Good article - interesting to see how Kickstarter moneys work and approx how much actually money (not a lot) he'd be taking home if he actually honoured all the pledges and produced the comic. I had a look at the freestartr pages, and one of the things that stood out was Captain EU talking about health insurance and dental to the new recruit. It's just not a pressing concern to EU citizens the way it is to Americans. (Yes, I know I'm missing the point about what actually makes the comic objectionable)

Are you a citizen of the EU? Alt-Hero's publisher is trying to tell me that all their winnings are tax free, so nyah nyah. Sounds fishy, so could use the expertise of a European business owner. Start making calls, I'll expect your list on my desk by 5!

That doesn't sound right. You could set it up so that you're paying corporation rather than personal tax, then do all the usual nonsense to turn it into not - profit, but I can't see how they'd be intrinsically tax free? Maybe if they're (the donations) classed as gifts rather than payment for goods and services? Note I am not an accountant

Ted "Actual Neanderthal supremacist, why is that a thing" Beale does have a publishing company so maybe he's smart enough to set up an LLC and do said numbers wrangling. But IIRC his dad was a tax denier so maaaybe not.

Bunch of OSR stuff on the newest Bundle of Holding. $12.95 Tier: The Nightmares Underneath Mortzengersturm Gathox Vertical Slum Red Tide Bonus Tier: Index Card RPG Dragon Kings An Echo, Resounding 2016 Dodecahedron Cartographic Review The only thing on this list I've heard of that immediately pops out to me is Red Tide, which is $8 on its own on DriveThru. Any insight on the rest? How is Dragon Kings as a "spiritual successor" to Dark Sun (which owns)?

Bundle of Holding does not allow you to change allocations. They're set by agreement between the creators and BoH, so you can't stiff anybody to give it all to charity like you can with Humble Bundle.

Serf posted:what i really need to know is if i can pick this bundle up without giving any money to nazis None of the people involved, thus far, are Nazis, and "An Echo, Resounding" is pretty much the Red Tide guy's answer to all the late game stuff that people begrudgingly praise ACKS for. The Nightmares Underneath is available from DTRPG in an free, art-less form, and is by Johnstone Metzger who is otherwise known for a bunch of DungeonWorld stuff.

I would characterize a lot of the authors there as the OSR types who mostly are A) accustomed to AD&D and B) just want a framework to hang their setting material from and C) aren't paralyzed by deep-seated emotional problems that drive them to hate other RPGs/women/SJWs/etc. Kevin Crawford is definitely in that camp though he's much more willing to experiment and try to develop systems to bring about the feel he wants and has done mostly good stuff.

Red tide and an Echo Resounding are great. An echo resounding may actually be the best kingdom management sourcebook ever.

Drivethru RPG has a new charity bundle for Stacy Dellorfano, the founder of ConTessa, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer:Help Stacy Kick Cancer's rear end posted:Cancer sucks. It really does. Let me tell you the story of how all this happened... It's $20, and looks like it's mostly 5e and Pathfinder adventures and micro-supplements, but there are a few interesting-looking exceptions, including High Valor (narrative, Trait-based early medieval/dark fantasy) and Gingerbread Kaiju (a very silly board game about giant monsters who happen to be made out of baked goods), an intro adventure for a game called Claustrophobia! (Garden Gnomes reenact The Core), and a couple of Medusa's Guide for Gamer Girls essay collections. I don't have any experience with any of those, but they look interesting and seem to have decent reviews, and if you're looking for a huge grab bag of 5e/Pathfinder stuff this definitely has that. Also, you can help someone defray the costs of the horribly broken US medical system.

Cassa posted:How is that? Is it more useful as a DM aid or just general useful world building? So, one thing you need to keep in mind is that the lore behind vampires varies completely from game to game. Are all vampires descended from one cursed Wallachian noble? Is vampirism a prion created in a secret Soviet lab? Are vampires just people given inhuman strength and thirst by a fourth-dimensional meteorite that landed in north Africa a thousand years ago? That's up to your GM to decide, because that's probably one of the big mysteries you're going to discover in play. So you read the Edom Field Manual and Dracula Unredacted all you like, but there's no guarantee that anything in either of them actually applies to your game. Still, the Edom Field Manual does have some rules for playing as spies that still have actual support from spy organizations (which are tailored towards Edom, obviously) and the Edom Files contains a bunch of standalone adventures set across over a century of European history that you can run on their own. Also there's just ripping cool ideas from Dracula Dossier and putting them in your own game. I'm willing to say you can get $30 of value out of the bundle even if you don't run Dracula's Dossier. (But then, I like NBA so of course I'd say that.)

I think the reverse is also true and there's enough inside Dracula's Dossier to be of interest even if you never plan to run it in system. It's full of cool bits for any modern day game.

Great product just to steal ideas from you have to be a Game Master Wizard to run that poo poo. It's so high quality I'm afraid of letting the material down, if that makes sense.

Even if you strip every bit of Dracula out of the Dossier it's still a good like half a hundred writeups for contacts and nemeses for a modern spy game.

Yeah. I love Dracula, so the unredacted copy of the novel is a big selling point. But you could pretty easily go Dracula/vampire agnostic technothriller with the resources in the book. That's especially true if you go with the telluric bacteria angle; you could adapt the powers to fit all manner of opponents.

Here's the archived review. Not my thing but it's unlike the awful fetish stuff we encounter weekly on F&F. If you're looking for an military (with existentialist overtones) RPG you could do a lot worse.
