DriveThruRpg has ShadowRun 4E, Mongoose's Traveller, LotFR 4E and King Arthur Pendragon 5.1E pdfs for 75% off for the week. ShadowRun is getting a new Edition later this year, and the original guy behind Traveller is releasing a new edition later... this century(?), but they must be worth it at that price.

In about twenty minutes, the Stars Without Number bundle goes live. OD&D-style star-faring RPG, along with a book that shows you how to do military/naval-style campaign. If you pay more than average you get a supplement about extra equipment and Other Dust, a post-apocalyptic style RPG which stand-alone but compatible, that includes psychic mutants and stuff.

Bundle of Tentacles now up. A bunch of stuff to be used for (but the bundle doesn't contain) Call of Cthulhu and Trails of Cthulhu.
But if you pay over average (about $15 right now), you also get:

Bundle of Tentacles has now added Tarot of Cthulhu Major Arcana as a bonus. It seems to be mostly to add a "Deck of Many Cards" to your game (A D&D artifact that, when your characters draw a card, would give you a boon or a curse) but also gives you an idea to use an actual tarot deck to random generate events in your game.

The Bundle of Tentacles has added the bonuses of Shadows over Filmland (192 pages of adventure ideas for Trails of Cthulhu, inspired by old horror films like... well, Hammer Horror) and issues 18, 19 and 20 of the Unspeakable Oath, 64-page issues full of articles that deal with everything to do with Cthulhu-Mythos roleplaying. So that means more stuff for Call of Cthulhu and Trails of Cthulhu, but not the main rulebooks themselves. Just under two days to get it, minimum for the bonus stuff is now $16.34. Edit: Thought this was a little odd - the Unspeakable Oath issues are only in .Mobi and .EPub forms, with JPGs of their front covers. I would have thought they'd just be PDFs.

The new Bundle of Holding is up featuring the 6th Edition of the Hero system. You get the Champions Complete book, (which is basically the HERO System's core book now, but the extra stuff in it is for Superheroics) the HERO System Equipment Guide (Get spergy for all your bat-gadgets and ten-foot-poles) and Hero System Resource Kit. (Which is made for 5th Edition but there's not much difference between the two, 6th was just smoothing things out for the latest incarnation of Champions) It features a summery of character building rules, a GM Screen and some other useful stuff. So $7 gets you a decent start to playing a Supers game. Supers not to your taste? The Bonuses are Pulp Hero, (a 5th edition guide to running a Pulp game. An entire party of Doc Savages!) Star Hero (6th Edition, guide to playing a Sci-Fi game) and Fantasy Hero (As Star, but Fantasy). Looks pretty good. Anyone had experience with the HERO system?

Well, the HERO Bundle at Bundle of Holding has ended. They've teased an Audio-based bundle next, one with ambient background noises, sounds and music to play to immerse your players into the idea of being in a dungeon, or roaming the countryside or such. I've a bit of a collection of this myself, I hope they have people I haven't already have the album from.

David A. Hill Jr and Filamena Young, the minds behind Apotheosis Drive X (A FATE Core based Mecha game) and Flatpack - Fix the Future (The apocalypse has happened, but you don't give a drat, we gotta rebuild!) and they've also had their hands in a dozen other things, like the Marvel Roleplaying Game supplement Civil War and Eclipse Phase., have had their house burgled right before they were going to make a move to Japan and to their new jobs. Well, the Bundle of Holding is to the rescue - all proceeds will go to them. The Bundle Contents are a selection of stuff from their company, Machine Age Productions:
If you pay over the average:
ADX looks good, especially if you want to do a Mecha game (I'm sure it gives various flavours of them, too) and I've heard that Flatpack is a good game for kids. Maschine Zeit sounds fun, just getting together with friends until it's game over, game over man! or we go where we won't need eyes anymore. It launches in Two Minutes.

