Its March and that means the annual GM's Sale at RPGNow. I'll be putting together a series of Tavern OSR Picks for this year's sale (although a pick or two may stray from those OSR parameters). This is Part 2. Part 1 is here.

These and many other intricacies of social interactions and responsibilities are brought to light in this volume."  4.99  3.34
