonborn, and genasi), as well tables showing the monsters organized by HD, terrain, and type.

Deal of the Day - Twilight: 2000 (2.2e)

I remember running a handful of sessions of Twilight 2000 back in the 1980s when the Cold War was on everyone's mind. My gaming group was more focused on D&D and other Fantasy RPGs than modern or sci-fi genres, so we never stuck with Twilight: 2000. I think it would have been fun.

Today's Deal of the Day is Twilight: 2000 (2e). Normally, 20 bucks in PDF; until tomorrow, Twilight: 2000 (2.2e) is on sale for 10 bucks.

Newly updated to be fully compatible with Traveller: The New Era

The War has raged for years The high-tech ammo is almost gone. High-tech equipment is failing, piece by piece, with no spares to fix it. The front lines are held by a few grim, desperate soldiers.

The US 5th Division holds the line in Poland. Now, a Soviet encirclement has cut it off in a province ruled by ambitious warlords, local militias, and bands of marauding deserters. HQ is 200 klicks to the rear and powerless.

Your last order sets you free...

Deal of the Day - Woeful Barrows And Other Places for Shadowdark RPG

Shadowdark holds a special place in my heart. It's an old-school chassis with an engine built off of 5e. The ecology of high-quality releases from third-party publishers for Shadowdark is second to none.

Today's Deal of the Day is Woeful Barrows and Other Places for Shadowdark. Usually, it is $14.99 in PDF, but until tomorrow morning, it is on sale for $3.

A Shadowdark-compatible role-playing game adventure collection for level 1-5 characters.

The Queen of Brambles: Elf-Queen Lia's crypt was recently rediscovered. Do you dare disturb her resting place?

Shune's Door: In the hillside, a black steel door is etched with the diabolic glyph of Shune the Betrayer. What lies beyond?

Gorr's Tomb: Hatlitt Gorr was a renowned dragon-slayer, but the dwarf warlord succumbed to the curse of his dragon-tainted gold. Seek gold and glory, or a quick death.

The Amber Chimera: An old Elvish reflecting pool, a black obelisk, and a chimera carved from amber. Rumors talk about wealth, danger, and a gemstone beast that cannot die.

The Pale Vault: The Ebon Heart, an arcane relic of immense power, was secured in the Pale Vault. Will you brave the vault's wards and acquire the wooden heart?

Bundle of Holding - Palladium Fantasy 2e

I am a massive fan of the Palladium Fantasy rules. I like the Palladium system well enough (which breaks down with Rifts, IMHO), but the setting and support material are fantastic. You can grab the Palladium Fantasy 2e Starter set for 17.95. 

Adventurer! We've resurrected our January 2022 Palladium Fantasy 2E Bundle featuring .PDF ebooks for the 1996 Second Edition of The Palladium Fantasy Role-Playing Game, Kevin Siembieda's tabletop fantasy RPG from Palladium Books. The mystical world of Palladium is a land rich in magic. The Wolfen Empire prepares for war in the Great Northern Wilderness, and the Giant kingdom of Mount Nimro threatens nearby human, elven, and dwarven settlements. Mystics, Knights, and Barbarians call upon the gods for powers both new and arcane to bend the world to their will. On the high seas, pirates sail to islands like the Isle of Zy and the Island of the Cyclops. Against a host of legendary creatures, and the backstabbing intrigues of the high courts, you'll need dragon-forged will, deceptive guile, and a stout backbone to survive.

For just US$17.95 you get all six titles in this revived offer's Starter Collection (retail value $71.50) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Palladium Fantasy RPG 2E core rulebook, The Heart of Magic rules expansion, the sourcebooks Monsters and Animals and Dragons & Gods, and the introductory setting sourcebooks The Western Empire and Library of Bletherad.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $33.34, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Bonus Collection with ten more setting sourcebooks worth an additional $125, including Wolfen Empire, Eastern Territory, Land of the Damned 1 - Chaos Lands and 2 - Eternal Torment, Mount Nimro, Baalgor Wastelands, Northern Hinterlands, Bizantium and the Northern Islands, Old Ones 2E, and Adventures on the High Seas 2E.

Free OSR - Cha'alt (Gonzo Setting/Adventure)

I should number these Free OSR posts, but I'm too lazy. :) 

Venger—love or hate him- produces some excellent material for your Old School campaign. Cha'alt is a bit of a setting book, a bit of an adventure module, and 100% gonzo. Even if gonzo isn't your cup of tea, for the price of FREE, can you really go wrong?

Cha'alt is the beast of a book (218 pages) I've been working on for the past year.  It's a ruined world focusing on a couple of introductory dungeons before getting to the main event - the megadungeon known as The Black Pyramid.  

The Black Pyramid is like nothing you've ever seen before.  Unique design, purpose, feel, magic items, NPCs, monsters, factions, motives, agendas, strangeness, the works!

There's a decent amount of setting detail besides dungeoncrawling - space opera bar, domed city, mutants, weird ass elves, desert pirates, a city ruled by a gargantuan purple demon-worm, and much more!

Cha'alt is compatible with both old school and 5e D&D purposefully blended for maximum usability.  Full disclosure: aside from advantage/disadvantage and bounded accuracy, there isn't much in the way of 5th edition mechanics. It's predominantly OSR.

I've included my own Crimson Dragon Slayer D20 as an appendix, but you can use any of the hundred RPG systems available to run Cha'alt as your own.  The rules-language is fairly neutral, and my priority was helping the Game Master at the table.

