Latest Bundle of Holding is a set of indie noir/crime fiction RPGs. $6 gets you: The Big Crime Dirty Secrets Fastlane: Everything, All the Time One Last Job BTA ($13 or so at time of writing) gets you: A Dirty World (!!!!) - Greg Stolze's classic and the only one I'm familiar with here. Killshot: The Director's Cut Secrets and Lies: Hardboiled Triple Feature Streets of Bedlam (a Savage Worlds setting) Death Kisses Coldly (an adventure for The Big Crime) ADW's normally $10, so my question is whether there's anything else here that justifies the extra $3+.

One Last Job is good and worth at least $5.

We just wrapped up a campaign of it last year and it ended in a beautiful storm of betrayal and each character being worse off for getting involved. Would play again! I can definitely recommend Dirty Secrets too, it's got a really unique design. I will admit that I am biased as I am IRL friends with its author.

I'm running the F&D beginner game to intro people to Star Wars. Gonna go for the PF adventure and the 5E adventure. I'll pick up the 13th Age adventure if there are extras.

Dungeon Crawl Classics's got a  DM screen that I'm going to stand in line outside the store for before they open.(And then probably finally pull the trigger on DCC.)

They actually got 10 of them at my store, and DCC isn't the most popular title - but it's still free so I'd go earlier than later.

The first store I went to had their box of stuff but only one employee who couldn't leave the desk to get it while there were customers i the store. Second store I went to, they unpacked the box for me and told me to take whatever I wanted. They easily had 40 DCC screens. I took one. Apparently the box also included the most recent hardcover DCC book, which the woman insisted I take, along with a wooden dice box and one of every adventure. (Her: we have to get rid of all this stuff anyway, so you might as well take it.) I skipped a few things but they had 2 different Goodman Games 5th ed adventures, a Night's Black Agents adventure, and a quickstart for a superhero game. I felt like a jackass for taking the hardcover DCC book (I'm pretty sure it was for a GM to run the game as a demo, and told her so, but she insisted) so I bought some other stuff. Yay guilt buying!

The Night's Black Agents adventure is solid. I ended up playtesting someone's superhero heartbreaker. It was pile of d10s+addition based, which revealed how slow I am adding up 15 digit sums. (Super speedsters roll a lot of dice!)

If you're signed up for the Mantic newsletter before July 10th, you'll get a free PDF of Kings of War 2! Although I think the rules are expected to be free anyway, so this is a little confusing.

Is this what people are talking about when they talk about "oWoD" or "nWoD", and this is a complete game?

It is a complete game, although it has a lot of supplements that allow you to play things other than mortals. oWoD, or Old World of Darkness, is from the 90's, and is actually fairly different, in both rules and fluff.

Old vs New WOD is split where they did a systems overhaul and rewrote all the settings (to their detriment, in pretty much all but Changeling) in 2004. Followed by White Wolf getting bought out by the guys who run EvE Online in 2006, then getting out of the RPG business and selling off most of their properties to Onyx Path in 2012.

They have very different themes as well - grimdark horror for oWoD and personal mystery for nWoD. They're both complete games and good in their own ways - similar to OD&D and AD&D - look very similar, actually very different, both good for different reasons.

I really, really liked Werewolf: The Apocalypse's whole cosmology and attitude, and the new Werewolf went from being a whole society that is relentlessly hosed and doomed because they had one job and hosed it up majorly; to being a personal horror story about racial guilt where literally everything else in the universe hates you for something people previously sharing your curse did, and the antagonist equivalent of your characters (The Pure) are treated as the actual protagonists of the piece. New Vampire just never clicked because it felt too much like old Vampire with a few names changed around and a couple mechanics wedged in to nerf the Elder and Antediluvian metaplot.

I'd have to say I find the newer material to be a lot better written and internally consistent, where a lot of the old stuff is... well, dependent on how nostalgic you are for the '90s, IMO. The core World of Darkness book from '04 is a good bellwether for how much you'll like the rest of the line, in any case.Liquid Communism posted:I may be a bit bitter.

Taken on its own terms, I think it's actually one of the stronger new versions they did. It's not necessarily going to appeal to old Werewolf fans because it's a much more horrific, disempowering setting. But it also doesn't have the encouragement of bestiality that was in previous editions, which I find to be a big plus.

Onyx Path is a different company than White Wolf? I was under the impression it was a subsidiary of White Wolf. I'd love to know more about this. Who created/owns Onyx Path?

Onyx Path is a company founded by White Wolf's old creative director Rich Thomas after a ton of layoffs at CCP/White Wolf (Which are at least partly attributable to, surprise, Ryan Dancey's reverse midas touch leading to financial issues on the video game side) meant it was basically no longer in any sort of position to publish tabletop stuff. So Onyx Path gets founded, licenses the WOD stuff back from CCP/White Wolf, and buys the rights outright to Trinity and Scion to re-release those. Basically everyone freelancing for Onyx Path is former White Wolf, and the company's run by a former White Wolf employee, but it's not CCP/White Wolf.

The current Bundle of Holding has the excellent Spellbound Kingdoms, the only game I know of where being an awesome swashbuckler is pretty much the most mechanically advantageous thing you can do. The bundle would be worth getting just for that, but it also has Spears of the Dawn, of Fatal and Friends fame - a game made by Kevin Crawford, a guy who has literally never written a bad game. Yggdrasil also features and it's written by the people who made Qin: Warring States which I've heard good things about.

Just in time for a wrestling PPV, the creator of World Wide Wrestling is offering a $5 discount with code BATTLEGROUND to any of the WWW products on his online store. It's not a secret promotion from what I can tell, just an idea to hype the PPV a tiny bit while hopefully hyping a potential audience a lot. http://ndpdesign.com/online-store/?category=World%20Wide%20Wrestling EDIT: Ends at midnight tonight, but not sure on the time zone. Got 3.5 to 6.5 hours to get this one done.

World Wide Wrestling is an amazing game because I've run it with people who've never watched wrestling in their lives, who were pulling moves off those sheets that come with the play aids, and were still pulling off stuff that was totally appropriate for a wrestling show.
