Sale - DragonLance Chronicles Hardcover $18.51

For many of those from my generation, the DragonLance Chronicles was the first true crossover piece of fiction read by D&D players and our "normal" friends. Was it great fantasy fiction? No. But damn, it was good and fun to read.

My original paperback copies are long gone, but damn, this hardcover is a nice replacement. Regularly priced at $35, Amazon is currently offering The Dragonlance Chronicles for a sale price of $18.51, and it ships for free with a Prime membership.

“Before there was Game of Thrones―there was Dragonlance.”—Vox

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Rediscover the world of Dragonlance with the first three novels in one of the most popular fantasy series of all time—now featuring a new foreword by Joe Manganiello!

Dragons.

Creatures of legend. Stories told to children.

But now dragons have returned to Krynn. The darkness of war and destruction threatens to engulf the land.

Then hope appears—a blue crystal staff in the hands of a beautiful barbarian woman. The promise of hope, as fleeting as smoke upon the autumn wind, forces a group of long-time friends into the unlikely roles of heroes.

Knight and barbarian, warrior and half-elf, dwarf and kender and dark-souled mage; they begin a perilous quest for—the legendary Dragonlance.

Dragonlance Chronicles features the novels Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning.

Deal of the Day - Wind Wraith - A Generative Wavecrawl Setting Toolkit

I love books that are random tables PLUS (yes, JoetheLawyer may have a stroke when I state this - sue me Joe ;)

Wind Wraith is today's Deal of the Day - usually 18.99, Wind Wraith is currently on sale for 5.70

Wind Wraith is a toolkit that you can use to generate your own fantasy post-apocalypse ocean world, complete with scattered islands, factions, ships, and ancient arcane machines. Play as the descendants of the survivors of a great flood, explorers in a fallen world, as they build and upgrade their ship and crew. Attempt to unravel the mysteries of the past and survive with limited resources. Wind Wraith was made for the old school essentials rule system but can easily be converted to many other rule systems.

Inspired by Yoon-Suin, Wind Wraith is a generative setting toolkit. This means every game master will generate their own unique flooded world with the book. This is achieved through a pipeline of random generation tables that begin with broad brush strokes and gradually zoom in to a micro scale. Also included are quick-start rules and detailed pre-generated islands so you can start playing right away.

Content Included:

• Quick start island
• Sea generation

Wayward Kickstarter - UV-RPG - A new way to virtually game with friends!

UV-RPG features a video to video connection, dice rolling, and character sheet creation all in one app!

I know what you are thinking - aren't VTTs a thing? Haven't they been a thing for over 2 decades now? (Fantasy Grounds was founded in 2004 / Screen Monkey in 2005 - there may be earlier VTTs). Well, apparently, no one ever told Jonathon.

There are dice rolling apps for individuals, there are calling apps, but there's not an app the includes all elements needed for gaming virtually.

The funding goal is $5,000, and Jonathan doesn't plan on charging for it once it's released. He's raised 0 after a month (there was a $700 pledge apparently at some point, but that has flaked.

I created the video presentation which I shared with multiple App development companies. I finally found an company that agreed to make a working prototype of that, make sure it was correct with us, and then create the actual app with any revisions needed. The cost is $5,000 but includes giving us ownership of the app upon completion as well.

Bundle of Holding - Hostile (Cepheus Engine Deep Space Horror RPG)

I've enjoyed reading through Mothership, and now I want to check out Hostile!

Adventurer! Name notwithstanding, this Hostile Bundle, resurrected (for a second time!) from April 2022, is a friendly offer of the tabletop science-fiction roleplaying game of deep-space alien horror, Hostile from Zozer Games. Based on the Cepheus Engine rules (closely modeled on Classic Traveller), Hostile is a gritty retro-future setting inspired by movies like Outland, Blade Runner, and Alien – a universe of harsh planets and toxic atmospheres – claustrophobic space freighters and brutal industrial colonies – ancient horrors entombed on icy moons – killer ETs, perfectly evolved to survive at any cost. Whether you're a combat-weary veteran or a miner on a grungy corporate star tug deep in the Extraction Zones, Hostile pits you against deadly hazards in an unforgiving void where no one can hear you scream.

This revived April 2022 offer gives you a new chance to get much of the Hostile line for an unbeatable bargain price – an obviously generous and well-meaning gesture. For just US$9.95 you get all five titles in this revived offer's Starter Collection (retail value $48) as DRM-free ebooks, including the complete standalone Hostile Rules and Setting core books, the Gunlocker weapons guide (it'll come in handy, trust us), the Cepheus Handouts, and the Referee's Screen.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $20.36, you'll level up and also get this revival's entire Bonus Collection with eight more titles worth an additional $56 that let you build out your pitiless universe:

• Three guides to survival on bad worlds that don't want you: Explorers, Dirtside, and Colony Builder
• Two bestiaries about entities that really, really do want you: Alien Breeds and Synthetics
• Two hardware and vehicle guides: Gunboats & Shuttles and Marine Corps Handbook 2215
• A campaign framework well described by its title: Crew Expendable
