Bundle of Holding - Cornucopia 2024


Sometimes, you want a collection of RPGs that pushes you out of your comfort zone. The current Bundle of Holding - Cornucopia 2024 - fills that bill. I'm not very interested in the Bonus Collection (I'm not a fan of Powered by the Apocalypse).

Adventurer! In time for the American Thanksgiving holiday, we present this all-new Cornucopia 2024, our twelfth annual feast of top-quality tabletop roleplaying game ebooks. For just US$14.95 you get all four complete games in our Starter Collection (retail value $73) as DRM-free ebooks:

Swyvers (Melsonian Arts Council): Luke Gearing's grotty-heist urban fantasy about gangs in a sprawling city your playgroup generates on the fly.

Fight to Survive (Radio James Games): James Kerr's tribute to down-and-dirty 1980s martial arts movies where your friends and comforts are just as important as your moves.

Syma (Gallant Knight Games): Alan Bahr's Old School incense-and-iron FRPG set in a medieval world where the Church has just fallen and undead Templars roam the land.

Exile: Dark Fantasy Roleplaying (One of Wands): Ema Acosta's dark, driven fantasy RPG of disgraced misfits, sentenced to a quick end in The Below, who resolve to forge their own path back home.

Kickstarter - DC Heroes Role-Playing Game 40th Anniversary



I was never a big supers gamer. That could be because my teenage friends collected Marvel Comics, and I was a big DC fan. Heck, even in college, DC Comics ruled for me. So, I never got into Marvel Super Heroes like others in my group did. I owned the Mayfair DC Comics rules but I never could get my group to play it.

Well, Cryptozoic is bringing the original DC Heroes game back, both in the first and second editions, in all its glory. I'm so tempted, but I'll never play it. Backer levels start at 60 bucks and increase from there.


Hero (Core Box)

$60

A heroic beginning! Get into DC Heroes by choosing either the 1st Edition or 2nd Edition Core Box!

SHIPPING WEIGHT: Tier items weigh approx. 13 lb (freight weight).

NOTE: Shipping will be charged via the pledge manager after the campaign.

Deal of the Day - MCCLXV: Evesham (System Neutral 13th Century Setting)


I'm a massive fan of settings, as I enjoy stealing ideas from various sourcebooks and creating something different and unique. Some settings I simply want for the reading. I suspect MCCLXV: Evesham will fulfill both desires.

Today's Deal of the Day is MCCLXV: Evesham. Usually, 8 bucks in PDF, but until tomorrow morning, it is on sale for 2.78

Where do your loyalties lie? To the king, despite his shortcomings, or to the radical nobles seeking to subvert the crown? 

MCCLXV: Evesham is a detailed setting for historically-based role-playing in 13th-century England during the Second Barons’ War. The resource includes the mechanics for building and running a medieval manor, introduced in Medieval Manager, and an expansive background on medieval England, including the key historical figures of the time, such as Henry III, Eleanor of Provence, Edward Longshanks, and Simon de Montfort. It includes dozens of tables for facilitating play, character descriptions, plotlines and hooks, as well as diagrams for castles, manors, churches, maps of English towns and countryside, as well as maps of the decisive 1265 Battle of Evesham itself.

MCCLXV: Evesham is a 165-page resource for roleplaying in the desperate 1260’s of medieval England, adaptable for any game system.

Purchasing note: This book includes material previously published as Medieval Manager. If your interest is ONLY in a fantasy manor and you own Medieval Manager, you already own what you want. MCCLXV: Evesham updates the mechanics and events to make them more realistic for the historical setting of mid- to late- 13th-century England and provides a historically-based setting for playing a manor in 1260's England.

Kickstarter - Gary's Appendix: Issue 7

Truth in advertising. I've known Jeff Jones for several years, and he laid out the first two issues of Torchlight as well as the never-released Swords & Wizardry Continual Light Digest Edition. (Thank you, WotC, and your damn OGL drama!)

I've been enjoying Gary's Appendix series thus far, and Issue 7 looks to be another keeper. I love the cover artwork on the current issue, and Ropers have always been a weakness of mine ;)

Gary's Appendix: Issue 7 is available in PDF for 5 bucks or Print plus PDF for 19 bucks.

Gary's Appendix: A periodical zine filled with articles and an expanded bestiary for the OSR, using Old School Essentials mechanics where necessary. 

Gary's Appendix wraps up 2024 by following up our Dragons issue with the other half of the equation: Dungeons...or at least underground exploration. Issue #7 comes packed with eight articles on caves, mining, gemstones, fungus, and a whole lot more. So grab your torches and a gullible friend or two – it's time to go spelunking!

Cyber Monday DoorBusters at DTRPG

It's that time of year when bargains and truly deep discounts can be found for RPG PDFs at DTRPG. Our last batch was on Black Friday. Our final batch is here for Cyber Monday—prices are good through tomorrow. Also, there is a Deal of the Day at the bottom of the post.


Tomorrow City - it has a cool cover; this is the first I've heard of it. It sounds like steampunk supers, which is my least enjoyed genres. The price is right at 4.90

Cities Without Number - by Kevin Crawford, the OSR machine. For 4.99, its a hell of a bargain for OSR style Cyberpunk


The Gamemaster's Book of Villains, Minions, and their Tactics - at 3.39, I'll gladly add this to my book of DM tricks.

When the Wolf Comes - Viking roleplaying always strikes my interest. At 3.99, it's a tempting buy.

Rokugan - this appears to be an art book for Legend of the Five Rings. 5.99

Tales of the Valiant Player's Guide - brought to you by the debacle known as OGL 2.0, Tales of the Valiant is Kobold Press' rejiggering of 5e. Personally, I preferred it under the working title Black Flag. 6.99



Deal of the Day - Castles & Crusades Players Handbook - The latest printing of Castles & Crusades. What more can I say? 15 bucks

Humble Bundle - Monument Studio TTRPG Audio Compendium

I'll be honest with you. I last attempted to integrate audio effects into one of my gaming sessions in decades. That being said, Ol' Man Grognard, aka Glen Halstrom, makes ample use of such effects, and they certainly add atmosphere and flavor.

The Monument Studio TTRPG Audio Compendium Bundle at Humble Bundle nearly escaped my attention, but it's here now. Time is short, so if you want to grab any of this (for as little as a buck), don't hesitate.
