For anyone interested in what the itch.io community is putting out these days, there are two collections of microgames, "lyric" games, larps, and system-neutral supplements on sale today for charitable causes. We've got the Humble Mabel Bundle which is a frankly absurd value at $5, but which ends at midnight tonight. The Thoughty Bundle-Up is up for a bit longer, and includes Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands which is almost worth the price of admission by itself.

Show me your best black friday stuff.

Battle Systems are talking up a 30% discount on some of their dope terrain sets.

Knights of Dice [australian] have 25% off with the code code XMAS2019, they have some incredible scifi and cyberpunk stuff.

Miniature Scenery [aus again] have 20% off their Malifaux looking terrain.

Drivethru RPG has a Black Friday sale. Highlights include
  • Invisible Sun $20 down from $100. Do you want to see Monte Cook at his most Monte Cook?
  • Vampire 5e at $8 down from $25 (Vampire 20 is currently $20 down from $30 and most of the other 20th editions have the same sort of discount)
  • Savage Worlds $2 down from $10
  • L5R $25 down from $50
  • The Witcher $5 down from $25
And plenty more if you poke around.

Ban-thing the man-things.
I posted it in TG Chat, but I might as well post in here too. I've got a bundle of my two Itch products and a super rough draft version of my upcoming product grimDARK: The Grimdarkening, all for $5 to help me raise money for lovely broke-but-need-to-survive expenses stuff.

https://itch.io/s/24286/human-autumn-feast-holiday-bundle

ETA: Oh, I am soliciting feedback on grimDARK: The Grimdarkening by the way! I'd love to know what people think, so DM me or find me on another website or something. This is literally the rough draft; there will be more stuff in the final version, but this version is playable and appears to work as intended.

This is just the normal way FFG sell PDF copies of their physical games, where they list the physical price and the PDF as "discounted" from that. IIRC its normal price is $25, so it's not actually discounted at all.

Pretty sure that's standard DTRPG policy for games with physical versions, not the L5R people specifically doing it.

It's a bit dodgy.

Nope! Standard DTRPG policy just lists the PDF as normal:



You have to specifically go out of your way to configure it the way FFG does, not that they're the only ones who do this.

I contacted support at one point to see if there was a way I could see all of the "discounted" games that weren't showing up in the sale list. End result of that conversation was a more brand-friendly version of what Lemon-Lime said. If something is discounted but not in the unsearchable-list-o-sale-items, it's maybe not actually on sale. I mean it could be a manual sale but given there's no price history info available and the items on my wishlist have been on sale since 2014-ish, making broad statements like that should be somewhat safe.

Lulu has a 30% off code, CYBERMONDAY30. If you bought stuff on their 25% off Black Friday deal, try asking customer service to refund the difference because it's basically the same loving "holiday" and they're being shits. But mostly it's a good deal.

A user named Magicdad on reddit made Magic Jr for his 3 year old daughter and, after checking with WotC, has released it for free to the public. It's a fun idea and I might try it with my 4 year old as soon as I print it and stuff.

Is there anything worth getting on Lulu? I already have Reign and most of the rest of what I'm seeing is OSR stuff and heartbreakers of various genres.

There's some very good OSR stuff?

Unfortunately, the site is loving trash for finding anything of interest, so you basically have to hope someone's made a good list. All of the lists I can find are by OSR nerds.

If you're into wargaming, the History of Wargaming Project (John Curry) has some reprints of old stuff. The format is a bit :effort: at the best of times, and some of them you're better off just buying a cheap original copy, especially Featherstone, but there's some neat stuff there. Mostly historical interest or modern grognardry about professional wargaming though.

This is perfect timing. My 5yo is bummed that Pokemon ccg is probably too much reading still, and this is a great price of basically free, but it's looking like it will easily earn a trip to Patreon for me.

Bonus points for maybe getting the kid hooked on MtG instead of Pokemon. Great deal, thanks!

We don't do every single Bundle of Holding but since The One Ring is about to go out of print forever it's worth noting that Bundle of Holding has two bundles up containing most of the current line. Also comes with a coupon for a discount on the print books.

Did Free League ever explain why they've been making all their games totally free for a day for the last couple of months? I'm curious whether this is just a drive to get more people owning the base game so they buy supplements, or if they're preparing to release second editions of all their games.

The free books are generally the core book that you would need to have to make use of their latest product.

Tales from the Loop was free because Out of Time came out. Symbaroum is free because of Symbar - Mother of Darkness.

I don't recall what the deal was with Mutant Year Zero. Elysium, maybe?

So this may qualify - but only if you are around Alpharetta GA. An estate sale with tons of gaming stuff, some still shrink wrapped.

The games start a good way down, so it takes some scrolling to get there.

Same. I looked through a bunch of other Atlanta listings but they were all lame. I suspect it’s rare that a meganerd gamer sells off all of their poo poo (or potentially dies :( ).

I learned recently that estate sales often don’t involve anyone dying, sometimes it’s a divorce or international move or something.

Since there's a bunch of RPG sales right now, I'm self-promoting.

If my games aren't good enough for you, Onyx Path is doing a free oWoD20 products once a day all week, and the slightly-appropriative Urusei simulator Teenagers from Outerspace.

Dead lands gives an error on checkout for me. Is it region locked?

Next edition dead lands Kickstarter is due this month too.

e: wasn't region locked, I tripped their spam filter or something. After trying every so often logging in then out again finally triggered the next step of the filter, then it let me log in, then I could get it. Sweet.
