The new Bundle of Holding is more Fate stuff.


Day After Ragnarok, Base Raiders, Tianxia, and The Pirate's Guide to Freeport are all really good.

Haven't read the others but Day After Ragnarok is really good. It's only weakness is that I wish there was more of it.

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.

Wait a minute. 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?

Wish I noticed that before I beat the average for Beyond the Wall. Welp.

Does BoH still add in more games as the bundle goes on?

Red and Pleasant Land is a very creative book, worth reading, and some people hate the author with internet passion. Death of the author, yo; enjoy the product for what it is or give it to a friend.

Thoses scifi pictures really sell that setting. 70's fashion crossed with scifi is not an art direction I knew I wanted more of until now.

What is Fever-Dreaming Marlinko ?

What is Osprey Publishing and what do they do? Are these games, books, settings, what?

Osprey publishing is awesome.

Originally they produced very well researched and illustrated (Angus McBride, etc.) short succinct military history books. Their main line was these very clear and well documented books on the major battles of history that are a joy to read.

Of course this appeals to hard core historical wargamers and they expanded into that field with some wargaming rules at some point.

As to what are these Osprey Adventures? I don't know.

The The Nazi Occult is by Kenneth Hite though.

Edit: Beaten :negative:

Some free deals from Modiphius


Hi DriveThru-ers

We've just uploaded some of our new releases as free PDF downloads, including rules for Thunderbirds Co-operative Board Game, Airfix Battles, as well as the Quick-start guide to Mutant Year Zero!

Mutant Year Zero - Starter Booklet

She had wondered too far into the Zone. Tula had walked through the dark forest, followed the old rail tracks between crumbling ruins and rusting train wrecks, towards the glimmering silver disks by the horizon. She wanted to reach them so bad. Become a hero of the Ark. A famous stalker. Now, she would be a dead stalker. If the thirst didn't kill her, zone ghouls or the rot would. That's when she saw them. Scattered across the ground like metallic rag dolls. Machine beings. Dead for decades.Tula had heard stories of them. What had happened here? Suddenly she heard a noise. Growls. Voices. Tula drew her scrap pistol and got ready to fight for her life.

This booklet is an introduction to Mutant: Year Zero, the award-winning RPG by Free League Publishing and Modiphius Entertainment. Mutant: Year Zero takes you to a world after the great apocalypse, inhabited by mutants, robots and mutant animals. Using this booklet alone, you can get a taste of the game, including:

Create a unique character in minutes: play an Enforcer, Gearhead, Fixer of Stalker
Push your character's skills to the limits, unleashing unstoppable mutant powers in the process
Fight fast and furious battles, making every bullet count and using a detailed list of gruesome injuries
Experience three exciting zone sectors, giving you the perfect introduction to the Mutant: Year Zero universe

Scenic Dunnsmouth is a great village kit. Cheaper to buy it at $10 though. If it was in the first tier, the tier would be worth it.

Edit: World of the Lost any good? Advertises as a 180 page hex crawl encounter.

Wasn't there an encumberance rules change as well?

Mechanically the rules difference from D&D is slight.

Some of the system agnostic supplements are good. Quelong by Ken Hite and Dunsmouth which I referenced earlier. Most of the others feel like adventures that have less detail than an old Dungeon magazine submission.

I'm currently working on a magic school hex crawl which will be the most comprehensive work to date once it gets released. So in time that book may eclipse Death to Alignment as my favorite, given the amount of love and labor I put into its creation.

Magic school hex crawl is a good idea

Have the Drive-thru sites been making GBS threads the bed for anyone else lately? I had to fight to download Apocalypse World the other day, and just now it's booted me in the middle of trying to buy the Standing Rock bundle and refusing to let me log back in.

Yes actually. I was wondering if it was just me. Two days ago it was not accepting my credit card for unknown reasons. A day ago it worked fine.

To piggyback onto EM's recommendation, Night's Black Agents has a brilliant GM tool for creating a conspiracy plot called the "Conspyramid".

Think of how the Mafia is set up or the fictional Stringer Bell/Avon Barksdale criminal family in the Wire.

Well worth the price of admission for NBA and usable for any game system.

This store doesn't seem to load properly. At first it wouldn't let me register during checkout, I had to register through the menu. Then it wouldn't accept my billing information because it was "the wrong store." There's a dropdown for switching from United Kingdom to United States, but the website times out every time, so

Yeah I've been having the same problem all this week. Can't seem to get to checkout. Also SA is acting fucky and slow now. Welp.