Bieeardo posted:I unsubscribed from the newsletter because I got tired of having to scroll down past rave reviews of the bundle that just finished before reaching word of the new one at the bottom. I don't know if it's because I read mail in text mode, or some kind of ad for laggards, but I figured that I could get word of them better here. Maybe you could hit the "End" button on your keyboard and scroll a little up? I wonder how many people who take McCracken up on his giveaway? It'll be hilarious if he can't even give away his ruleset.

The annual New Year, New Game sale is up on DriveThruRPG - a selection of Core(ish, 2300AD requires the Mongoose Traveller core book, there's at least one dungeon crawl campaign there but you could always get Dungeon Crawl Classics with it!) Rulebook games. There are some interesting ones, like Numenera, Call of Cthulhu (Got the Cthulhu Bag of Holding? Well now you can get the core rulebook for under £6) and... a german translation of a Black Crusade book?

The new Bundle of Holding is up - its Spirit of the Century, a FATE game about pulp-era heroes fighting similar villains. Everyone is Doc Savage in some form or another. $5 gets you the Core Rulebook, an adventure and a novel. Over the average gets you a splat book about the SotC storyline over two decades and a PDF of a bunch of pulp characters (like Doc Savage) who you can rip-off for your character.

Lesserton and Mor is pretty good for a base of a sandbox "raiding the nearby ruins". You don't have a set map, it's largely randomly generated, giving a impression to the players of a huge, winding and complicated necropolis. Gnome Stew recommends it, along with Vornhiem.

Drone posted:I know very little about Traveller.. is this the one worth getting? https://bundleofholding.com/presents/MongooseTraveller It's effectively the original edition of Traveller, cleaned up a bunch. Imagine it the Labyrinth Lord to OE D&D. "2nd edition" Mongoose Traveller isn't hugely different, I'm sure books can be used interchangeablely. 2nd Edition seems largely an attempt to deal with the dry presentation of the original rulebook, matching it up to current standards for RPG core rulebooks.

HumbleBundle is running a deal for Privateer Press's Warmachine/Hordes wargame and Iron Kingdoms RPG, and it looks like you get a bizarrely large amount of stuff, too, but it looks somewhat inflated by including a bunch of fiction with each tier. Edit: Coupons only really seem worth it if you're within the States. :/ From what I can tell, if you live in good ol' Blighty, you barely save any money from just buying from an Online retailer.

Humble Bundle currently has The One Ring RPG published by Cubicle Seven, which has a couple of mentions on the Fatal & Friends thread, but, you know, positive ones. The deal is still good for 7 days! seven days  Brand new is a bunch of board-games-made-into-digital-games, including Ticket to Ride, Pathfinder Adventures and Talisman! One buck gets you Ticket to Ride & Expansions, Mysterium and... Sentinels of the Multiverse?  Android versions of TtR and Mysterium come with, too.Currently, paying just under $6 gets you Talisman plus Expansions, Carcassonne, an expansion for SotM and Pathfinder Adventures. PA is D&D but it's a card game - i.e. if you can't read "d20" without 'Nam flashbacks, you should still be alright. Plus, Android version of Talisman . A full  gets you Armello, which isn't a boardgame as far as I'm aware but I hear it's good.