The world is gonzo, eldritch, science-fantasy, and post-apocalyptic.  It's a wild ride, perfect for those players seeking something a little bit different, but also recognizable. 

The interior is gorgeous full-color art, layout, cartography and Lovecraftian aesthetics.  Gold ENnie winner Glynn Seal of MonkeyBlood Design went above and beyond his usual fantastic job.  Give the new 32 page preview a look.  I spared no expense making Cha'alt fantastic - this world is alive and spilling over with possibilities.

Cha'alt should give you years of solid, non-standardized gaming.

Free OSR - LotFP Rules & Magic Free Version

Continuing our meandering through our Free OSR resources, we come across LotFP Rules & Magic Free Version. LotFP is one of the better hacks of B/X, and hack it is because little remains of the original, yet it stays true to its heritage. It's free because it is art-free. Grab it if this still needs to be added to your digital bookshelf!

Beyond the veil of reality, beyond the influence of manipulating politicians, greedy merchants, iron-handed clergy, and the broken masses that toil for their benefit, echoes of other realms call to those bold enough, and desperate enough, to escape the oppression of mundane life. Treasure and glory await those courageous enough to wrest it from the darkness. But the danger is great, for lurking in the forgotten shadows are forces far stranger and more perilous than even civilization. The price of freedom might be paid in souls.

LotFP: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing presents a sinister and horrific twist on traditional fantasy gaming. Simple enough for a beginner yet meaty enough for the veteran, this game will make all your worst nightmares come true.

This book is a revision of the Rules & Magic book originally found in the LotFP: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing boxed set. It contains all the rules needed to play the game.

Free OSR - Wormwood (OSR Edition)

We continue our delve into the often overlooked corner of the OSR - free and precious resources that have been overshadowed and undervalued.

Today, we look at Wormwood, a 6th-century setting/resource for OSE and other OSR systems. Note that this is still a work in progress.

"For the sun gave forth its light without brightness, like the moon, during the whole year.” So wrote Byzantine historian Procopius of the year 536 A.D., the year the first of three catastrophic volcanic eruptions in Iceland would drop global summer temperatures by 1.5 to 2.5 degrees Celsius and herald the beginning of the coldest decade on record in 2,000 years. Migrations of Germanic, Hunnic, and Slavic tribes have swept aside and now pick over the remains of the Western Roman Empire, sacking Rome itself and establishing a network of “barbarian kingdoms” across the west. Crop failure, famine, the Justinian Plague will devastate a fractured Europe for the next hundred years. Of all the time periods called the “Dark Ages,” this is surely - both literally and figuratively - the darkest.

This historical context is interwoven with both “authentic” medieval folklore and the classic elements of 19th- and 20th-century fantasy fiction found in your typical Appendix N. This ‘Dark Year’ and all of its tumultuous events provides players and Judges a compelling backdrop upon which to project historical fantasy adventures. While based upon historical context, these are works of fiction: liberties have been taken where doing so would be entertaining. Weave fiction and fantasy as you please, and above all: Fight On!

This book contains 95 pages of rules for: expanded character creation, cultures, languages, soubriquets, mass combat, social status, equipment, estates & strongholds, trade goods & services, crime, punishment & trials, medicines, poisons, and retainers - - everything referees and players could want to set their old-school fantasy role-playing campaigns within a 6th century Europe historical fantasy setting.

Free OSR - The Sepulchre of Seven (OSE Adventure for Levels 5-7)

The Sepulchre of Seven is a highly rated adventure for OSE, which makes it suitable for any OSR ruleset with little if any, work. The price is right at FREE ;)

Long ago a half-elf, half deer-centaur named Jayne led a small guerilla band against the armies of an evil fae witch.

They prevailed at terrible cost.

Over centuries, the Church erased all memory of Jayne’s fae nature.

Monsters moved into her hideout-turned-sepulchre, still haunted by Jayne’s enemies and companions, and a ghost longing to complete his vengeance..

In this 39-room dungeon, adventurers will discover the fates and true faces of Jayne and her unremembered companions.

Will they get out with forgotten riches, or become the latest victims of a centuries-old tragedy?

The product includes: a fully-linked interactive PDF + player-friendly VTT maps.

Adventurer!

The Níu Heimar (Nine Homeworlds) are your setting for sagas of phenomenal trial or great personal sacrifice. Ragnarök has struck throughout the shattered timelines; the Fates send your heroes, pawns in a cosmic game, to stand against doom across the Kingdom of the Heavens. In this elementally hazardous universe, perhaps all that matters is how you meet the end.

This all-new offer gives you the entire Vikingverse line for an unbeatable bargain price. For just US$14.95 you get all seventeen titles in our Vikingverse Collection (retail value $61) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete standalone 392-page When the Wolf Comes core rulebook; three short but intense rules expansions – Space Vikings, Doomcraft, and Death Metal; the character expansions Paths of Honor and Paths of Shame; and the complete 11-part Thought & Memory Saga Campaign Bundle.

Kickstarter - Cathedral Dice – Inspired by Gothic Stained Glass

 

Sharp-edged, double-cast resin RPG dice sets, crafted larger to showcase intricate details

Like many gamers, I have a weakness for dice. At this point, it's rare for me to find dice that excite me. The Cathedral Dice Kickstarter actually excites me, even if the price point has the potential to scare me off.

A set of 3d6 goes for $35. A single D20 Chonk (giant 35mm d20) costs $65. A set of 7 dice goes for $85. For $140, you can snag the Chonk and the 7 dice set.
