Bundle of Holding - Lex Arcana

Ah, lookie here! We have a Romanesque RPG that mixes history with things man was not meant to know. If only there were a way to ping Alyssa Faden. Oh course, she probably already knows about Lex Arcana. ;)

Vale, custos! This all-new Lex Arcana Bundle presents Lex Arcana, the tabletop historical-fantasy roleplaying game from Italian design team Quality Games (published by Acheron Games) of a magical Roman Empire that never fell. Travel the known world to study arcane lore, uncover conspiracies, and battle dangerous supernatural creatures. It's Cthulhu Invictus meets The X-Files – the HBO Max Rome series meets The Witcher. Dive into the mysteries and dangers of ancient Rome. The Emperor commands!

Co-designed by Francisco Nepitello (The One Ring), the beautiful Lex Arcana Second Edition rulebook was funded in a big September 2018 Kickstarter campaign. Get the complete 310-page rulebook, four gorgeous full-color setting guides, and ten scenarios for an unbeatable bargain price. For just US$17.95 you get all three full-color titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $65) as DRM-free ebooks, including the Lex Arcana core rulebook (plus the free Quickstarter) and the setting sourcebooks Italia and Encyclopedia Arcana.

Aegyptus supplement for Lex ArcanaAnd if you pay more than the threshold price of $32.20, you'll level up and also get our entire Bonus Collection with three more supplements worth an additional $56, including the campaign sourcebooks Dacia and Thracia and Aegyptus and the ten-scenario collection Mysteries of the Empire.

Kickstarter - Tomb of Zines, a Storage Box for your Fantasy RPG Zines (Phil Reed)


I'm a huge fan of Phil Reed and his various Kickstarters. They are always a great value for your money, ship on time, and are universally useful. It doesn't hurt that I consider Phil a friend, but I'd be saying all of this regardless ;)

This time around, Phil is offering a box to hold your various zines - The Tomb of Zines. But it's not just a box, it's also gaming content. Imagine that...

If you've been collecting fantasy roleplaying game zines, then you've likely hit the same problem that many of us have: how do you store these things? The indie community does an incredible job of creating fun, entertaining game content in all sorts of sizes, shapes, and formats, but it can sometimes be challenging to figure out where and how to store all of these remarkable works of art.

That's where the Tomb of Zines comes into play! This storage box features a 6.25" x 9.25" x 2" space to carry your favorite zines. Better still, the box is more than just a box! Printed on the outside and inside of the box are random tables to assist the gamemaster in preparing quick encounters and packed with possible adventure ideas. The back of the box features a table that directs the GM to one of six different brochures included inside the box.

The six brochures are each 9" x 9" in size, double-sided, and folded down to 3" x 9" so that they fit neatly in the Tomb of Zines. These six brochures are packed in the box at the project launch. All six are written and ready for the editing process! 

  • The Wizard's Secrets - 2d12 table. What secret does the wizard reveal before he dies?
  • The Wizard's Requests - 2d10 table. What does the wizard ask of the party?
  • The Wizard's Demands - 2d20 table. What does the wizard demand of the adventures?
  • The Wizard's Summons - 5d6 table. What terrible or frightening thing has the wizard summoned?
  • The Wizard's Tales - 1d12 table. What story does the wizard tell the heroes?
  • The Wizard's Attacks - 1d20 table. Exactly how does the wizard attack theadventurers?

Bundle of Holding - Sorcery & Super Science

I remember being excited about the release of Sorcery & Super Science well over a decade ago. The setting was interesting and I can recall nothing about the game engine itself. Not a surprise, I have purchased way too many RPG products over the intervening.

I AM surprised that we are seeing a Sorcery & Super Science Bundle prior to seeing a Torg bundle, an IP with actual history being it, but maybe that's because I'm looking at my original Torg box on my shelf and wishing for more material for the setting at an affordable price point.

In any case, the Sorcery & Super Science Bundle can be had for a mere 12.95, and I suspect much of the support material could be wedged into a Mutant Crawl Classics or Mutant Future campaign without much work.

Adventurer! This Sorcery & Super Science Quick Deal presents the 2010 gonzo-apocalypse tabletop science-fantasy roleplaying game Sorcery & Super Science from Joseph (Arden Vul) Browning at Expeditious Retreat Press. After a worldwide catastrophe, the Moon's in pieces and even time is broken. It is a dangerous new world, where advanced technology exists alongside mystic artifacts – where super-scientists use their knowledge to create tools for trade, health, and combat – where mutants pit their powers against Winged Carnivorous Mastodons and other terrors of the wilds. Flex your mutated muscles, whisper the words of long-dead sorcerers, or repair the technology of a world long gone. Get your Thundaar on, because the world under the shattered moon is yours to explore.

This all-new Quick Deal presents Expeditious Retreat's complete S&SS RPG line, plus seven novels, for an unbeatable bargain price. For just US$12.95 you get all twenty-one titles in our Super Science Collection (retail value $61) as DRM-free ebooks, including .PDFs of the complete Sorcery & Super Science! corebook; the ZZZ Quick Guide to North America location sourcebook; ten small supplements with Characters, Creatures, and Objects Below the Shattered Moon; the adventures Scourge of the Mall Rats and Vulture Men of Waukegan; and ePub versions of the seven-novel Shattered Moon series.
