The World of Millennium Blades Art Book is free on RPGnow, which has the RPG variant for the board game. I know some folks were pretty interested in that and missed out. I just don't remember who. The other Level 99 game art books are also up, and are $5 each.

I was, thanks! I'd managed to buy a copy from their site, but I won't say no to a free digital copy.

Mind flay the gap.
Red Markets is great. Even if you aren't into the zombie setup, the mechanics work very well for scarce resources and difficult, tense combat.

It's one of my favorites. This seems like a pretty great bundle.

There's a place towards the bottom where it says "Choose where your money goes", and by clicking on it, you can set the amount of money received by Frog God Games to "$0.00".

It's a little hard to notice because they don't highlight it anymore, but most Humble Bundles let you decide how much money the publishers, humble, and the charity gets down to the penny.

Good products overall aside from Fifth Edition Feats which is just a mess. The Troll Lord Games adventures are good, I was happy to snag the Rappan Athuk maps for cheap, and the Revenge of the Horde bestiary is excellent.


In a similar vein, anyone have any experience with these sets of maps from Bundle of Holding?

Evil Hat is doing a big old clearance sale of slow-moving stock, and it is unlikely to be reprinted. Sorry those across the pond, it's USA-only.

https://www.evilhat.com/home/diamonds-in-the-rough-our-big-inventory-clearance-sale/

Notable inclusions include the Atomic Robo RPG and its expansion for $10/ea. I've heard Atomic Robo is the best form of FATE, so I grabbed a copy.

There's also a book of Don't Rest Your Head stories and the Don't Rest Your Head boardgame if you like DRYH as much as I do.

From the in depth review here I could see that it actually uses the anthromorphic animals shtick to good gameplay mechanics, and no horrible fetish content.

Does anyone have any opinions on Esper Genesis? It looks like the Starfinder analog to 5e, and as someone who likes 5e and is getting progressively more fed up with Starfinder I'm wondering if it's worth taking a look at.

Ironclaw is a really good game with surprisingly unique mechanics that I wish I would see more places. Whenever I have played it the flavor has always been more like a serious version of Robin Hood and not like the creepy furry thing you might imagine.

Having like 80 races to choose from is nice.

I've been looking at Cthulhu Dark. The author has the system up at http://catchyourhare.com/files/Cthulhu%20Dark.pdf if you want to look at the base rules, but the real book is very good. The real book also replaces the "insanity" mechanic for an "insight" mechanic. The change is literally just calling it insight instead of insanity, but it is a change I am wildly in favor of for a variety of reasons that I could go into if I thought anyone cared about my two cents. I'm currently retrofitting an old CoC scenario so I can run it w/ CD, I havn't actually run a session yet. That being said, it looks really straightforward to use for a non-mythos horror story where everyone discovers a little bit more than they ought to have and mostly die horribly at the end.

I'd have to reread Ironclaw again, but I'd wager that it's totally possible to dial down the furry components if not excise them completely, but then you sorta end up losing some of the original flavor.

Lovecraftesque
It's a one-shot for 5 players, takes 2-3 hours. One of my favorites, the rotating roles and the fact that the rules push for whoever is playing The Witness to push for sane explinations allows some very slow and creepy tension building to come crashing down on you at the end.

As to what I'm looking for in a game, I'm of the opinion that less is more when it comes to horror so I'm interested in minimalistic systems.

It is, but keep in mind before you purchase that it's not standalone. You'll also need a copy of the base rules, which are in Fragged Empire as Kingdom doesn't include them.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I picked up Fragged Empire during its Bundle of Holding run a while back and it's pretty fascinating, if slow going because I'm a slow reader and it's pretty dense.
