Tonight at midnight, the Third Annual Wayne Foundation Charity Pack is going on sale. Short form: You get just over $200 worth of gaming content (core books, supplements, maps, art, and ebooks) for $25, and all the profit goes to the Wayne Foundation to help them combat child slavery and exploitation worldwide. Package includes: quote:Chaotic Shiney Productions For those of you who read all that and care about Evil Mastermind's recommendations, BareBones is a great sort-of-retroclone where classes are treated as skills, Something Went Wrong is good for those of you who like Fiasco-style games, the Toys For The Sandbox stuff is great self-contained locations for any fantasy game, Hero Kids is a game designed to be played with kids and has been getting a ton of good press, and Misspent Youth is Hunger Games/Battle Royale the RPG (and I'm about a year behind on reviewing it for the FATAL thread).

So apparently there's now a "Humble Indie Bundle" for tabletop RPGs: Tabletop Drop. It's a "pay anything for this bundle of games" deal, but it's not set up like the Humble Bundle where they tell you the average donation is, or how much has been raised. Also one of the games is "TIER: The Enhanced Roleplaying Game", which came up in g.txt a while back because it's an attempt at classless d20 by a guy who's apparently never played any games outside 3.x and 4e. So there's that. I have heard good things about Spears of the Dawn, though.

Speaking of bundle deals (well, I was, anyway), in about 13 hours from now the Bundle of Holding +2 will launch. I don't know what's going to be in it, but Fred Hicks of Evil Hat hinted that he'll have something in there. e: It looks like they're doing the "pay above the average and get bonus stuff" thing too.

Green Ronin is releasing a digital Free RPG Day pack. The Mutants & Mastermind 3rd edition Hero's Guide (the PHB), ten pregens, and the first chapter of the Emerald City sourcebook. This is pretty much all you need to start playing M&M, which is a really good supers RPG that hits a nice middle point between Champions and Icons in terms of complexity.

Weird... Anyway, I do recommend ICONS if you want a rules-light-ish supers RPG. You don't build powers, they're all pre-built for you. If you like the game, I'd say it's worth getting Great Power, which has a ton more powers and some Fate Core conversion rules.

The new Bundle of Holding is up. Pay what you want for DRM-free copies of: "How We Came To Live Here" by Brennan Taylor "WITCH: The Road To Lindisfarne" by Kevin Barthaud & Richard Lacy "Psi*Run" by Meguey Baker Beat the average (currently about $11.50) to get: "Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple" by +Daniel Solis "Monster of the Week" by Michael Sands I recommend getting Do (which is a sort of Avatar-ish setting about flying monks helping people and getting into trouble) and Monster of the Week (which is basically "Supernatural: The RPG" based on Apocalypse World).

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).

The next Bundle of Holding won't be up for about 10 minutes or so (5pm EST), but they announced the contents already:quote:We're building up to Halloween (October 31) with a sequence of three one-week offers of terrific horror roleplaying games of every stripe. The first of the three, the new Bundle of Nerves that launches in a few minutes, features indie-style games -- they take the approach of "writing scary things on index cards" -- that explore chills and thrills from Kafkaesque paranoia to outright splatterfests. If anything scares you (other than programmers in transit from Houston), you'll find it in this collection.

DriveThruRPG's doing their Trick-or-Treat scavenger hunt again. You have to go through the various pages on the site to find the pumpkin icons, and if you click them you can get free products. The pumpkins aren't generally on product pages, but on pages like your library, the help page, and so on. It looks like you can get the following products:
What's cool too is that the pumpkins are in the same places on the other sites (WargameVault, DriveThruComics/Cards/Fiction) so you can get a bunch of free swag.

Despite my history with/feelings about Zak, I will say that Vornheim is a good book with some very cool ideas (like the drop table stuff and how to set up street chases on the fly), and is a hell of a lot more "weird fantasy" than the game it's technically a supplement for.
