Deal of the Day - The Witcher RPG

I'm a huge fan of The Witcher franchise - video games, TV series, and even comics (in digital, of course). While I own The Witcher RPG, I don't expect I'll ever run it (I own WAY too many RPGs). Instead, I read it for the lore.

Today's Deal of the Day is The Witcher RPG. Normally 24.99 in PDF, until tomorrow morning, The Witcher RPG is on sale for 7.50

In the midst of the 3rd Nilfgaardian War Geralt of Rivia, the White Wolf, scours the Continent for traces of his lost love! But this is not the only tale. A million other stories play out across the vast continent and you are right in the middle of one of them!

The Witcher Pen & Paper RPG allows you to tell your own story in the world of The Witcher! Adventure across the Continent, interacting with living legends and influencing the politics of the land! Fight in the brutal and horrific Third Nilfgaardian War. Or play out your own adventure as you avoid death and dismemberment!

Free OSR - For Gold & Glory (AD&D 2e Clone)

I just finished playing in a 2-year-long AD&D 2e campaign run by JoetheLawyer. I realized mid-campaign that, except for my trip to Gen Con in '94, it was the only time I played 2e as a player. Go figure...

Today's Free OSR Pick is For Gold & Glory, a free clone of the core AD&D 2e rules.

Within these pages lie the keys to open worlds of wonder and adventure! Whether you are exploring dank dungeons, forging mighty kingdoms, or questing to save the world, For Gold & Glory contains all that you need to run a complete game. Inside these covers, you will find rules to:

• Create heroic characters and guide them as they advance in power.
• Equip characters with everything they need to survive the perils of adventure.
• Guide characters through encounters, whether through wits and skill or strength of arms.
• Reward characters with glittering wealth and wondrous treasures.
• Challenge all characters, from novices to veterans, with over 140 creatures both fair and foul.
• For players and game masters alike, For Gold & Glory is compatible with the second edition of the "advanced" version of the world's most popular role-playing game.
