Okay, now you've got my attention. After getting down to the C's and things like this:quote:Somewhere in the dark, dank, cyclopean (and other long words) depths of the sea, Great Cthulu lies dreaming and, when he wakes up, he's going to have an eon's worth of morning wood to work off. Cue our adventurous heroines who are, futilely, going to try and placate the great tentacled beastie before he destroys the world in sheer, sexual frustration. ...I didn't have the heart to dig deeper before.

Lemme guess - something by Postmortem Studios? EDIT - filter the sale by publisher to get to the good stuff. Pelgrane Press (Trail of Cthulu) have a stack of stuff in there, as do Arc Dream (Unspeakable Oath, Monsters and other Childish Things), Spectrum Games (Macabre Tales) and others. Atomic Overmind have Ken Hite's Dubious Shards in the sale - anything by Ken is pretty much golden, Trevellian fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Aug 23, 2013 |

Speaking of Lovecraft, the Bundle of Holding +5 is up. Your goodies this time are three novels: Caller Unknown by Jennifer Brozek, Loremaster Legacy by Terry Amthor, and Sword of the Ronin by Travis Heerman. Can't speak to those, I got it for the non-fiction: Playing at the World, by Jon Peterson, which is a fantastic look at the history of D&D Tour de Lovecraft: The Tales, by Ken Hite, duh Never Unprepared, by Phil Vecchione, which is supposed to be a decent look at prepping for tabletop games Definitely worth it for Playing at the World and Tour de Lovecraft alone.

A dude on another forum was looking for a PDF version of early Star Wars RPGs - unfortunately they're not legally available, since West End Games lost the Star Wars license before electronic RPGs became viable. But this reminded me that the nearest thing to it, d6 Space, is not only still available, but free. (It approximates the second edition of WEG-era Star Wars RPG.)

Ooh. I've been curious about Dust Devils since Jason Morningstar hacked it but I didn't know where to get it or really anything else about it. And I've been hearing good things about Mars Colony and Our Last Best Hope. (I already own Annalise from a disaster relief bundle and Dog Eat Dog/Sorcerer from their respective Kickstarters, but oh well.)

Dust Devils is on rpgnow, you can get it there if you miss this. Of these games, 4 of 6 are brilliant, the last 2 are "merely" great. (I wrote a short story for the OLBH fiction collection, IDK if it's included here.)

Avalon is having a $1 sale - I can't attest to the quality of their clip art or minis because I don't use those that much, but their Fuzion game Lightspeed is fun, especially if you're an old person like me and you're like "Fuzion, oh man!!"

Two games were added to the Bundle of Holding: The Agency: Spy adventures in the Britan of the swingin' 60s. Heroine: A game about a young girl who gets pulled (or drops) into a strange magical world, and the allies and enemies she makes. So that's 6 games for any pledge, with Sorcerer and Last Best Hope if you beat the average (currently about $13).

If you're looking for something to buy at dndclassics so you're not a complete freeloader with the Temple, you can get BECMI Basic for $5 (either the 1981 or 1983 edition - "D&D's such a failed game that it had 2 editions within 2 years!!!!!@!!!!"), probably the two biggest selling things in all RPG-dom, ever, for many very good reasons that become clear on a review.

I really like this "here are a bunch of games sharing the same system" model that they've been adopting with the FATE bundle and now this one. I hope they end up doing more bundles in that vein.

They added the adventure books for Ashen Stars (Dead Rock Seven) and Mutant City Blues (Hard Helix) to the Bundle of Gumshoe. I was hoping they would, since I was looking into Hard Helix. Still up until tomorrow, looks like.

A cool game that is excellent for younger kids is now Pay What You Want: Adventures in Oz. What makes this game so great is that it really tries to stick close to Baum not just in content but in style. Characters use wits and kindness to overcome conflicts and make strange friends who will help you later as you pass through the xenophobic and bizarre lands of Oz. Former price is $9 if you're interested in a gauge as to how much you should be Wanting to Pay: RPGNow download page I interviewed the creator along with the designers of two other Oz games 2 years ago, you can hear the interview here.

Well that's not all that Bundle of Holding has to offer this month:Bundle of Holding Newsletter posted:The Unknown Armies Bundle is the second of six offers we have planned for October. Together with "Feng Shui's Golden Comeback" and the next offer, the UA Bundle is part of a trio of quick (3-5 day) bundles focused on a single excellent game. These three offers together take up the first two weeks of the month. And there will be more Bundle of Holding Newsletter posted:During the latter half of October and the first few days of November, the Bundle of Holding offers a sequence of three one-week offers, each spotlighting a collection of horror RPGs from many publishers. Each horror bundle takes a different approach and hits different tender spots. There's something for every creepy taste. We're aiming to make the third one, around Halloween, spectacular.

If Godwalker's part of the bundle it doesn't appear to be up yet. (I don't really care personally since I bought it on Kindle ages ago, but it's a drat fine book and I hope other people get to enjoy it through the bundle.) But yeah, hot drat. The Bundle of Holding is on fire. I think I've only ever skipped one, maybe two of their bundles. Everything else has been an amazing package. (And I think the one(s) I skipped were because I already owned pretty much everything in them.)