DriveThruRPG's Trick or Treat Halloween Free Stuff Thing is now up. The ones I've found so far: Kids on Bikes: Core Rulebook found on the Halloween sale page in the form of a pumpkin, a fairly recent game about your child protagonists from E.T and Stranger Things and so on so forth having adventures. You're gonna want to sign in and head to the Newsletters and Follow your Favorites page and click the witch's pointy hat for Malicious Mischief, a supplement to add the dark, gothic trickster versions of fairies to your Shadow of the Demonlord games. Checking out your library and clicking the pumpkin waaay down at the bottom gets you Monsters and Other Childish Things: Curriculum of Conspiracy, a game setting and adventure putting your kid and their unfortunately-not-imaginated friend deal with being the new kid at a fancy school. I will update if I find any more through my searches. Edit: Looking up the history of DriveThruRPG and their slow but sure possible-monopoly of RPGs on the internet in their About page, clicking the pumpkin gets you Head Shot! Zombie Apocalypse Action Roleplaying a set of add-on rules to... err... well it says it's compatible to Cortex Prime, but isn't stand alone and uses rules from Cortex Plus Hacker's Guide, but there is meant to be a SRD available... somewhere... I can't find it on the first page of Google, so have fun hunting! Also there's an additional free in the form of Head Shot: Takes Talent. Edit, Again: If you look to your recent history on the front page, you'll find a witches hat that gives you Fear Can't Hurt You, a Halloween themed scenario for ELEMENTAL, an rpg for any theme. The scenario is already PWYW, but you might as well read through both it and the free Quickstart, One Page Rules and Character Sheet and see if you can make a fun evening of it. Edit, Once Again: For the sixth treat, look upon your sordid past in the Account History page and click the pumpkin for The Demonic Interference at New Ritupis Church an adventure for 2nd Edition D&D but it can no doubt be hammered into B/X, Rules Cyclopedia, Gold & Glory or 5th Edition with enough force. A village needs a new church, some years after the last one burnt down, a new priest is trying to get one built but wouldn't you know it - it gets knocked down and scattered about each night. "Several plot layers", some of which require roleplaying and speaking to NPCs to solve rather than just stabbing everything in sight. Final, Probably, Edit: It's worth checking the same pages on DriveThruFiction, Comics and Cards as they include some RPG-related freebies too, including a bunch of neat third party stuff for Curse of Strahd.

90s Cringe Rock posted:Don't suppose you have a handy link summarising that, do you? Unless you mean the basic concept of "a game based on that guy's artwork," I knew about that. Dude's accused of tracing too much for his art. Anyhoo~ Wargame Terrain, a wargaming blogging site has news on Produs selling their Aliens Vs Predator range, which is to be discontinued, for 40% off. This is neat if you want to have official figures for Xenomorphs or the elite, man-hunting race of aliens who can be defeated by autistic people as we have magic technology-figure-out-powers or something I didn't watch it but the reviews were less than stellar. 3 Predators for £18, the same but 'cloaked' for the same price, 5 Xenomorphs for £9, "Female yautja are larger and stronger than their male counterparts. While many sport prominent mammary glands-"  Predators also have doggos, apparently. Talk 'bout pink tax when the lady-tor is £12 for one, and the dudes are £18 for 3. Anyway, you were probably never going to play the game but it might be nice to pull out a Big Chap for some other Sci-Fi game. 5 days left in the sale, then it's presumably gone forever.

Bundle of Holding has a few offers going. 2 for Fantasy Hero (GURPS-like, based off the system that Champions ran on), a combination of two source books for a very large dungeon and a very large city, Corporation RPG, and Mutant Epoch. ME is a fairly zany Post-Apoc RPG that uses a system similar to the generic version of Call of Cthulhu, but worse in a few ways. You add your points (attributes and skills) subtract whatever opposes those (difficulty, or enemy attributes and skills) and try to roll under that number on d100. Not great, but there could be worse. Art is so-so - the artist can draw three women: an ugly woman, a impossibly thin "beautiful" woman, and the former but she has two heads. Drawings of dudes are much more varied. Otherwise, it isn't terrible. They put out free stuff occasionally, but one of these was a race of mutant women who are every negative stereotype of women, who are also three/four(?) legged and also wear a sort of thong, implying there's stuff that needs to be hidden between all these legs (cue "8 legs - seven vaginas" meme here) - but a lot of the artist's other women usually wear something similar so presumably they were on autopilot at the time  However, rolling up a mutant is always fun! I haven't read any of the setting stuff in any detail. Scattered towns of trading posts, etc. There's a couple adventures in an abandoned mall, a trading post examined in detail, etc.

(Who sell a ruleset for skirmish battles called 'Open Combat') A bunch of those female figures that Bad Squiddo does would be great to represent adventurers if you're running those 'advanced 5e' rules from Bundle of Holding...
