Backerkit - Weird Frontiers Reference Guide

Right off the bat, this is from David Baity, one of the nicest creators in gaming. Oh, and he's a huge cst-person, just saying ;)

Weird Frontiers, a weird west RPG powered by the DCC RPG engine, is literally in two volumes if you buy it as POD. So yes, a Weird Frontiers Reference Guide would be very useful ;)

You asked, and we listened! The latest addition to the Weird Frontiers product line is a much-needed resource that compiles all the things you regularly have to go flipping through the book for! Keep the game going smoothly with this must-have resource!

Deal of the Day - Secrets of the Golden Throne (Against the Darkmaster)

So, I finally did a little research, as I had thought that Against the Darkmaster was a clone/reimagining of RoleMaster, but I was wrong. It's inspired by Middle-earth Role Playing, which was a simpler version of RoleMaster; however, Against the Darkmaster seeks to make MERP even cleaner and simpler. I may need to give the core rules a closer look, but I digress.

Today's Deal of the Day is Secrets of the Golden Throne. It's a rules supplement / mini setting / campaign for Against the Darkmaster. Coming in at 355 pages. Normally priced at $19, until tomorrow morning, Secrets of the Golden Throne is priced at $3.80 - an 80% discount!

Secrets of the Golden Throne is the major supplement for Against the Darkmaster, containing new rules and options for both the players and the GM, but it’s also a mini-setting, and an epic campaign that will pitch your heroes against the machinations of an entity older than the world itself.

Inside Secrets of the Golden Throne you’ll find:

• Five new Kins: Ethereal Pixies, unseen Gnomes, enigmatic Changelings, beguiling Asrai and voracious Ogres.
• New Cultures and Backgrounds to expand your character options.
• New magic options and 30 new Spells.
• New combat and rules options to help you run underwater and aerial adventures.
• A Bestiary containing a host of new monstrous adversaries.
• The island of Awallon, an original setting inspired by fairy tales and Arthurian legends which can be used on its own, or easily dropped into an existing campaign setting.
• Guidelines to help you create both Awallonian and Outlander PCs.
• An epic campaign that will see the heroes travel across all of Awallon, in order to face an unprecedented threat and decide the fate of the entire world.

Deal of the Day - Brightborne

No, Brightborne isn't an OSR game (but it is a dungeon crawler of sorts). Nor is it old school in nature. But for 2 bucks, I'm more than happy to read a ruleset that offers GM-less - or even solo - play. It might be fun for a pick-up game to kill some time at a convention.

Until tomorrow morning, Brightborne is on sale for $2 (normally 5 bucks). It's impulse-buy pricing, and I'm being impulsive today ;)

From the creator of the bestselling games ENTITY, KUROI, CAMPFIRE STORY, and STORYTELLERS comes a new GM-less, roguelike, diceless dungeon-crawling RPG for 1–4 players: BRIGHTBORNE.

Set in a richly detailed, lore-packed grimdark world, all you need to play is the rulebook, a pencil, and a deck of classic blackjack cards.

Featuring tactical grid-based combat and easy-to-learn rules, it’s perfect for both newcomers to dungeon crawlers and seasoned veterans alike. It also contains a structural loop to keep your story focused, as you have seen in the Entity title.

Bundle of Holding - The Expanse & Modern AGE

Disregard the fact that Green Ronin has been running a GoFundMe to pay for a lawyer in the Diamond Distributors Bankruptcy case (hint - it ain't going to help). The fact is, the AGE System, introduced with the Dragon Age RPG, is a decent system. Additionally, The Expanse is a setting full of gaming. Literally a Win-Win.

Adventurer! We've resurrected (for a third time!) our December 2020 Modern AGE and Expanse RPG Bundlefeaturing The Expanse Roleplaying Game based on James S. A. Corey's mega-popular science fiction novels of diplomacy, danger, and discovery in the future Solar System. This bargain-priced revival also includes Modern AGE, which adapts the same rules for high-power action from the Industrial Revolution onward. Both these tabletop roleplaying games use the easy and fast-playing Adventure Game Engine (AGE) from Green Ronin Publishing. You have a new chance to get everything you need for your own campaign of modern adventure or high-flying hard sf.

For just US$17.95 you get all six titles in this revived offer's Modern Collection (retail value $85) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete Modern AGE Basic Rulebook and the Modern AGE Companion; the cross-dimensional campaign setting Threefold; Enemies & Allies for Threefold and other Modern AGE games; the adventure Missions: Warflower; and the Modern AGE Game Master's Kit.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $33.19, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Expanse Collection with five more titles worth an additional $80, including the complete standalone The Expanse Roleplaying Game core rulebook, The Expanse Game Master's Kit, the scenarios Abzu's Bounty and Salvage Op, and – newly added in this revival! – Ships of the Expanse, the 144-page guide to every kind of spacefaring vehicle in the Solar System. And if you purchased this offer during any of its three previous runs, you get the newly added Ships of the Expanse automatically on your Wizard's Cabinet download page and in your linked DriveThruRPG Library. When you buy a Bundle of Holding early, you never worry about missing a title added later – even much later.

Humble Bundle - Award Winning & Nominated RPGs (Presented by the ENNies)

I'm not even going to go into whether or not the ENNies are relevant (I cover such in THIS Video). Nope, simply appreciate the number of useful titles in the Award Winning & Nominated RPGs (Presented by the ENNies) Bundle and judge accordingly.

As usual with Humble Bundle, the mid-range Bundle lacks the bargain of the low end (5 bucks includes Peterson's Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors, Forbidden Lands RPG, Ashen Stars RPG, The 20th Anniversary Release of Freeport, and others), and the $25 level offers 27 titles, including titles such as Blade Runner, Dragon Age, The Strange, The One Ring Core Rules, some Delta Green Releases, some classic D20 era DCC releases, a solo CoC adventure, and much more.
