Alas, there were no bids for the unopened copy of Dungeon Crawl I donated to Shire Con. Art & Arcana and the Ogre Kickstarter box DID sell.
The shirts were from Bob G's Paranoia session.
What an amazing time! My hat's off to Thom, the volunteers, the attendees, and the venue for the best Shire Con to date. As they've all been awesome, that says a lot ;)
Matt Finch, the main man behind Mythmere Games, is best known for the Swords & Wizardry retro-clone, but Matt is virtually the Godfather of the OSR. What is often overlooked is he was one of the guiding hands behind OSRIC which helped kick off the old school renaissance as we know it.
Matt's current Kickstarter is the Tome of Worldbuilding, a system-neutral sourcebook to fuel your desire to create new worlds. As it's from Matt Finch, you know it going to be damn good.
30 bucks get you the Tome of Worldbuilding and the Nomicon (a book of names) in PDF. 55 bucks get you the Tome of Worldbuilding in Print plus PDF.
These sourcebooks for world creation are system-neutral, and can be used with any fantasy roleplaying game, of any edition.
The Tome of World Building is written by ENNIE-award winning author Matt Finch, author of the critically-acclaimed Tome of Adventure Design. Using the Tome of World Building, you can create fantasy worlds quickly and fill them out with a wealth of detail from the random-generation tables in this book.
This Kickstarter offers two high quality hardcover books to create a trilogy of creative power with the Tome of Adventure Design. The first is the Tome of World Building, allowing you to create maps, cultures, countries, wilderness regions, and all the history and backstabbing politics of a fantasy world. The second is the Nomicon, with tables to invent fantasy names for everything you'll generate using the Tome of World Building.
This book contains advice, real-world facts, systems, and LOTS of random generation tables to help you create a fantasy world for tabletop adventuring.

Adventurer! We've resurrected (for a second time!) our March 2016 HackMaster Bundle featuring HackMaster, the tabletop fantasy roleplaying game from Kenzer and Company. Originally a parody introduced in Jolly Blackburn's long-running gaming comic Knights of the Dinner Table, HackMaster has evolved into a full-fledged, serious (well, semi-serious) FRPG. Once again this HackMaster offer – revived alongside our all-new companion offer from Kenzer, KoDT Trouble 7 – gives you everything you need for your own HM campaign, including all the core rulebooks, for an unbeatable bargain price.
For just US$12.95 you get all five titles in our Player Collection (retail value $57) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete 405-page HackMaster Player's Handbook; two volumes of priest spells, Zealot's Guide: Book 1 and Book 2; and the adventures In the Realm of the Elm King and its sequel Legacy of the Elm King.
And if you pay more than the threshold price of $28.45, you'll level up and also get our entire Gamemaster Collection with three more supplements worth an additional $95, including the 370-page HackMaster GameMaster's Guide, the 387-page Hacklopedia of Beasts monster manual, and the campaign setting Frandor's Keep.
